Hi gang!
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. It really doesn’t seem possible that the holidays are here already, does it?
It’s been a very busy week, starting with the Cleveland Music Club jam night on Tuesday at Doc and Louie’s. Many thanks to George Hartwig and G.S. Harper for a great job as co-hosts, to Bob Laeng, John Kerver, Katyana Speckman, The Party Plates (John Jannuzzi, Dennis David Bielinski, Sean Samson, Chris Patacky), Nick Samson, Marc Alu, Angelo Ciu, Bob DeVries, Todd Starr, Carol Dieball, Blake Kniola, Chloe Cottom, Mike Cottom, Carl E. De Scott, Jim, Scott, Ross, Mike, Peanuts, Barb, Doc & Louie’s music loving patrons, the amazing and tireless Kristen Grove for her hard work and to Doc for giving us a great place to hang out every Tuesday night! Congratulations go out to Carol Dieball and Marc Alu for winning door prizes!
On Wednesday, Shady Drive was off to Legacy Village and Claddagh Irish Pub for our annual Thanksgiving Eve show there. We always have a great time with the staff and patrons at Claddagh and this year was no exception! On Friday, we appeared at Harpo’s to work off the holiday calories and had a blast! Shady Drive was off on Saturday, so Erika and I were able to catch Tie Dye Harvest (Eroc Sosinski, Jim Tigue Bob Gerhard and Vince Broncaccio) at the Fairview Tavern. These boys know how to rock the house and put on a fantastic show. thanks for a great time, guys!
Coming up this week, I’ll be at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd. North Olmsted) on Tuesday for the weekly Cleveland Music Club jam night (7pm – 11pm). This week, my co-hosts are Dwayne Dickman and Tim Hamman. Our sponsor is Sonor Drums and we’ll give away a Sonor bass drum pedal among other prizes. As always, Doc features 2 for 1 burgers all night and $3 Margaritas until 9pm. It’s always a fun evening filled with great music, good food, drinks and prizes, all on a Tuesday night. Bring your favorite axe or just your ears and party attitude!
On Friday, Shady Drive returns to Irish Kevin’s (13601 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, 9pm-1am) to rock out with the Kevin’s gang while sampling a few of their 50 new bottled beers. If this sounds like a great way to spend a late fall Friday night, you’re right! Come on out and join us. :c)
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
