Hello live music fans of Vero and beyond, 

I hope you are getting out and to hear some live entertainment, moving the body to the music, greeting friends. Evenings are the best time to go out in summer, so find a venue near you (in Vero, they are all near) and appreciate our great local musicians. 

First on my agenda last night was the 14th Avenue Steak House, where I knew I'd find my buddies and of course hear Kent Taylor Brown, Jeff Haley, and guest artists. 




After I got my 'workout' there, dancing with any and everyone, I zipped over to the Blue Star 
as I had been personally invited by 
Gary of the Wiley Nash Band. 
This is a very enjoyable 'rockin'
 blues' group that plays most 
Wednesdays at Blue Star. 

Big Frank, Lili and Gary at the Blue Star Wine Bar
Dave 'the guitar man' of Wiley Nash  
Lovely Lili sings the blues at the Blue Star 
Some of the highlights were when Gary sang '16 Tons' which morphed into Lili singing 'Fever'. Loved the way Dave made the guitar growl on 'Blues Is My Business." Some other songs were 'Little Red Rooster', 'Born on a Bayou' and ending with 'Feels Like Rain.' 

I always notice the electric guitar, and Dave Scott can really play it! I'm sometimes grabbed by the bass, (often last night, thanks Gary), but I'm not usually attuned to the drums. But last night, there was something about the way 'big Frank' played them that really held my attention.

He got some well deserved applause from the Blue Star patrons. 

When he stands up, the 'big' in front of his name makes a lot of sense! 

Be sure to go hear the Wiley Nash Band when you see them scheduled.
