The Last Show Before Surgery and a HUGE Benefit!

I cannot believe all that is happening! I hope you all have the opportunity to come to Talty's this Friday at 9:30. This will be my last performance for many months. I know it is going to be an incredible time. As my surgery approaches I witness the outpouring of kindness and love shown by people like Renee Dolinar, Maria Garrity and her group, Nicole Manges, Lisa Santora...so many others. The benefit for me on Sunday is almost too much to fathom. Black Widow, Busted Stuff, The Mick Hayes Band and Only Humen are performing. Maria and friends have sold hundreds of dollars worth of tickets and made close to 30 baskets for the Chinese auction. The Guitar Factory donated and electric guitar signed by the Goo Goo Dolls! People have contacted me from all over the nation. I feel undeserving. I will make every attempt to "Pay it Forward" to all. I will keep in touch during the next couple of months. This will give time to reflect and heal. I love you all and know how grateful I am to have the opportunity to be your friend.

Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave. South Buffalo. 825-9279. Friday, March 28 @ 9:30 PM

Hi,

This past St. Patty's Day weekend was really crazy! Would you expect anything different from one of the largest Irish populations in the USA? Well, Tuesday is St. Patrick's Day. Eat some nice corn beef and cabbage and listen to some great Irish music...I know I will!

This week I'm back at the Somoma Grille and at the new place, Cobber's in Elma. Both are really great. This week's shows will be the first two in the last four shows I do before my break from playing. I hope I can see you. Here's the schedule:


The Sonoma Grille, 5010 Main St., Amherst. 204-0215. Friday, March 20 @ 8:30 p.m.

Cobber's. 6831 Seneca Street. Elma. 805-1567. Saturday, March 21 @ 8:00 P.M.

Top O the mornin' to ya,

St. Patty's Day Weekend!

Man...I'm getting filled with the Irish spirit...Maybe because my second mother is so darned Irish that it rubbed off on me! Last Saturday at Shenannigan's was absolutely crazy! It was a fun time at a new Irish pub!

This week is really going to be off the hook. If you live in Western New York, or ever have in the past, then you know how St. Patrick's Day is here! It is not just a day...It is a week long festival! Friday and Saturday will be no exception. I will play the Trackside in Alden for a St. Patty's happy hour and then go to Griffin's Irish Pub in South Buffalo. Most of you know that the shows at Griffin's are amazing! What makes this night so special is that it's GRIFFIN"S AND IT'S OUR ST. PATTY'S DAY PARTY!!! Wear some green and come on down because I will be alpying a bunch of tradional Irish music and Celtic Rock! Saturday at Gonzo's in Lockport is their big event...A HUGE St. Patty's day party!

Here's the schedule:

Trackside Bar & Grill. 13129 Broadway St, Alden. 902-4115. Friday, March 13 @ 4:00 PM

Griffin's Irish Pub. 81 Abbott Rd., 821-7708. Friday, March 13 @ 10:00 PM

Gonzo's. 7 Main St., Lockport. 438-5765. Saturday, March 14 @ 10:00 PM

Get ready for green beer and jigs! This weekend is going to rock!

Have a great week!

Gregg

PS: a big belated happy birthday to my dear friend Ed Strawbrich!

Two Cool Places and a Lot of Fun!

Hi Gang!

Last week was awesome but pretty darn tiring! I did two shows on Friday and then another on Saturday...Boy, was I aching on Sunday!

This week is going to be pretty cool...Friday I play Salvatore's Italian Gardens for the first time in about seven years. It really has changed. They're bringing in a younger crowd and it really is beautiful there. Saturday I play the brand new, Shenannigan's and it's owned by my great buddy direct from Ireland, Abban Westby. Shenannigan's is a beautiful Irish pub that boasts a warm atmosphere, a great bar and awesome food (of course the music isn't bad).

So here is the schedule:

Salvatore's Italian Gardens. 6461 Transit Rd. Depew, 683-7990. Friday, March 6 @ 8:00 PM

Shenannigan's Bar and Grill. 1009 Niagara Falls Blvd. Amherst. 748-8884. Saturday, March 7 @ 9:00 PM

Have a wonderful week!

Gregg
