A WORD FROM KATE WEBER
Band Members Kate Weber - Vocalist & MCJohn Caruana - BassEd Pampani - Drums (A PLEASANT SYMMETRY)JR Bradfield - GuitarMike Masucci - Keyboards

What can I say? The first Ellery's Saturdays of Summer Open Mic Night was awesome!!! The night was full of all kinds of great music - from Indy acoustic rock to blues to classic rock. We even had Ellery's regular, Johnny C, get up and do a slammin' version of Lee Roy Brown! Paul N. played a mean bass along with JR Bradfield on guitar and Jeff K on drums. When Mike Masucci came up to play keys, all bets were off! They did an amazing medly of songs that had everyone singing along Local acoustic duo, Jessica and Milan stunned the entire bar with their powerful originals - we hope to see them again soon. Subject to Change made short work of some Bob Segar, Black Crowes, and Tina Turner, with Ed P and Brad backing them up on drums.
Many thanks to Ed Pampani and The BassBoards, who graciously lugged all of their equipment to the bar and allowed everyone to jam on it. They did a great job backing up anyone that wanted to play! Thanks also to my hubby, Mark Weber, for backing me up on some acoustic stuff and loaning out his amp
Many, many thanks to Angela and Justin, the bartenders for the evening, and to John Ellery, for taking the chance on a Saturday open mic night. We gave away some cool hats, T-shirts, and other goodies. Every Saturday, we'll be raffling off everything from T-shirts to tickets. You will just have to come to find out!
Remember - this Open Mic is every Saturday night in June and July! All musicians are welcome - any level, any style!!!!
Hope to see you next week!
Keep on rockin' -
Kate
