Johnny B as in back

26 June 2009 No Comment
head_johnny-bJohnny B. and The Gravediggers are back!!!! Well at least we hope so. After a slow start to the season it was looking as though one of the region’s favorite rockers may be forced to sit on the sidelines this Summer. “We’ve had five bars close in the last several months,” Johnny B said of the current economic climate. Though alcohol consumption in the state is at an all time high it seems that venues throughout the state, and the country, are heading for all time lows as far as sales and attendance. Recent closures have been devastating to the local scene. But have no fear JBTG fans. The trio heads back out onto the live circuit in this Fall to make appearances at some of their favorite haunts. On August 7th Johnny B returns to the Tumbleweed in Dayton. The venue had been closed for some time after a major fire earlier this year. September 26th and October 24th finds the band returning to Sprinboro, Ohio’s The Springs downtown. On October 10th the band makes an appearance at one of the most visited attractions in the tri-state-Land of Illusion. The Halloween themed amusement park draws amazing crowds throughout the Fall. On October 31st Johnny B. and The Gravediggers perform their annual Gravediggers Ball. Welcome back fellas, we can’t wait to see you again. Check out our new Gigline, enter your cellphone number, and we’ll text you all the cool upcoming dates or simply stop by our Gig Guide.

Johnny B. on MAMF

5 June 2009 No Comment
wp09_johnb1Johnny B. says that unfortunately the band wasn’t able to perform even two songs before the Gods unleashed the deluge that ended this year’s Main St. Art & Music Festival in Middletown last weekend. According to the Bster himself it seems that the band has a proverbial dark cloud hanging over them at every other outdoor gig. “It always seems to happen to us. We’re now averaging one out of every two live outdoor gigs that we’re rained out.” Well there’s always next year fella’s. Fans of Johnny B. and The gravediggers will be happy to know that there will be plenty of opportunities to see the band live in 2009 so tune into our Gig Guide for the band’s latest dates or subscribe to our newest feature, Gig Guide Text, to get up to the minute info and reminders via your cellphone.

Two stages needed to accommodate expanding festival

By
Staff Report

MIDDLETOWN — The Main Street Art and Music Festival will have so many musical acts, it will have two stages this year.
“We hope to offer something for everyone and while also exposing festival goers to something new” said Carla Davis, the entertainment chair for the festival, which will take place 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. May 30 in the area around Governor’s Square Park, at the intersection of Broad Street and Central Avenue.
The genres range from the Dixieland stylings of the Kettering Banjo Society to the Cajun-inspired Robin Lacy & DeZydeco to the R&B sounds of the Blue Birds.
In addition to these regional acts, the lineup also includes local favorites like Jimmy Rogers and Johnny B & the Gravediggers.
“The decision to have two stages in the Governor’s Square Park will give us the opportunity to bring in more bands for the day,” said Sue Rogers, the festival’s general chair.
There is also an additional stage in the expanded children’s area that will offer several acts geared toward the younger crowd. There will be as many as 16 different performances throughout the day.

MIDDLETOWN — Crowds, vendors, musicians and artists scrambled to outrun high winds and rains as a severe thunderstorm cut short the Main Street Art & Music Festival Saturday, May 30.
The festival was bigger than ever this year, with nearly 10 hours of sunny weather and plenty of acts and activities before the storm whipped through the Central Avenue and Broad Street area just before 9 p.m. in downtown Middletown.
“I think it’s going great,” said Sue Rogers, president of the Art Central Foundation, earlier in the day. “The crowd keeps building and building. We’ve had just incredible bands. I’m very pleased.”
Jamaiica Hurston got a case of rhythm as the 9-year-old and others shook and struck instruments in a parade around the festival following a short lesson from the Cincinnati Samba School before entertaining the crowd with a march around the festival.
“It was fun because you got to do a certain beat,” said the Fairfield girl who had a blue and green butterfly painted on her face. “I liked how they practiced it and they kept on repeating it until we finally got it.”
That parade was just one act at the festival, which filled the streets with people enjoying songs, food, jewelry, wooden toys, snow cones, miniature golf, and 8-year-old Jaden Hobb’s personal favorite: a “really cool” big bouncy castle.
“I think it’s very diverse. Music, entertainment, it’s great,” said festival-goer Nate McKinney.
“It’s what makes Middletown, brings Middletown together,” McKinney said.

wp09_jbrunnerA large thunderstorm ended an afternoon, and early evening, music and arts festival in Middletown over the weekend but not before some of ADR’s own delivered great sets of music. The Main St. Art & Music Festival, held each year in Middletown, presented a roster of fine art and music for visitors but was cut short just after Johnny B. and The Gravediggers finished their set by a storm that blew through the grounds and set off tornado warning sirens throughout the city on Saturday. Was it mother nature or the Gods of Thunder?????? ......aka Johnny B and the Gravediggers. The deluge sent fair goers scurrying for their cars and where ever else they could find shelter from the storm. Amongst the afternoons entertainment were Johnny B. and The Gravediggers and pianist Jimmy D. Rogers, both of whom reside on the Alpha Dawg label. This is the second year in a row that the event has battled Mother Nature. Last year’s fest was a complete washout in the afternoon but skies cleared just before ADR’s Uncle Daddy and The Family Secret performed in the evening. This year crowds were able to watch the festival under sunny skies throughout the afternoon but rain interrupted the finale at roughly 8:30 in the evening.

JB on Upright?





..

Jay Brunner, of Johnny B. fame, absolutely rocked sessions for UDFS' upcoming release "Hard Times". Rumor has it that JB popped into the studio earlier this week to add upright bass tracks on the new effort and to record new track "Lucky To Be Alive".
