Hi gang!
Another awesome week has gone by. If we didn’t see you this past week, here’s what you missed…
Tuesday’s Cleveland Music Club jam night at Doc and Louie’s was a blast! Dwayne Dickman and Eroc Sosinski co-hosted and our sponsors were Sonor Drums, Guitar Center of North Olmsted and Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. Coming out to jam with us throughout the evening were John Powell, Dan Elliott, Don Lydon, A.J. Henke, Marc Alu, Greg Kern, Jay Smith, Blake “Erie” Kniola, Kevin “Hollywood” Fancher, Rob Hill, Louis Johnson, John “Sizzle” Kerver, Chase Ockuly, T.J. Plechaty, Hayden Frosti, Dave Koler, Luke Pernici, Tony Shultz, Dan Hearns and Adelle Borchetta! The band Family Tradition (Charlie Vanek, Darrin Meecha and Rich Gross) closed out the jam and they were fantastic. Go check them out, too! Big thanks to Nancy Y., Amanda B., Jimmy D., Jason N., Jim B., Scott, Mike H., Breeayn S., Pam, Uncle Peanuts, The Dancing Marilyns and the rest of Doc’s music loving patrons for coming out and supporting live music!
Fast forward to Friday night, when Shady Drive appeared for the first time at 42Eighty Food and Drink. The venue really rocks with a great stage, lights and dance floor. Thanks to Gary, Laura, Coreen, Bob, Jen, Danielle, Khal, Chris, Daryl, Jess and the 42Eighty regulars who came out to party with us. We had a remarkable evening!
Coming up, we’ll start the week on Tuesday with the Cleveland Music Club Musicians’ Jam Night at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm). This week’s co-hosts are Rob Hayes (Shady Drive) and Sammy Free (Ace Molar, Dave’s Planet). The fabulous North Coast Horns (Dave Frank, Darrin Clark and Al Widmer) will join the host band this week and we’ll have over 25 horn charts available for horn players to jam along with the band! This looks to be an outstanding jam night, so don’t miss it! :c)
On Friday, Shady Drive will return to the stage at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 9pm – 1am) to rock out with Doc’s gang and party the night away. Our last time there was off the hook as we played until almost 2am, so come join the fun and bring your dancin’ shoes!
Then on Saturday, Shady Drive and featured guest vocalist Erin Rossi appear at the Parkview Nite Club (1261 W. 58th St., Cleveland). Playing at the Parkview is always a blast, so make plans now to join us for a night of hot blues, cold beer and great food! :c)
That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
