Po' Boys Brass Band at Hi Fidelity was great!

Take four trombones, one sousaphone, a guitar and drums; mix them together, and you get some amazing, monster trombone sound. Well, actually you get Po' Boys Brass Band, and they are amazing! It's rock, funk, blues--electric trombone???--and always a powerhouse sound.

Check them out on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/poboysbrassband and check them out live at a gig. You'll love it.

On another note, next Saturday, the 27th, be at Starry Nights Cafe for the Bill Welch Band. It's a nice, intimate setting to hear some beautiful music played with heart and soul. From 8 - 11, come enjoy the tunes, coffee, wine, and yummy food--especially the chocolate chip cookies!

October 3rd at the Landing in Fairport--come out and hear five hugely talented musicians--Bill Tiberio, Joe Chiappone, Phil Lake, Geoff Smith and Scott Bradley playing their kind of jazz. The Landing is not known for its jazz shows--The New Bill Tiberio Band will show them what they've been missing. Let's be there in big numbers to show them some love and support.

Yours in music,
Tracy

Saturday Night at Abilene

Abilene Bar and Lounge on Liberty Pole Way is a place that I have been wanting to try out for a while! I loved it! Here's the link: http://www.abilenebarandlounge.com/Home.html

It was slammin' on a Saturday night. In Rochester!!! That's a big deal as far as I'm concerned. Carol and the Impalas were playing--Alex Cestra was on guitar. They sounded good. It was a little country for me; but I WAS in a place called Abilene, after all!

So I had a delicious chocolate martini, and then later I had part of a straight-up Tito's Handmade Vodka which I had been wanting to try and oh, so very smooooooooth. http://www.titos-vodka.com/titos.html

Abilene . . . I can't wait to come back. You need to have Hot Sweets play at your place, for sure!

yours in music,
