Hi gang!

Last week started with a bang at Friday’s Shady Drive appearance at 42 Eighty, the crowd was light but mighty. Thanks to George, Chris, Daryl, Janet, Jen and Blake for partying with us! We had a blast! :c)

Last night’s gig was a private function and we’re playing another private event in just a few hours, so…on to what’s coming up this week…

This Friday, Shady Drive returns to The Peppermill (7011 Mill Rd., Brecksville, 9pm – 1am). The food is great, the beer is cold and there’s a rockin’ crowd at the ‘Mill ready to kick off the weekend, so come join the fun and party with us!

On Saturday, Shady Drive will play a private event in Toledo. Sunday will find us back home in Cleveland and attending the J.R. JAM, benefit for drummer Jim ‘JR’ Richley. It all happens Sunday June 30 at the Sly Fox (4755 Great Northern Blvd., North Olmsted, 5-11pm). Featuring sets by WISH YOU WERE HERE, SUGAR MAGNOLIA, RUN AVRIL RUN, JUKEBOX HEROES, and jams by musical friends of JR, the benefit will help pay for major medical expenses from 9 recent surgeries to treat Necrotizing Fascitis. Donation is $20, includes food & music, plus 50/50 raffle. Shady Drive will be participating in the jam and we hope to see you there!

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

Rob, Kevin and Mike :c)
