Hey gang!

What happened to summer?? I can’t believe it’s time to start buttoning up the house for the winter. It was an extremely busy summer for Shady Drive. I also filled in with Run Avril Run and Burnt River Band as well as doing a few gigs with The Remainders and Swingtown Rebels.

Coming up in the month of October are the following:

October 1 – Shady Drive @ Saucy Bistro

October 6 – with Entourage @ Savannah

October 8 – Shady Drive @ The Mad Cactus

October 14 – Shady Drive @ Claddagh Irish Pub

October 15 – The Remainders @ The Sly Fox

October 16 – Shady Drive @ Sportsterz Bar and Grill (Geneva on the Lake)

October 22 – Shady Drive @ The Fairview Tavern

October 28 – Shady Drive @ Claddagh Irish Pub

October looks to be a busy month so far! Hope to see you at a gig!

Before I close, I’d like to take a moment to remember good friend and fellow drummer Dean Ward (known on drum forums as Junglelord), who passed away on September 19, 2010 at the age of 48. Dean’s enthusiasm for drumming, and for life, never wavered in the face of the many challenges and roadblocks he faced. His spirit and light will be terribly missed.

God bless you Dean. Rest in peace, brother. :c(
