Sit-In With Tommy Baz & Johnny Sticks @ Kegs & Eggs Sun Harbor (11am To 3pm)

Few of us took an early morning trip to support our friend Tommy Baz and the Bullzeye Band. A wonderful morning met with beautiful weather was on tap for Sun Harbor’s “Kegs & Eggs” event featuring the band. As friends departed a few hours later to travel onward to their respective events, I had the pleasure of blowing some harp on the last several country tunes. Thank you Tom, Sun Harbor, Johnny Sticks, and the rest of the band – it was a special brunch-time to remember.

Crashing The Jimmy Brogan Band Trio @ Dockside Cafe (5:30pm To 8pm)

Since I was in the area, I figured I’d stop by to catch the Jimmy Brogan Trio at the Dockside Cafe. After making my rounds through crowd of the friends gathered there, it wasn’t long before invited me up to sing some harmonies. Well, you can guess the rest of the story.

Sit-in With Paul Marzano @ Sunsets (6pm To 9pm)

Made an unplanned stop and joined Paul Marzano on a few tunes at Sunsets. (And Paul was even gracious to let me perform a few tunes on guitar during the break.) What a fun way to stay cool in this 90° weather. Lindsey at the bar made sure everyone was refreshed, and the owner Allen popped out of the kitchen for a brief moment to enjoy some tunes as well.

Sit-In With Jenny Barnes Band @ Arrowhead Inn (8pm To 12am)

My next stop on Saturday was to sit-in for the entire evening with the Jenny Barnes Band. Our schedules just never aligned so we could make this happen until today. I was excited to get a solid mix into the board on harmonica … something that I was so looking forward to.
