Coming up this week…
The Cleveland Music Club – CMC Jam happens every Tuesday at Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe (33137 Center Ridge Rd., N. Ridgeville, 8:30 – 12:30) This week’s guest hosts are Rob Hayes and Tim Hamman! Our sponsor each week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. Also sponsoring this month is Guitar Center of North Olmsted. During the month of June, every jam participant will receive a coupon good for a $10 Guitar Center gift card! Full backline (two guitar amps, bass amp, Sonor drums and PA) is provided, so bring your favorite axe, sticks or just your party attitude and dancin’ shoes and come join the fun!
On Friday, Shady Drive will hit the stage at the Savannah Bar and Grill (30676 Detroit Rd., Westlake, 9pm – 1am). Bring your best dancin’ shoes, cause you’re gonna need ’em as we play your favorite rock and blues tunes. The food is stellar, the drinks are frosty, the dance floor is ready and Shady Drive will be layin’ down the groove. C’mon out and shake your tailfeather!
This Saturday, Shady Drive heads back to home base for our monthly appearance at 42 Eighty Food & Drink? (4280 Shenandoah Pkwy., Brunswick, 9:30pm – 1:30am). The food is great, drinks are cold and it’s always a great time at this Brunswick night spot, so come join us!
Then on Sunday evening, Shady Drive will appear at Columbia Reservation (25145 Royalton Rd., Columbia Station, 6pm – 8pm) as the first of their Summer Concert Series! Come out and enjoy some great music in an outdoor family friendly setting at Columbia Reservation! Please note that this is a no-alcohol event.
