It’s always been a pleasure enjoying a show at The John St. Pub in Arnprior, I have seen several great shows there and played there myself as well. An upstairs bar setting with framed albums on the walls, a good size dance floor open area for the crowd, totally an 1980’s throwback feel, kudos to them, but tonight July Twenty First was special, it was the reappearance of Jeff Martin of Tea Party and Solo Fame. I unfortunately missed his first show here, but I was assured of an awesome show by friends. The show had several support acts, all unique, which added to the great flow of the evening, Crossing Jane, Vicki Brittle, Etoile Noire, Robb Kerr. I knew we were in for a treat of an evening of Local Artists.
I am Music, I live, breath, play, and love it. It fuels me everyday of my life. I do 2 online radio shows, Mondays "Soundcheck" (7pm est) and Thursdays "Nothing but Grace" The Hip Show (7pm est) both on www.rbxradio.com, I'm a musician (Stoneskull, The Fabulously Hip), and I've been working with bands for many years in the capacity of Photographer, Videographer, Publicist and Agent.
