Adam and Alan Gross (The Blues Doctors) will be preforming at the Apollo Maennerchor in Sharon PA on the 26th of June. This is a very nice venue with excellent German beer. Major hotels are near by. The show starts at 8:00. Membership not required. See you there...Goose

BN, are you sure that membership isn't required? I somehow thought that it was--like a $10 fee.
Anyway, yes, we'll be there, and we are smoking hot after playing for four hours on Saturday at the Blue Front Cafe in Bentonia, MS during the blues festival. We showed up at 12:30 and Duck Holmes, the moment he saw us, said, "I was trying to get in touch with you. Please get up and play right now. This guy has been on long enough." There was some guy playing guitar and percussion and a little rack harp. He told the crowd he'd been playing harp for only 18 months. So we played a long set, then backed up some 9 year old kid from the Delta--Duck's grand-nephew. He liked what we did, so he asked us to drag our stuff onto the big stage next door and help him make his big-stage debut. I was playing foot drums and a little harp while the kid played "Hideaway." Not an easy song to drum! Lots of tempo shifts. But it worked. Then we played long set inside. I remember having breakfast at home at 9, driving 156 miles, setting up and playing, drinking a number of beers and some bourbon, then looking up and realizing that it was 5 PM and I hadn't had lunch.
So we're ready for you guys up in PA.

Membership is 10 bucks but all PA clubs are open to the public when there is entertainment. Non members must sign in. No biggy...Goose

Damn, I REALLY wanted to go to this, and was fully prepared to make the 3 hour round-trip up from Pittsburgh. Alas, my wife's work has organized a group trip to Kennywood this Thursday evening, and, as we are moving back to AZ the first week of July, it's also a sort of "goodbye" party for her. If I missed that, I'd be living the blues instead of merely playing them. Hope to hear about the show from you guys though!!!

I'll be slaving away that day :( not really though I will be working :) Having Icemans recommendation is not to be taken lightly - I imagine It is going to be a very fun and energetic night of music, "harp music" to boot!!!
