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.

Tuesday was ROCK ON RADIO invades Waterfront Park! Myself, BC, Engineer ART and my sponsor from Canada Dry... O'G, took in a Trenton Thunder baseball game while relaxing in the WIFI luxury suite. I wish to thank station manager Aaron and owner John Forsythe for providing us with a great night!
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!
Saturday I shall be in Bradley Beach NJ at a TORCHY'S TROUBADOURS event which benefits TORCHY BLAINE and the TURN THE CORNER LYME DISEASE FOUNDATION. 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!
