Out & About continued....
following out there. There were so many people jumping and dancing on the dance floor that I actually felt the floor moving up and down and wondered if the basement has a 12 ft. ceiling?!? Smooth Like Clyde puts on a great show! Their energy and variety of songs is tons of fun. It’s unbelievable how they move from one artist to the next. You really have no clue what they are going to do next! I’m glad Sabrina invited me out and I finally got a chance to see these guys again. The next night I tried to get up to Tubby’s in Duncannon to see the Colt Wilbur Band opening for American Posse. Colt Wilbur was celebrating his 21st birthday and there was definitely a party going on! I can’t believe he’s only 21! I missed his bands set, but American Posse had him up to sing a couple songs, and his voice is just amazing. I really hope to catch a full set of the Colt Wilbur Band soon. I’ll have to check out their ad in this issue and plan a night to catch them Out and About. I don’t know if it was American Posse’s first night at Tubby’s but they had a great crowd. American Posse has been blowing away the local stages for a few years now. Their talent as a band is awesome to see and hear. Plus their ability to cover all of your top country hits with Steve and Shelby at the mic is just awesome! If you are a country fan and you haven’t gotten out there to see American Posse yet, I highly suggest it! I left Tubby’s early enough that I still had time to finish off my night at Double K with Ebenezer Screw. I enjoy country music and can handle listening to it, but my true passion is Metal! I love to let loose and bang my head! I’ve said it before, but I’ve been able to handle going “Out and About” for so long because of all the different types of music I get to see in one month, or even it one night! Going from country to hard rock/metal is a shock to the system, but one my system likes! Ebenezer Screw had Double K rockin’ hard when I got there with plenty of people squishing on to the dance floor to bang their heads and having a good time. Sonic Productions was there doing sound and lights and you could tell by the awesome precision. Aaron and Scott of Sonic Productions are a great team and can get any show above and beyond all expectations. If you need sound and lights for your show, check out their ad in this issue and get them booked for your next big gig. On a side note.. I wanted to apologize to Single Barrel. Last month I mentioned that Chris DellaPorta’s new band is an all original band and they are not. They are playing some obscure covers that you don’t hear from other bands in the area, and that I’ve never heard of before so I just assumed that they are originals, silly me. I greatly apologize to anyone that I’ve led astray. Single Barrel is taking the area by storm and hopefully you’ll catch them at a show soon! This month I’m really looking forward to taking Mom down to see Walk Off the Earth in Philly. They are playing at Radio 104.5’s Summer Block Party at The Piazza. We’ve both been mesmerized by their awesome videos on YouTube and their latest release R.E.V.O. I can’t wait to see how good they are live! The Summer Block Party consists of three different amazing shows with all different artists. It’s a free show so I’m sure it’s going to be packed, but we can’t wait to check it out! We’re so glad that Clear Channel is accepting us as press so hopefully I’ll at least get close enough to take a few good shots! Well that’s all for this month. I’m hoping to be around a little more throughout the month of August. Although I am escaping this weekend to Connecticut, next weekend to Philly and delivering, and then of course I need to go camping at least one more time before summer is over.. Oh geez.. well I have this new camera that is dying to take pics of local talent, so hopefully I’ll get a chance to use it. Thanks to everyone for all of your support!!
