My next stop was the Fairview Tavern with G.S. Harper and Kevin Fancher for our monthly Cleveland Music Club appearance. Our thanks to those who came out to party with us on a Wednesday night!
On Friday, Shady Drive rocked the Fairview Tavern all night into the wee hours of Saturday morning. What a blast! Always a fun time there. Thanks to Chris, Daryl, Denny, Al, Ken, Sandy, Barb, George and everyone else who came out on Friday! :c)
On Saturday, Shady Drive played a private function with the North Coast Horns who seriously funked it up all night! Thanks guys…we had a great time and you seriously rocked! Speaking of the North Coast Horns, don’t forget they’ll be co-hosting another Cleveland Music Club “Horn Jam” on July 31st along with Rob Hayes, Kevin Fancher and me. After the host band set, we’ll have over 25 charts so all you horn players can get your jam on!! Mark this date on your calendars!
Coming up this week, we’ll kick it off with another Cleveland Music Club Jam Night at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm). As always, Doc’s delicious burgers are 2 for 1 and margaritas are $3 until 9pm. This week’s co-hosts are G.S. Harper and Kevin Fancher and our sponsor is Sonor Drums. Come out and get your jam on with us!
This Friday, Shady Drive travels back to Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted, 8:30pm – 12:30pm) to party the night away with Doc, his gang…and YOU! The fun starts at 8:30pm, so come early and get a good seat! Hope to see you there!
On Saturday, Shady Drive returns to the Peppermill Pub and Grill (7011 Mill Rd., Brecksville, 9pm – Midnight) Come join the party as we rock the house with the fun folks at the Peppermill! Things get rolling at 9pm. Come early for dinner and enjoy one of Gus’ many remarkable dishes (the pasta ROCKS) and a great wine selection. Afterwards, kick back with a cold beer and listen to your favorite blues and rock tunes played the Shady Drive way!
That’s all for this week. We’ll talk soon…
