Birdy Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 we got a BLUESFEST! woooo! it's early i know.. i'm just excited somebody other than the jeff healey band is coming to town and that certain good local bands are playing locally! august 26th tecumseh park River Jam Bluesfest Mel Brown and the Homewreckers Superfly (you may remember them from the fundraiser) Tom Lockwood Blues Band Please chathamites or interested non-chathamites SUPPORT THIS! Tix are at tony's one stop music shop, william st cafe, & frank's music. Should be halfways decent. Beats listening to 'Lady in Red' being belted out from the bandstand.. that's for sure.

Chewie Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 chatham had a blues and a jazzfest years ago in the park....people used to boat down the river and the park would be packed...good times but they cancelled it b/c of complaints from neightbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 how much are tix?and hopefully they would be getting some bigger names to play too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdy Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 $20.. i guess there is a BBQ too.i doubt the lineup will change.. it's only a one night deal in the park starting at 7 i think... but i'm ok with it. i'm glad we're showcasing local talent, cuz there's a lot of it around that gets lost in the wave of people who like the jerseys/GTs scene.i'm pretty sure there's some kind of bylaw in place now that all goings-on in the park have to be shut down by 11 or 12 or something like that. too bad the parkview wasn't still around for overflow. if metrolounge and elephants nest went with the blues theme that would be great and would definitely make it more "festy".

Schwa. Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 last time i saw jeff healy at the festival of nations he was SHITFACED. his roadie kept bringing out drinks and would run out and keep healy from walking toward the edge of the stage when he would get up and do his crazy dance. the funniest thing was some skiddy girl in the front row (on her boyfriends shoulders) flashed her junk at him.Max Webster played the next night too, that rocked.

DevO Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Mel Brown, not too shabby! I used to see him every week at Wally's in Guelph.. That was around 1999-2000 and he was in rough shape back then. Its nice to know that he is still kicking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
