Starting Thursday....

There are many choices for Indie/original music artists this weekend.

Beginning tomorrow evening 9/16; three fabulous singer/songwriters will be appearing together on the same stage. JO WYMER, KIM YARSON, and SANDY ZIO will be performing from 7-9pm at the Main St. Gazebo in Freehold NJ. The Gazebo is located between Federici's and the Metropolitan restaurants. I will be providing background percussion on this evening for these extremely talented artists.

Now, for our Pa. residents and those who want to take a road trip; two great solo artists will be performing on Friday 9/17. SHELI AARDEN and KEITH MONACCHIO will be appearing at the Milkboy Acoustic Cafe located at 824 W. Lancaster Ave. in Bryn Mawr from 7:30-10pm. These two acoustic favorites are always a crowd pleaser.

Also on Friday from 7-10pm, JO WYMER & THE ITTY BITTY BAND (of which I am a part) will be back at The Sand Witch on the boardwalk in Asbury Park NJ. Always a fun night, the boardwalk is new and improved and just waiting for you! The Sand Witch is located in-between The Stone Pony and the Wonder Bar on Ocean Ave. next to the mini-golf.

If neither of these events are for you, how about this? KIM YARSON will be the hostess at a house concert featuring her music and that of KELLY CARVIN, RUSSELL NORKEVICH, and JIM GAVEN. To make a reservation and/or purchase tickets, contact Kim at kyarson@comcast.net . This is a BYOB affair with light refreshments provided.

Saturday 9/18 from 10pm-1:30am, MIKE MATISA & DINO COLOROCCO will be doing originals and cover tunes at Bill's Olde Tavern located at 2694 Nottingham Way in Mercerville NJ. I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with these fine musicians who have a great following and a love of performing..... this, along with $2. pint and $3. regular Stoli specials guarantees a great night!

I will be playing emergency fill in for my new friends THE ITCH in Colts Neck NJ on Saturday at 4pm at the Colts Neck Rock Fest. This event begins at noon and is being held in Bucks Mill Park located on Bucks Mill Rd. in Colts Neck NJ. For more information see http://www.sheepherders.com/

Sunday 9/19, KIM YARSON is back at it along with BARBARA HURLEY and AL LIND at the Ewing Township Library in Ewing NJ. Concluding her weekend, these three songwriters will be performing "In The Round" from 2-4pm. To obtain more information or reserve a seat for this event, please call (609) 882-3130.

I am very flattered to tell all of you that my good buddy MIKE MATISA and new friend PAPPA CARL, have asked me to emcee the upcoming JAM FOR LIFE being held on Sunday 10/3 at KATMANDU in Trenton NJ. MATISA will be handling the inside stage, and I will be doing the honors on the outside stage on the deck. The JAM FOR LIFE raises monies and awareness for organ donations and transplants. I will also be performing with JO WYMER & THE ITTY BITTY BAND as well as along with KIM YARSON & THE VOLUNTEERS and possibly some others.

Tune into ROCK ON RADIO at 10pm est. on Sunday 9/19 as my guest is Baltimore Md. resident JASON AGER. AGER is making his second appearance on my program and this time he's armed with his new CD "Lunchdate."

Turn on...Tune in...and as always....ROCK ON!
