Coming up this week…
On Tuesday, the CMC Jam at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., N. Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm) features guest hosts Brian Davidson and Bill March. Our sponsor each week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. As always, Doc’s amazing burgers (w/fries) are $4.95 all night and margaritas are $3 until 9pm. There’s plenty of parking in Doc’s front and back lots, O’Reilly’s back lot and their front lot after they close at 9pm. Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, Sonor drums, Alesis QS6 keyboard and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancing shoes and come join the fun!
This Friday night, Shady Drive will return to the place where it all started for us, Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe (33137 Center Ridge Road, North Ridgeville). It’s been a LONG time since we’ve played this room, so we’re looking forward to rockin’ it out! Come out and party with us and let’s work off that Thanksgiving dinner together! :c)
On Saturday, Shady Drive will join up once again with the amazing Chris Hanna on keys and the fabulous North Coast Horns to rock the house at Doc and Louie’s (24280 Lorain Rd., N. Olmsted, 7pm – 11pm)! Come on out and stake out your spot on the dance floor while we play your favorite R&B, Motown, swing, blues and dance tunes!
That’s all for this week. We’ll talk soon…
Mike :c)
