Weekly Update
Although it seems as though Auld Lang Syne is still ringing in my ears it’s already May and therefore time to finish up the Happy Hour season at Napper Tandy’s. We have a pair of them over the next two Fridays beginning with a date at Napper Tandy’s, 275 RT 25A, Miller Place, this Friday May 8. A week later, the 15th, we’ll be at Napper Tandy’s, 15 E. Main Street, Smithtown. Both nights we begin sometime between 7 and 7:30 and finish about four hours after. As mentioned these will be our last dates there until the Fall.
On Saturday, May 9, we’ll be at Matty T’s Roadhouse, 356 Commack Road, Deer Park. Yes Matty’s is a country bar and no, we’re not a country band but our stuff seems to go over well with the line dancers and there’s plenty of room to sit and listen if you like. I highly recommend Matty’s if you’ve never been there — the regulars are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and I love the acoustics and the stage there. We play from 10 until 2 and they do charge an 8 dollar cover but hey, we’re worth at least half that, right?
And I see the Memorial Day weekend is on the horizon and with it comes our first date of the season at Claudio’s, 111 Main Street, Greenport. On Saturday May 23, we’ll be on the outdoor deck from 1:30 until 5:30. It’s become like a “home away from home” there for us each summer.
Finally, I’d like to mention for all you Jazz aficionados out there that my friend Bob Lepley and his trio host a Jazz open mic each and every Monday evening at The Fox Hollow Country Club from 8 PM until 11. The Fox Hollow is located at 7725 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury. You can either go for dinner — it’s served from 5 until 10 PM — or just go for drinks and enjoy the music or, of course, bring your instrument and request to sit in.
Thanks to everybody who came out to Black & Blue this past Saturday, especially on such short notice. We most certainly appreciate it. I’ll speak to you next week, have a good one.
