Chris Neal is jamming out at Bouchez on June 19th and El Cotija Mexican Restaurant on June 25th. The Cavern presents 2 Finger Jester on June 18th, hosted by The 11th Hour. Florida Rock Band, Simone and the Supercats, will double your pleasure with two shows at Yesterdaze, Friday 24th & Saturday 25th. Eddie Stone is in Europe with Doc Holliday, yes it’s a drive, but oh so worth it. Still, you can catch Rob Walker with Phil and Machelle Palma at The Tavern at Southland Station on Russell Pkwy, Wednesdays starting at 6:30pm. To all of you mentioned and those
I missed, have a great gig, wherever you may be. If I missed you, email me at david.11thhourhoco@gmail.com And, well, there you go.
OPEN MIC MIGHTS Yes I said mights. Within one week of moving to Warner Robins from Florida, I had started an open mic night at Shenanigan’s, which I thought ‘might’ work. It only lasted five months but they were five great months. It’s true I didn’t get many people at once, but was able to meet many fun players from novice to awesome. With Cody on drums and Wynn on Bass, we could always wing any number of songs. So, I’m here to promote open mic nights and encourage you who wish to be better at your instrument or voice to try one or two out. Go sit in with Live G8rz at Shenanigan’s Mondays from 6-9 then head North to Kippers and chill with Jason Taylor Hobbs and Darin Curtis. How about Wednesday night at The Hangar? Joseph and Dawn are servin’ up heapins of great jams complete with drum set and Bose speakers. I guess all I can say is that nothing will challenge you more as a musician than sitting with people more experienced than you as well as people who need a little direction. You just never know when you’re going to get a uniquely memorable experience like a good open mic night. I’d love to hear your
thoughts on this so email me at david.11thhourhoco@gmail.com and I’ll post your quotes in the next issue.
HEROES MUSIC FEST Hearken unto my voice all ye bands and band-related people! An awesome opportunity has recently come on the scene. HMF is looking for a band to fill a slot at the music fest and is hosting a Battle of the Bands to find it. Here’s the skinny, bands should go to www.heroesmf.com to sign up. Bands must perform 2 originals and 1 cover. They will be judged by a celebrity artist, a producer from Nashville and Jason Hawk of Q106. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place including cash, recording time and a chance to play onstage, September 10th at the HEROES MUSIC FEST, held at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
BASS YOURSELVES I think it appropriate to wish our fellow musician, Mark Fobus, a fine bass player and person, a solid farewell as he sets out overseas. We’ll miss you and look forward to your safe return. You can catch Mark’s last show with Failtrain at the Cavern this Saturday, 11th.
ROCKIN’ ROBINS
I decided to take a little cruise around town last week and see what was going on. I began my evening at Kippers enjoying a great Reuben and some of Bruce Brookshire’s all request hour along with the other patrons. Bruce is a gifted entertainer and an encyclopedia of songs. I would have spoken with him but he never stopped playing… Cool. Then I snuck up to Shenanigan’s and caught the first half of The Wayne Minor Band with guest drummer Leroy Wilson. Yeah, I’ll have the funky originals, heavy on the keys please. Nice job guys. From there I popped into The Cavern for a few minutes to say hi to DJ Kidd Star and check out the scene. As expected, the scene was groovy with a mix of dancers, pool players, ‘conversators’ and drink makers. Finally, I made it to Yesterdaze where I listened to the amazing voice and remarkable instrumentation of Big Daddy and the AllStarz. If you think Warner Robins doesn’t have a merited, marketable musical scene, think again. It’s only going to get better. My compliments to all you cats.
