Who Did You Just See Live?

[Touchofevil]

My friend and fellow bandmate Billy Stokes had his CD release show at Alice Coopertown in Phoenix this weekend. He had a few friends sharing the stage with him. I don't have any photos yet but here is a brief write up I did on another website:

The CD release gig went very well.
Frank Marino, Marc Storace and Les Dudek all sent video messages of congratulations and support that were presented on screen before the show.

The line up for the first part of the show was:

Billy Stokes - Guitar
Jim Pavett - Drums
Richard Katz - Keys
Crystal Stark - Backing vocals (American Idol winner)
Bret Kaizer (MadameX) - Lead Vocals
Robby Lochner (Great White) - Guitar
Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot) - Bass

Later on Pat Travers came out and played the 2 songs he guested on the album then Carmine Appice came out and The last part of the show was a mix of covers from the various catalogs of their respective careers.

Pat Travers - Snortin' Whiskey, Makes No Difference, Boom Boom Out Go The Lights and Statesboro Blues.
Carmine Appice - Do You Think I'm Sexy (Carmine sang this one, they did it as a very sleazy rocked up number that had everybody laughing and dancing), Drum Solo, You Keep Me Hangin' On.
Rudy Sarzo - Come On Feel The Noise, Crazy Train, Mental Health

There was a crowd of a few hundred there and all in all the gig went very well. Everyone onstage seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

As for what comes next, only time will tell.

That is definitely a blast from my youth. Sounds like a lot of fun.

We are off to the London Tavern tonight where a band called The Rats are playing. Great musicians and great music from the era. It's going to be a really good rocking night.

Spent last weekend at the Rhythym Riot. The Doel Brothers, Rhythm Shakers, Vicky Tafoya, Ray Collins Hot Club, Cherry Casino & the Gamblers, Nico Duportal & the Rhythm Dudes, among others. Great weekend.

Last weekend we saw Willie Nelson and his family. Really good show.

Cheers!

After seeing their accoustic set back in May, our gang of friends saw The Trews loud and electric in London, Ontario. Latest single (trigger warning - this is a rock and roll song):

I've never seen them before and their next appearance around here isn't until April but I want to see Riders in the Sky. It's been a couple of years since we've seen anyone else live.

One of my favorite contemporary singer-songwriters, Richard Shindell, at a club in Beacon, NY. He played a typically great show.

George is fun. I first saw him in a little club in downtown Dayton when he had "Move it on Over" out. He did two gigs that night and we caught the second one.

I saw him around 2009-2010 at Sturgis. Looking forward to seeing him again.

Every year I see Big Bad Vodoo Daddy & the Brian Setzer Band around Christmas time. Awesome Shows.

It was really cool! Unfortunately, the band was an hour late (bus trouble, I guess), so I didn't stay for the whole thing as I had to go to work this morning!
