Off to a good start this morning listening to the sounds of Stoney and the House Rockers, on their new CD "Showtime." The first tune, "Down On the Bayou" stirs it up right away and I find myself dancing around the kitchen.
These guys (and Stoney's wife, Elena, who also plays the harmonica) gave us a great show last night at Shuckdaddy's on 14th. They were going strong when I slid into a booth at about 10 pm, but it was almost impossible to sit still when this band was rockin' the blues.
This is a 'big' sound: big blusey voices, absolutely fabulous harmonica (Stoney has won championships), and I really, really enjoyed Rick Fincke on lead guitar. There was the great bass sound, (I love to watch those fingers dance) of JT Burley and always right there on drums was Mike Dipaolo.

I'm sure the Earl's Hideaway show will be a really great party and they're back in Vero end of May. Don't miss this band if you want to 'let your hair down' and have a good old fashioned good time!

I got some inside info from a musician friend that the Crooked Creek band at the Patio "sounded really good" so hearing them is high on my list for next time.
But my itinerary tonight will be to enjoy the unique singing voices of Tony and Holly at the American Bar and Grill at Vista Royale until 9 pm and then cruise over to Shuckdaddy's to dance to the rockin' and rollin' of the In The Pocket band with Kent Taylor Brown, Rick Collins and company.
But then, plans can change. There's so much to enjoy in Vero these days - what about those Supercats at the Kilted Mermaid? And Low Key at Blue Star? How to fit it all in is my dilemma.
But for now, Tony and Holly and then Kent and Rick are still highest on my Saturday night list.
