Hi gang!

It’s that time again! Last week was another warm one, but that didn’t stop our crowd from coming out on Friday night, when Shady Drive took the stage at Doc and Louie’s. The dance floor was full all night long as we partied with Charlie, Pat, the ‘Dancing Marilyns’, Joe, Liz, Shelley, Dave, Mike, Linda, Jared, and Dawn, among others. Thanks for coming out…we had a blast!

Next, Shady Drive headed east to Brecksville to play the Peppermill Pub and Grill. It was great to see Joe and Lisa again, and also Gina behind the bar keeping everyone’s glasses full. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to party with us! :c)

Coming up this week on Friday, we’ll cruise back to The Mad Cactus (9175 Pearl Rd., Strongsville, 9pm – 1am) to party the night away with Teddy and the Cactus gang. This is always a great time with an awesome crowd, so c’mon out and be a part of the fun!

Saturday is a busy day for us as we’ll start the day off at noon playing a private function. From there, we’ll hurry off to The Boneyard (Mayfield) (5900 Mayfield Rd., Mayfield Heights, 4pm – 5:30pm) to play the Bill O’Connor Memorial Poker Run which benefits the Police Athletic League. After that, we’re off to Seven Hills to appear with the Soul Men at Seven Hills Home Days (Seven Hills City Hall Grounds, 7325 Summitview Drive, Seven Hills, 7:30pm – 11pm). Anytime we’re on the stage with Jake and Elwood Soul is sure to be a blast, so don’t miss this one!

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, July 31 at 7pm, as the Cleveland Music Club Jam Night at Doc and Louie’s will host a special “Horn Jam” with co-hosts Rob Hayes (Shady Drive), Kevin Fancher (Shady Drive, Cactus Jack) and the amazing North Coast Horns! After the host band set, we’ll have over 25 charts for all of our horn players to jam along to. It’s gonna be GREAT!

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

Rob, Kevin and Mike :c)
