X-Session, Unfiltered

Labor Day weekend is upon us and with it we have a Saturday afternoon, September 5,  date at Claudio’s, 111 Main Street, Greenport. We get started at 1:30 and play until 5:30.

September’s schedule is heavily slanted towards private parties, and in fact there are only two public dates after the aforementioned Claudio’s date.  Those would be a Friday, Septemebr 18 date at Hudson & McCoy, 340 Woodcleft Avenue, Freeport from 7 PM until 11 and a return to Claudio’s on Sunday afternoon, September 20, for Greenport’s Maritime Festival.

And another reminder that we’ll be in a concert setting at the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center on Friday night, October 23, when we play a “Tribute To ’70’s Rock”  We’re the only band that night, so we should be able to stretch out a bit and perhaps play a few tunes from the ’70’s that we’ve never done before.  You can purchase tickets either in person at the DHPAC box office or by simply clicking here.

Have a safe holiday weekend.

This Saturday evening, August 22, at 6:30 PM we’ll be at Tide Runners, 7 North Road, Hampton Bays. This is a full-service restaurant and bar with seating both indoors and out, located right on Shinnecock Canal.

The next afternoon,  Sunday August 23 at 1 PM, we’ll perform the National Anthem at Citifield prior to the Mets-Phillies game, the seventh consecutive year we’ve been so honored. In addition, we’re singing God Bless America during the seventh inning stretch.

Immediately after, we head down to East Rockaway for a Sunday evening gig at The Fishery 1 Main St., East Rockaway. We get started there at 6:30 PM.

We’re hopeful of having Joe back with us by the weekend, but as of this writing we’re still not sure.

Have a great week, folks.

We have yet another date this Sunday, August 16, at Claudio’s, 111 Main Street, Greenport – getting underway at 2 PM and playing until 6. And while we certainly hope to have Joe back with us by then, there’s a possibility that we’ll be playing as a trio there the same as we did this past weekend.

On Saturday August 22, we’ll be at Tide Runners, 7 North Rd., Hampton Bays from 6:30 until 9:30 and then the following afternoon, Sunday August 23, we make our debut appearance at Citifield in Flushing, singing the National Anthem prior to the Mets-Phillies game at 1:10 PM. This marks the seventh-consecutive year we’ve been so honored, and of course our first at the new stadium.  In addition to the Anthem, we’ll also perform “God Bless America” during the seventh-inning stretch.

And immediately after that seventh inning stretch, we’ll hi-tail it out of there and drive down to the south shore to play that evening at The Fishery, 1 Main St., East Rockaway. We’ll get started about 6:30 and play ’til about 10:30, after which we go home and get a well-deserved good night’s sleep!

Finally, I’d like to mention that we will be performing in a concert setting at Five Towns College in Dix Hills on Friday, October 23rd. Yes, I know it’s a few months away but I notice a lot of the center-section tickets have already been sold so it might not be a bad idea to purchase now if you plan on attending.  The show, a tribute to ’70’s classic rock,  will  begin at 7:30.  Tickets are 20 dollars apiece.  To purchase seats go to the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center’s ticketing portal, which can be reached by clicking on the link in this sentence. 

Enjoy the week, I’ll speak with you soon.

Thanks to everybody who came down to the Beach last Saturday, we’re just sorry that the one short intermission didn’t allow us to spend more time with some of you.

This weekend the bodies of water change – from the Atlantic Ocean to Peconic Bay and Woodcleft Canal – as we play at Claudio’s, 111 Main Street, Greenport on Saturday (yes, Saturday) afternoon August 8 at 2 PM and then return on Sunday evening to Hudson & McCoy, 340 Woodcleft Avenue, Freeport from 6 PM until 10.

Come on down and witness my first gigs as a fifty-year old. I hope I’ll be able to get up on the stage without help!

Have a great week,

Pat
