Vero Beach Live

Thursday, the morning after a great evening of music, singers and songs. I am 'awash' in music this morning after last nights 14th Avenue Steak House "Dance Party" with Kent Taylor Brown. 

Where to start? Well, of course there was the inimitable Jeff Haley, lead vocals, and the rock solid Peter Armfield on bass, and suddenly Kent calls up Marschall Van Doren to get our juices flowing with his rousing keyboard. Dark glasses and all, Marschall regaled us with Ray Charle's, "What'd I say?"  

The party is in full swing as Kent takes up the guitar, and, after some gentle persuasion, Annie of Annie and Company blows us all away with her "Cheatin' Heart" and following that, "Old Time Rock and Roll!"  Annie is an adorable blonde of small stature but when she belts out those tunes you just have to jump up and get into it on the dance floor.

As if that weren't enough, another female vocalist, Lauren Santon kept up the pace with "Sway," and then, a medley of rock starting with "Rockin' Robin." Lovely new voice at the 14th Ave "Dance Party!" 

Kent was in his element on guitar and sax and Marschal rocked the keyboards as the floor filled up with enthusiastic dancers. Local beauty and entrepreneur, Trish of 'Blondies Chic Boutique' on the beach  was one of those out there shakin' it up. 
And then, Captain Country (Mike) came in just in time to do a Johnny Cash song and the evening was complete. 

Thanks to owner, Phyllis, for hosting a memorable evening and - if the fates allow -  there will many more to come! 

Whew! What's up for Thursday? 

One crowd pleaser I know about is Johnny Nick playing at the American Bar and Grill from 6 to 9 pm (and later.)  This venue is located at Vista Royale, off US 1.
