Rock and Roll Weekend

Tore it up again last weekend with two great nites of Rock and Roll, concerts 29 and 30 for the year!

Kicked it off on Friday nite at Chastain with the Capricorn Experience, a revue staffed by some classic artists from the Allman Brother's label including Doyle Bramhall, Cowboy, Wet Willie and Chuck Leavell.  A great way to wrap up a great summer of Southern Rock for Rockman!  Thanks Bernie for the tickets:)

Then on Saturday nite, New Jersey's own, The Smithereens played a free concert as the closing act of Suwanee Days in beautiful downtown Suwanee Georgia!  They rocked with their own classics like "Blood and Roses" and "A Girl Like You" and and even threw in a couple of Who songs too!


Onward to Pearl Jam at Music Midtown this weekend, see you at the show!

20th and final show of summer 2012

Closed down an epic summer and celebreted my birthday with Foreigner and Night Ranger, like myself, classics of the 80's who have aged well!

Night Ranger kicked off the festivities with a raucous blend of their easily recongnizable classsic rock.  Yes, Sister Christian is "still motoring"!

 
Foreigner bought it home as the headliners, rockin their many hits.  Mick Jones who had  heart surgery earlier this year was absent for the first few songs but the show shifted into hyperdrive when he took the stage for some of Foreigner's best.  A great guitarist backed by a great band had Chastain "Hot Blooded" all nite long.



After 28 shows so far this year, time for a few weeks off for Rockman as he rests for the epic that will be Pearl Jam at Music Midtown.  Although don't be suprised to see me at Chastain for the Night of Capricorn recording artists with Wet Willie, Cowboy and Chuck Leavell on Spetember 14.  See you at the show:)
