X-Session Weekly Update

On Thursday July 4th, X-Session will celebrate the nation’s birthday at Claudio’s, 111 Main St., Greenport from 2 PM until 6. Then we head west in a big way and play the following evening, Friday July 5th, at The Fishery, 1 Main St., East Rockaway at 7 PM.

And don’t forget that Eddie and I will be playing some of our original tunes–penned individually, we’ve never collaborated as of yet–in an acoustic, songwriters-in-the-round type setting on Monday evening, July 1st, at Big Daddy’s, 1 Park La., Massapequa. The hosts of the program, Steve Farella and Pete Colombo, are an accomplished songwriting team that goes by the moniker 42nd and Nelson.  Steve and Pete are old friends of Eddie and I and will be playing many of their own compositions also. Then an acoustic open mic commences immediately afterwards. The whole program gets underway at 7:30 PM.

No Greek Delight for me this week as I’ll be in Greenport on Thursday, I’ll see you back there on July 11th.

Have a happy and safe holiday!

Pat

X-Session will be spending the Independence Day holiday at Claudio’s, 111 Main St., Greenport, on Thursday July 4th, at 2 PM. The next evening, Friday July 5th, we return to the “stronger than the storm” Fishery, 1 Main St., East Rockaway at 7 PM.

And we’ll see you Sun & Surf members at Saturday, June 29th’s opening night and we’re looking forward to playing at the Windsor Park pool this Sunday, June 30th. Alas, both gigs are “members only” (unless you want a job schlepping amplifiers!).

On Monday, July 1st, Eddie and I are going to participate in a songwriter’s night at Big Daddy’s Restaurant, 1 Park La., Massapequa. With acoustic guitars on our laps, Ed, myself, and our good friends Pete Colombo and Steve Farella will take turns playing some original tunes “Nashville style,” and an original acoustic open mic follows immediately after. This gets started at about 7:30.

As always, with the obvious exception of July 4th (see above), I’m playing and singing solo at Greek Delight, 2601 Merrick Rd., Bellmore on Thursdays at 6:30 PM.

Have a good week. Stay cool!

Pat

On Friday June 14th X-Session plays our final “Nappy” Hour until Fall at Smithtown’s Napper Tandy’s, 15 E Main St. I believe we’re in the new room and on the big stage for this one. We get underway at about 7:30.

The remaining summer dates should be available on the website sometime this week, but until then just a “heads up” that we have a date at the rebuilt Fishery in East Rockaway on Friday July 5th, a midsummer’s eve date at Black & Blue in Huntington on July 13th, and a debut at Port Jazz in Port Jefferson on Friday July 19th. And finally, we’re back at Claudio’s on Thursday July 4th and Sunday July 21st at 2 PM.

Have a great week,

Pat
