Hi gang!

Wednesday’s Rock Show Jam at Aces Middleburg was awesome! It was great to see Sandy, Ken, Lisa, Katyana, Ron and all of the Aces gang. Thanks to Gary Stulak for having Rob and I out to host! We had a blast!

Friday’s Slim N’ Shady happy hour show at Blue Turtle was a ton of fun as always! Many thanks to Sandy, Ken, Erika, Chris, Daryl, Karen, Louise, Tricia and Pam for coming out!

Saturday night’s Slim N’ Shady appearance at the Fairview Tavern was rather disappointing attendance-wise. We called it a night after one set. We were hoping to get some post-fireworks folks but it didn’t happen.

Coming up this week…

This Tuesday, Mike hosts the Cleveland Music Club – CMC Jam at Bullfrog’s Sports Cafe (33137 Center Ridge Rd., N. Ridgeville, 8:30 – 12:30)

On Wednesday, Shady Drive will appear at The Grille (1813 Pearl Rd., Brunswick, 7-10pm) which features an amazing patio, with food to match (their gyros are THE BEST!) and lots of frosty cold beverages! Justin Butcher will join us on bass, so come on out and let’s rock the house!

on Thursday, join Mike, Brian Davidson and Bill Kraker as Cleveland Music Club plays Panini’s – Solon (6150 SOM Center Rd., 7-10pm).

Friday night finds Shady Drive teaming up with the North Coast Horns to play the Brookpark Home Days Festival (Brookpark Recreation Center, 17400 Holland Rd. Brookpark, 9pm – 11pm). Rick Matousek joins us on keyboards. This should be a great show, so make plans now to join us!

On Saturday, Shady Drive and the North Coast Horns return to headline the Fairview Park Summerfest (Bohlken Park, 7-11pm). Last year’s show was a blast, and this year should be even better, as we’ll stop the show briefly at dusk to watch the fireworks, and then we’ll go back to making music until 11pm!

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

Rob and Mike :c)
