September 2025
Upcoming
Summer comes to an end this month but not the warm weather and good live music. Feel free to browse the whole site and review this month’s events. There’s plenty of content coming. If you haven’t checked out my previous page, August 2025, give that a glance. Otherwise, when the month is over, you can move on the next month and view my October 2025 page. For last minute and up-to-date events, be sure to check my calendar, Facebook, or Twitter. My “Welcome” page is a great place to start too.

OTR (On The Rocks) @ Elkfest & Seafood Festival, Pt. Pleasant Elks [Outside] (2pm To 7pm)
Once again this year I’ll be joining OTR with Rick Kuerzi on the Point Pleasant Elks (Lodge #1698) backlot stage for the Point Pleasant Elksfest at the Seafood Festival. We hit the tunes starting 2pm. While you’re cruising Arnold Avenue, stop in and give us a listen. Plenty of space to rest those tired feet while grabbing some grub and something to quench the thirst. You’ll be glad you stopped by!
The 47th Annual Festival of the Sea runs from 10:00am to 7:00pm. Please visit the links below for more details about the festival.

The Thanksgiving Trio Plays Again @ Caffery’s (6pm To 9pm)
Yes, Johnny Brue was going to be this week’s guest musician. However, he had a special family event to attend to so the Thanksgiving Trio is commandeering the slot. Josh, Jeff & I, once again, return to Caffery’s Tavern to rock that trio you know and love. We’ll be doing the same style of country, bluegrass, and classic rock tunes but with a Local Summer pizazz. It’s a mid-week distraction you know your soul needs feel. See you there! (Note: Johnny Brue has rescheduled, so catch him in one of the up-coming Tuesdays.)
