Sam Blanchette - Solo Acoustic - This Thursday, 06/05
« on: May 19, 2008, 11:10:46 pm »
Hey all - just a reminder that your old (OK - not-so-old!) buddy, guitarist Sam Blanchette will be debuting as a solo acoustic act this Thursday, May 22nd at Dewey\'s Pub in Seymour (exit 22 off Route 8).  If all goes well (turnout, music, etc) they will certainly have him back on a fairly regular Thursday schedule through the summer, possibly evolving into some type of open mic session and/or 2nd set electric (drum kit and bass amp already in place - bring guitar amp if planning on \'plugging in\').  
   Anyhow, if you can, please come on up (or down, across, however your GPS gets you there).  No cover charge, plenty of friendly regulars, a real nice guy (George Dewey) running the place, a few musical guests expected to join Sam on stage for his first time out, etc.  Music scheduled to start around 9 or so.
     Sam would love to see some of you there on the 22nd, even if it\'s just for a quick beer and a tune or 2 - it would mean so much to him to have a great turnout his first night.

he\'s sat in with the Blah Blah a few times and has been a sort of "unofficial" 5th member of Hubinger for some time now.

Good point (and absolutely no disrespect to "Uncle Timmy" - support him and his guitar insanity at all costs!!!)

As they often say (or at least I do):       "It\'s all good"!
