October 2011

Rock and Roll Diary

October was another full month of musical adventures including some fun Halloween shows.

Damiens' Pub

  The first show in October was at Damien's in Hanson Mass.

Always fun times at Damien's.  Best pizza and coldest beer in town along with live music.

More pics from the October show at Damien's are online here.  

More dates booked at Damien's!

The Chateau

I played two Thursday night shows at Nocera's in Stoughton during October. Nocera's is now known as The Chateau. 

The place has been renovated and has all kinds of rooms for having parties and functions.  Folks who have come to shows there love the food.  

They have a great selection of Italian food.

More pictures from the evenings are online here and here.

More shows booked at The Chateau!

McGuiggan's Pub

I played a fun show at McGuiggan's Pub in October.

McGuiggan's is a nice Irish pub in Whitman Mass.

More pics from the show at McGuiggan's Pub are online here.  More dates booked at McGuiggan's Pub.

Hajjar's

I played three "Sunday Funday" shows at Hajjar's in Weymouth in October.  Normally I play every 2nd and 4th Sunday but I picked up an extra show this month.

We have been having a lot of fun on these Sunday evenings.

One night we got a conga line going and everyone in the place got in the line including the bartender and me (because I had sampled the song to repeat so I could join the line).  It was one of the funniest show moments ever.

Halloween weekend some folks were in the holiday spirit.

One of the shows my friend Chrissy White made a guest appearance.

More pics from the Hajjar's shows are here show 1,  show 2, show 3,   

JP Greer's

Played a fun show at JP Greer's in October.  JP Greer's is a neighborhood bar with a full menu.  

It is on Park Ave in Weymouth.  I am playing there Thanksgiving Eve.  Pics from the night at JP Greer's are here.

The Fat Cactus

Played a fun night at The Fat Cactus in Randolph and folks were already getting into the Halloween spirit.

I will be playing next Cinco De Mayo at The Fat Cactus along with other shows there. 

It's a cool venue.

More pics from The Fat Cactus are here.

Tinker's is a nice Irish place in Norwell Mass.

Wedding Newport RI

I played for a very nice wedding in Newport RI in October.

I played for the ceremony and short cocktail hour along with my friend Dean who played mandolin.  The ceremony was in a farm of Christmas trees and was a Celtic ceremony.

I played two fun Halloween weekend shows in October!

Chubby's Bar and Grill

The first was at Chubby's Bar and Grill in North Providence.  Chubby's is a very cool bar.  

There were prizes for best costume.

I went as a super hero.

I have met some really nice folks at Chubbys.  Lots of more shows booked at Chubby's!  More pics from the evening are here.

September 2011

Rock and Roll Diary

September was a full month of music and good times.  There were lots of fun shows, celebrations, and I played a new venue in September.  On the map the music rang out from North Providence, Randolph, Weymouth, Fall River, Braintree, Avon, and Stoughton.

The first show of the month was at Nocera's in Stoughton.

It was a fun Thursday evening show.  Nocera's is part of The Chateau family of restaurants.  More pics from that night available here.

I had the honor to play from a celebration of my friend Kim's birthday in September at Slapshotz in Avon Mass!

I actually met Kin at this location when I played there and it was called Scofield's.  The new owner has a done a great job making this a nice sports bar.  More pics from the evening are available here.

Chubby's Bar in North Providence is a great place to hang out and have a drink and a bite to eat while listening to live music.  I ad a nice gig at Chubby's in September.

More pics from the evening are available here.  I will be playing at a Halloween party at Chubby's on Friday October 28th.  Should be a blast.

KC's Pub in Weymouth is a place I play regularly.  It is on RT 53 in Weymouth. Had a fun night at KC's in Weymouth.

My friend Cheryl got up and sang a couple great songs.  She was out that night with her friends. Cheryl is in a popular band called Say What.  I was honored that she chose my gig to come to on a night that she wasn't performing herself.  If you get a chance to see her band do it!

I really love playing KC's.  I just updated my schedule and I am booked once a month there from here to the end of 2012.  More pics from that night are available here.

One of the places I have been playing the longest is St John's Athletic Club in Fall River, Mass.

I have met some great folks there over the years.  One fun part of the gig is I get to watch games of pool played while I play.  :-)

Some more pics from St John's Athletic Club in September are available here.

I had a great gig at The Fat Catcus in Randolph in September.

It was a really fun night playing on the patio basically at the foot of the blue hills. :-)

More pics from that night are here.

Sunday is funday at Hajjar's in Weymouth Mass.

I was playing one Sunday a month at Hajjar's in Weymouth but starting in October I am playing every 2nd and 4th Sunday at Hajjar's.

More pics available here.

I played for the first time at Four Square in September.  Four Square is in Braintree right on the line in Weymouth Landing.

It was a fun night.

Stay tuned hoping to book some shows there in 2012.  More pics from that night are available here.

The last show of the month was at JP Greer's in Weymouth Mass.

I have played a bunch of shows at JP Greer's this year.

It's great to see people having fun at a show.

More pics from the night are available here.

Next show at JP Greer's is the night before Thanksgiving.

All in all September was a great month.  Music makes life better.
