Hi gang!
There’s lots to tell this week! The Bullfrog’s Jam Nite was AMAZING with Erin Rossi, G.S. Harper and Sammy Free on board. A great crowd and some equally great music! Definitely a fun night!
On Wednesday Shady Drive was off to Savannah with special guest vocalist Erin Rossi and another fun night! There was a generous amount of dancing and partying going on, and the ol’ Savannah was rockin’ for sure!
Friday night found Shady Drive back at Cebar’s Euclid Tavern for some hot blues and cold beer. Both were flowing in abundance as we jammed until almost 2am with the Cebar’s gang. Love that place!
On Saturday, I appeared with No Hurry at the Quaker Steak and Lube in Sheffield. It was a gorgeous evening for music outdoors as Ira led the band through some great classic rock selections. It was a blast guys! :c)
Then on Sunday, Shady Drive played a private party held by Erin Rossi, and WHAT a party! We were joined onstage by Erin herself, Michelle Romary, Dieter Jagiela, Alexis, Audie and Ray Varga! The food, music and people were all outstanding. Thank you Erin for having us! :c)
Don’t sit down yet! Tonight I’m with Cleveland Music Club hosting the Lube Jam at Quaker Steak and Lube in Sheffield. Joining me onstage tonight at 7pm are Rob Hayes (Shady Drive), Mike Wypasek (Cool Breeze Band) and Sammy Free (Ace Molar, Dave’s Planet and Brothers Blues Band). Add The Lube’s famous wings and some cold beer and you’ve got a winning combination!
Tomorrow I’m back at Bullfrog’s for the Tuesday Night Jam at 7:30pm. This week, Dwayne Dickman and Tim Hamman fill the guitar and bass spots, so you don’t want to miss this one!
On Thursday, Shady Drive makes a debut appearance at Bubba’s Q in Avon for an installment of their “Blue Thursday” music series. We met Bubba while playing a private party and have really been looking forward to appearing at his establishment!
On Friday, Shady Drive makes a 4th consecutive appearance at the amazing “Twilight at the Zoo” event. Appearing with us this year are Erin Rossi and The North Coast Horns! If you have never attended this event, you’re missing something very special. Sam Adams beer, food and 17 bands are all included in the ticket price and located throughout the entire Cleveland Metroparks Zoo!! How COOL is that??
That’s it for this week! We’ll talk soon…
Mike :c)
