Hi gang!

Last week’s Tuesday CMC Jam was highlighted by great vocal performances by E.T. King, Jenny Debevec, Jmy T and Katyana Speckman! It was very cool to have a full house of talented singers. Many thanks to guest hosts Rob Hayes and George F Hartwig, to Bob Laeng, Tim Hamman, Joey Samide, Don Lydon and Bob DeVries for jamming with us and to Chris, Wally, Lisa, Joe S., Effie, Vern, Skip, the Danicing Marilyns and the rest of the ‘Frog Faithful,’ for hanging out and enjoying the tunes! Big thanks to our sponsor Dirty Town Guitar and Amps, and to the management and staff of Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe.

Props to The North Coast Horns (Al Widmer, Darrin Clark and Mark Rasnick), Chris Hanna and Adam Constantine for turning in amazing performances this past weekend! You guys ROCK!

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 Furious George Hartwig and Gary G Rock Stulak! Our sponsor each week is Dirty Town Guitar and Amps. 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 appears at The Bier Haus (17692 Pearl Rd., Strongsville, 8:30pm – Midnight). The food there is amazing and they feature dozens of craft beers. Not to mention that Bob, Michelle and staff rock the house in their own right with service that can’t be beat. Come join us! You’ll be glad you did!

Kevin Fancher announced on June 22 that he is moving to New York City to take a teaching position there. His last appearance with Shady Drive will be on August 1 at Twilight at the Zoo. Much success to you in your new adventure, Kevin! It’s been a pleasure to share the stage with you these past three years.

That’s all for this week! We’ll talk soon…
