Events of this week

Wow! What a week in the local music scene!

First off, I was VERY fortunate to have been asked to be part of "Jammin' For Juju" at IT'S A GRIND COFFEE HOUSE in Plainsboro NJ. KIM YARSON did a fabulous job at arranging this affair; as well as lending her talent to the benefit. I was honored to share the stage with her, my new band mates JO WYMER and JERRY PASSION, as well as the other talented artists that donated their time to help this little girl who is stricken with Mitochondrial Dx. They should all be very proud of their efforts, which I'm told yielded great results.

Later that evening on ROCK ON RADIO; prelude to JAMFEST 4 week number two took place. My guests were Raritan NJ singer/songwriter DALE LAKATA and LOCAL SHACK owner PETE JESTER. Dale bought her guitarist DAVE BATESON and Pete brought the manager of the Local Shack DONNA TORRES. JAMFEST 4, a collaborative work between Jester and KURT HESSE, is being held this year at the LOCAL SHACK on Rte. 9 in Lakewood NJ. and features many talented performers.

Tonight (Wed.), let's not forget the "Acoustic Showcase" at KATMANDU in Trenton NJ. (http://www.katmandutrenton.com/ ) LANCE REICHERT always puts on a great line-up of talented musicians from both sides of the Delaware River. Unfortunately, I will not be attending that this evening, as I will be speaking at a social/business networking meeting in Long Branch NJ. The topic: ROCK ON RADIO and Grass Roots Marketing. Should be interesting; as I've never done this before.

Friday night at the "LATIN BEAN and BISTRO COFFEE HOUSE located on Farnsworth Ave. in Bordentown NJ....KIM YARSON and JO WYMER will be entertaining the masses. I'm going to do my best to make this gig, and so should all of you! Two VERY talented musicians!

This event is being held at BREWSTER'S BAR and BOWLING ALLEY located on Main St. in Bradley Beach. Event begins at 3pm and the music starts at 5pm. Myself and local Hamilton Township resident/AGENCY bassist MIKE THOMPSON will be two of KIM YARSON's "VOLUNTEERS" as we'll be providing the rhythm section for her at this event. http://www.torchystroubadours.org/ .

Busy week for sure....Hopefully, I'll see some of you at one or all of these shows. ROCK ON!

Jammin' for JuJu

This Sunday 6/13 beginning at 2pm; my friend KIM YARSON is hosting a fundraiser at IT'S A GRIND COFFEE HOUSE on Schalk's Crossing Road in Plainsboro NJ. This event is called "Jammin' For Juju" and is being held to raise money and awareness to help fight Mitochondrial Dx.

"Juju" a very young child and friend of Yarson's, has been afflicted with this condition which strikes at the neuro-muscular system. Her and her family need our help as the treatment for this disease is very costly.

Some of the performers that Kim has assembled for this cause, and who are graciously donating their time are as follows:

2-3pm - KIM YARSON & VOLUNTEERS

3pm - JIM GAVEN

3:45pm - JO WYMER

4:30pm - CJ BARNA

5pm - BARBARA HARLEY & AL LIND

IT'S A GRIND COFFEE HOUSE is full of great tasting coffee and sweet treats to help soothe, relax, or uplift your spirits. If the weather holds; this event will take place outside, if not please come on out and enjoy the atmosphere on the inside and help out this great cause. I myself will be participating in this worthwhile event...so I hope to see you there!

Now as a side note, I'd like to mention two shows that I was a part of earlier this week. Tuesday evening, I made my percussion debut with JO WYMER at JULIA'S RESTAURANT located at 91 1st. Ave. in Atlantic Highlands NJ. JO was the featured artist at the Atlantic Highlands Arts Council's "2NITE" series. The second Tuesday of every month, they host this great open mic. at Julia's. I was overwhelmed by the support that the community showed for this event. Even though it was a Tuesday evening, the venue was packed full of original music performers and enthusiasts. Along with JO WYMER, I had the honor of meeting, as well as sharing the stage with some of the areas finest musicians and artists. I performed with the likes of POPPA JOHN BUG, BOB HEART, AL-VIS, JERRY PASSION and a recent ROCK ON RADIO guest....CAROL BARBIERI. Being surrounded by, and asked to accompany such talent definitely forced me to bring my "A" game to the table. Many or most of these same amazing artists can also be found on Monday evenings at VAL'S TAVERN in Rumson NJ as CAROL BARBIERI and COOK SMITH host an open mic. there as well.

Wednesday evening, I accompanied ROCK ON RADIO alumni ASTRONAUT JONES and this Sunday's guest DALE LAKATA, as they performed at the "Singer/Songwriter Acoustic Showcase" at Katmandu. Always a pleasure to jam with these two fine artist, the evening went very smooth as LANCE REICHERT put on yet another great showcase. Lance even joined SHAUN RUYMEN on stage during his set and added some very tasteful lead guitar to RUYMEN'S always fantastic music.

So, if possible, please come on out this Sunday to support a great cause as well as original artists/music....and as always....ROCK ON!
