Weekly Update
We have a pair of public dates this weekend beginning with a return to JC’s Restaurant, 2 Country Club Dr., Manorville on the grounds of the bucolic Pine Hills Country Club. We’ll be there on Friday night, June 13, from 9 PM until midnight — triscadecaphobiacs be damned.
After a private date on Saturday, we’ll take what’s left of our voices out to Greenport to play a Father’s Day matinee on Sunday the 15th at Claudio’s. As always, we’ll be playing on the outdoor deck at 111 Main St from 2 PM until 6.
The following weekend we debut at a new locale, The Upper Deck at Papa Joe’s Shrimp Factory (henceforth mercifully shortened to The Upper Deck). We’re playing not one but two dates on consecutive afternoons, Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22, from 2 PM until 6. A third date may yet be added if the advance ticket sales warrant it (I’m only kidding, I just always wanted to write that!). OK, getting back to reality, both gigs are rain or shine as there is the ability to cover the deck if the weather warrants it, and as I understand it the place affords a fine view of the Port Jeff harbor. Should be interesting. The Upper Deck is located at 111 West Broadway in Port Jeff, the link above is to the restaurant’s website.
And lastly, if you missed Eddie’s a capella version of the Beatles’ “Because” last Friday on WHPC you can hear it again this Friday as host Rob Leonard will be playing a retrospective of Beatle covers by many local acts. Ed’s song will be played between 8 and 9 PM, and our own young buck Joe Dejesu will have his version of Paul McCartney’s “Every Night” aired at 10 PM. Of course you’ll be hanging out with us at JC’s at that time so you won’t be able to hear it but, take my word for it, it’s a great version. The show is called “Beatlesongs” and it’s on WHPC, 90.3 FM, between 8 PM and 11.
So that’s it for another week. Happy Father’s Day to all us Dads. See you soon.
