After a recent trip to tampa bay I have been touched by the welcome we had at the venue,s over there. I found a wealth of talented people all seasoned musicians, but they all made us feel very
welcome at all the venues.
We have Pug Baker a world class drummer and all round mr nice guy. www.myspace.com/Pugbaker
Lee Pons a graduate Keyboard player/singer solo artist:Boogie Blues,Funk,R&B,Classic rock / jam night arranger, and resident at mahuffers www.myspace.com/leethal66
Mahuffers bar well what can i say you need to check this bar out. If i could bring a bar home, this would be it and all the people as well. If you ever get to tampa Bay and you don't check it out then you have missed out. And while you are there say hello to mikey and family. You could be there a long time......If any of you guys read this... many thanks for looking after us !
A good site to check out tampa bay seen is here! www.surfboardrecords.com

Another great blues man to check out www.walkersmithgroup.com he and lee pons
are of on a road trip to Memphis to play/drink/meet new friends and enter a contest or two.. (Good Luck)

And before i forget thanks go to Jeff Cinotti for lending his gear at the tiki bar who plays with Kent Pearson and the roadhouse rockers. We wish we could be there with you guys. Keep it live!
So what is so nice is the sound is clear and punchy and the age group is right across the board..
