Last week, Don Mckeon the main man at GoTonight.com wanted to know if I was going to the Blue Rooster on Friday night to see Mr. Sipp and his band. It wasn’t in my plans, but when Don gives you a band recommendation….you listen!
Well, I wasn’t disappointed. From the moment the music started at the dot of 8pm Mr. Sipp and his pals were rocking the Rooster with an awesome blend of soul, blues and a bit of rock.
The music was nonstop….no dead air with this band. We danced, we sang, we clapped and had so much fun. I can’t wait for Mr. Sipp to come back to the Blue Rooster. Oh, we can’t forget to say thank you to the wonderful staff at this fabulous music venue. Manager, Barbara Hopkins is the best of the best. The staff is so friendly…..they can’t do enough for you. And thanks to Bill Cornelius for working so hard to bring live music to our town. www.blueroostersrq.com
