Jack Divine's and The Bayou

Hi Gang,

This week I have some great news! I am playing on Chippewa on Thursday and Saturday! Thursday after the Square I am at Jack Divine's Irish Pub (the old Barrel House). It is gorgeous and I am playing an upright piano as well. Saturday is a HUGE show and I really need you there! I am playing at the Bayou (the old McMonkee's). It's a massive party and there will be a great many people there. The place is huge and really set up to party with separate lounge areas, lit up dance spaces and an upper floor with separate bar! Please tell your friends and come on down for the fun. I would love to see you!

Jack Divine's Irish Pub. 85 W Chippewa St. Buffalo, NY 14220. (716) 855-8400. Thursday, May 29 @ 8:30 p.m.

The Bayou. 79 W. Chippewa St. Buffalo, NY 14222. (716) 854-5444. Saturday, May 31 @ 9:00 p.m.


Here is a shot from The Bayou. It's a blast!

Have a great week and I'll see you Thursday or Saturday!

Good Stuff & Bad Stuff

HI,

First the good stuff...My friends really showed how good hearted and caring they are this weekend. I had the hardest week of my life last week (I'll get into that in a minute). My shows at 41 West in Fredonia, Talty's, the Southshore were off the hook. Most of you don't go to Talty's but I must tell you this past weekend it was so crowded and amazing some people had to leave because of the applause and crowd. People were amazing that night and it was packed! It was probably the most amazing performance I ever did in Buffalo...It was that good! Fredonia was wonderful as was Angola. I also did Niagara Falls Country Club and Lancaster High School (I was pretty busy).

What I'm about to tell you I say as a testament to the true nature of friendship. Over a week ago I was the sickest I have been in 12 years. As I was getting over that my son, Griffin, who I put in treatment for drugs a year ago January, went back to using drugs and has run away in Oklahoma. We don't know where he is and he won't communicate with us. I have lost my son for now. I know God has a plan...I just have to get out of the way. Friday I was driving to a show and a girl on Oak Street made a left turn from the center lane and totaled my van! I have no way of getting my equipment to any shows because a girl rendered my van useless.

Here's where the friends come in. My buddy Shawn crammed most of my stuff in his Ford Taurus and made me play when I wanted to give up. I got out of myself and did what I do best. So many people have Griffin in their prayers and talk to me about this van crap...It really is amazing! I still don't know what I'll do for this weekend's shows...I have no van, but Love and Spirit are all around me. So there it is. That's what I'm up to.



Here are my shows for the week:

Sonoma Grille. 5010 Main St., Snyder. 204-0251. Fri.: Gregg Sansone, 8:30 p.m.

Sunset Grill. 3 O'Connell Island. Wilson. 795-9349. Sun.: Gregg Sansone, 4:00 p.m.

The Southshore Beach Club. 8966 Lakeshore Rd., Angola. 549-3026. Mon.: Gregg Sansone, 7:00 p.m.

Come out and see me if you can. All I can beg you to do is, if you pray, please do so for my son Griffin. We don't know where he is and he is so hurt inside.

Peace,

Gregg

Back from being sick as hell!

Well gang, I have to tell you...I was the sickest I've been in about 12 years this past week. I could not go to North Carolina for my brother's wedding. That broke my heart. But I stayed in and took care of myself. I'm getting over it which is great. I really need to be well because I have five shows to do this week! Two of them are on Thursday and they are private but Friday, Saturday and Sunday are going to be off the hook! Friday I return to 41 West in Fredonia. The place is awesome and it's a "Grass Skirt" party!

Saturday I am back at Talty's! PLEASE make a point to come to Talty's! It is incredible. The fun and sing alongs, friendship and general insanity of this place can't be beat! Sunday I play the Southshore Beach Club's annual anniversary party! It's a blast again! Remember that I start every Monday night at the Southshore on Memorial Day.

Here's the schedule:

41 West. 41 West Main St., Fredonia. 679-4101. Friday, May 16: Gregg Sansone, 8:30 pm.

Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., 825-9279. Saturday, May 17: Gregg Sansone, 9:00 pm.

Southshore Beach Club. 8966 Lakeshore Rd., Angola. 549-3026. Sunday, May 18: Gregg Sansone, 4:00 pm.


Last year's anniversary party at the Southshore. My good buddy, Ed Strawbrich jammed on "Evil Ways!"

Have a fantastic week and for all you ladies that are mothers, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! You have the hardest job in the world. I hope your day is filled with love!



Peace,

Gregg

Taking a Break

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to tell you all that I'm taking a break this week. I'm going to my brother's wedding in North Carolina. Playing the music for his reception is really something I'm looking forward to. I will return the following week with four shows (May 15, 16, 17 and 18). If you're in town check out one of the shows. My calender can be found at : Gregg's Calender Click Here

Have a great week and remember to keep music in your heart!

Peace,

Gregg Sansone
