The choice of entertainment in Sarasota / Bradenton was overwhelming last night. Where to go, what to do….yikes. Don Mckeon’s “Go Tonight” website had a huge listing of shows last night. I mapped out a plan, mapped it out again and made my decision. Last night I came out to support 2 really great bands […]

I missed Katt Graeber’s CD Release Party a couple of weeks ago at Ocean Blues. It’s hard to be everywhere in a town that has so much entertainment going on every night. I heard that Lady Katt and the Howlin’ Doggs put on quite a show. I did get a chance to see Katt and […]

I am getting ready to celebrate one of my favorite holidays: Grandparents Day! Yes, it really is a holiday. In fact, President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Although it is called Grandparents Day, the originator Marian McQuade wanted to designate a day for families to visit their elderly relatives. Therefore, I think […]

I did the Wave last night! No, not standing and raising my arms at a sporting event. I did a show along with guitar genius Jami Gee, drummer Eddie James Liashek, and Scott Stevenson on bass at The Wave Grill at Ramada Venice Resort Hotel. Everything about last night was extraordinary. Therefore, I have to share it with all of you. First of all, the hotel itself is a work of art right down to the bathroom and very elegant. When you walk in the front door you immediately feel like you have stepped into a tropical resort.

Steve Arvey is a household name in many parts of the country and overseas, as well. Steve Arvey isn’t your everyday musician. He’s a bit like an eccentric genius, and you can see the “smoke” coming out of his ears when he’s deep in thought. He’s like the Albert Einstein of the music scene all over Florida, and in his home town of Chicago, and Steve performs seven days a week, almost all the time. His fingers are in an array of pies every day. He’s a man with a big heart, and lends his talents to fundraising for so many causes. When you need someone to really do the job, rally folks together, and raise money, Steve is incredible.

When I was first approached about contributing some articles to The Sarasota Post about my experiences as a young musician in Sarasota I thought, cool! Then, I quickly realized I would actually have to write which is not my idea of fun unless it’s song lyrics. After all, I do plenty of writing for school so I couldn’t think of any reason I would agree to waste my free time writing. My mind was completely changed after watching Lauren Mitchell perform.
