Can i just say, wow!? The show on Wednesday night with Pat McGee Band and Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers was probably one of, if not the best, show I've ever played! It was an all around great night and such a good time. All the guys from both bands were cool as hell, especially Pat and Stephen, who i was able to talk to both at length on just about everything. The highlight of the night (besides playing a great set) was being coerced on stage durring PMB's set along with SK and the rest of the Sixers to sing along with the cover of "Stuck in the Middle with You". Overwhelmed with the thought of sitting in on a song with musicians I really look up to, I went out on stage sharing a mic with SK, and probably looked like the biggest dork on the stage...not to mention completely blanking out on all the words of the song with the exception of the refrain. (as seen here)
Stephen gave me a shaker to play with, and amidst all the stuffed animals that were flying through the air, it was just an all out good time. Pat McGee's set was as usual anytime i see them....slammin' awesome! The SK6ERS killed it, and I know picked up a ton of new fans at this show and I can imagine, throughout their tour with PMB.
The House of Blues, Cleveland is definitely my favorite venue I have ever played. If you haven't been there yet....go. The food is killer. Everytime I play there the staff and crew there are all such great people and are so helpful and courteous. A big thanks to Maggie Brown @ the HOB who has been so great to work with and puts up with me. Also a huge thanks to all of the Pat McGee Band and SK6ERS for letting me be a part of that night and for being some of the coolest guys i've worked with...as well as big thanks to Nicole and Pete over at AGI.
I hope that everyone who came out had a blast and as much fun as we did. Thanks for all the support and I'll hopefully be back there again real soon. Check the regular website for some great photos that will be posted soon from the show. Take care all.....
