Hi gang!

It has been an interesting week, to say the least. On Friday, we appeared at Durty Nellie’s. We were very disappointed in the behavior displayed by the club’s owner and as a result, we will no longer appear there. We’d like to express our thanks to Lanita and her crew, as well as Jen, Diane, Pat and Wally for coming out to see us and hope we’ll see you at another venue soon! :c)

Saturday night found us at the Fairview Tavern playing to a packed house. It was great to see Gary and Laura and their crew, Jeff, Marty, Mari, Wally, Don, Brad and Denny! We had an amazing time!

Coming up this week on Friday, Shady Drive will debut at 42eighty Food and Drink (4280 Shenandoah Dr., Brunswick, 9:30pm to 1:30am). The club just opened on May 1 and is really decked out with a great stage, lights and dance floor. It’s located just off Pearl Road between Route 303 and Grafton Road. There’s plenty of parking, the food is great and so is the service, so come check us out!

Due to the club’s remodeling, Shady Drive will not be appearing at the Purple Shamrock on May 19th as previously scheduled, but look for us there in the fall!

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

Rob, Kevin and Mike :c)

Hi gang!

My apologies that this is a day or two late. It’s been quite a week, as Erika and I were focused on a very special event. On Saturday, our daughter Amanda was married and that kept us pretty busy.

Erika and I want to send along special thanks to Shady Drive members Rob Hayes, Kevin Fancher, Erin Rossi, Bob Hayes and Dave Frank for doing such a wonderful job providing the music and fun at the reception. Huge thanks to Mr. Jon Darling who filled the drum chair in Shady Drive that night so I could concentrate on my ‘father of the bride’ duties. Your being there made it a very special evening. :c)

Coming up this week on Friday, Shady Drive returns to Durty Nellie’s (1151 West Pleasant Valley Road, Parma, 9pm – 1am) to rock out with the gang. It’s a great sounding venue with lots of seating, fast friendly service and great beverages, so come early to get a good spot!

On Saturday we’re back for our monthly appearance at the fabulous Fairview Tavern (21867 Lorain Rd., Fairview Park, 9:30pm – 1:30am). Great service, amazing food and lots of drink specials are features of the Tavern. Make plans now to join us this weekend!

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

Hi gang!

Another week gone by, and definitely one to remember. We kicked it off Friday night with an appearance at the newly renovated Rock West Music and Grub Pub in Westlake. The club and dance floor were both full way past 1am. We hope everyone there had as much fun as we did! Thanks to the management and staff for having us and for their hospitality. On Saturday morning, we were up early and rockin’ the GreenFest at North Ridgeville’s South Central Park! Thanks to all who braved the cold and rain to come out!

Coming up this week, we’re off to play a private event, but we’re back in full swing next week, so plan to join us then.

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

Another week is in the books! On Friday, Shady Drive played for a packed house at The Mad Cactus and rocked the joint until well after our 1am quitting time. We had a blast partying with Teddy, Tischa and the Cactus crowd including Gary, Laura, Jen, Gordy, Jeff, Chris, Daryl, Rich, Joanne and Robin. Thanks for coming out! :c)

Saturday found Shady Drive debuting at the Riverside Pub with friends Ami, Bob, George, Eric, Cheryl, Dana and Rob. Fun times!

Coming up on Friday, Shady Drive, joined by featured vocalist Erin Rossi, appears at the newly renovated Rock West Music and Grub Pub (30676 Detroit Rd., Westlake, 9pm – 1am). We’ll be playing all of your rock favorites by Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Pretenders, Adele and many more, so come join us!

Our debut at the Boneyard in Westlake on Friday went well in spite of the light turnout. Look for us to return there soon. On Saturday we appeared at Frascati’s in the Valley and had a great time! Thanks to Lisa, Joe, Jen and Diane for stopping out.

Coming up this week, head on out to Mad Mike’s (5045 Turney Rd., Cleveland, 9pm – 1am) this Friday and catch Shady Drive with special guest vocalist Erin Rossi. It’s always special when Erin sings with us and it doesn’t happen often, so you don’t want to miss this show!
