Get out of the cold! Come to one of my shows!

I don't think any of us in Western New York will be swimming anytime soon!

This week is going to be a blast! I'm playing three of my favorite places! All of them have their own charm and great atmosphere! I hope you can make it to one of them (if not all!).....

Bar Louie. 280 Walden Galleria. Cheektowaga . 681-0257. Wed. (tonight) Jan. 27 @ 9:00 pm. (this place is wonderful! The bar is awesome, the specials fantastic and the music....well, you know!)

Forestview. 4781 Transit Rd. Depew. 656-8760. Thursday, Jan. 28 @ 9:00 pm (The Forestview is a place that is quickly getting known for having great music...much like Talty's. The bar is small but warm and the crowd is wonderful. They also serve food until 4:00 am)

Griffin's Irish Pub. 81 Abbott Rd. Buffalo. 821-7708. Saturday, Jan. 30 @ 10:00 (OMG! Griffin's is ALWAYS a fantastic time! If you have never been to one of my shows there you are missing out. Danny Griffin always comes up and does Elvis and the crowd really gets into things! You've GOT to check it out!)

I just came back from a much needed break. I hope all of you in Western New York are staying warm. If you live in a warmer climate I want to kick your butt! It's freezing here!

Peace,

Gregg

A Couple of GREAT places!

Gregg

Gregg's Christmas Party at Tony Rome's

I must tell everyone that the benefit for my dear friend Ray Burke went extremely well! Many of you asked about Ray and/or showed up at the benefit. Ray sure has a lot of people who love him! This week I return to Tony Rome's and I am having a very big Christmas party. There are so many of you that don't come to my shows anymore...I feel sad about that but I'm sure you are busy and have other things to do with your lives. If you don't get a chance to come to my party I hope you can make my after Christmas party at Talty's on December 26 or any other show during the new year.

The Tony Rome's Party/Show will be a great time to get together before Christmas next week. I really cannot believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK! I play Sippy's this Thursday and Tony Rome's on Friday. Saturday is a private party. Here is the schedule:

Sippy's. 3455 Genesee St. Cheektowaga. 631-0289. Thurs.: Gregg Sansone, 9:00 pm.

Tony Rome's. 1537 Union Rd., West Seneca. 675-4351. Fri.: Gregg Sansone, 9:30 pm. The party starts after the hockey game and will go on into the night. Come down and share some holiday cheer with me!

Have a wonderful week! I really do hope I can see you before Christmas. If I don't please have a safe and wonderful holiday!

Peace,

Gregg

As we enter into the holiday season I start to smile because this is my favorite time of year without a doubt. Thank you all so much for everything! This is a photo of me with Lana Hergert, the lead singer of Black Widow and one of my dearest friends. She is so supportive and such a class act! We were both winners at the Buffalo Music Awards.

Have a great Thanksgiving and I'll see you soon!

The Buffalo Music Awards Results

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for the support and kindness you have shown me. Because of YOU I won Solo Artist of the Year at the Buffalo Music Awards, Thursday, November 19. I cannot thank you enough for coming to shows, singing, dancing and smiling. Friends and family are the most important thing in life and you all constantly take my breath away. I must congratulate all the nominees and I truly am indebted to one of my dearest friends, Lana Hergert the extraordinary lead singer of Black Widow. She supported me with love and kindness and I will forever hold a place for her in my heart.. Again, because of you all, I won the award for the fifth year in a row. That has never been done. I am touched! I vow to work just as hard and go full steam ahead in the upcoming year. I truly hope to see you at a show or two.

Have a wonderful holiday season.

Peace,

Gregg

The Buffalo Music Awards and a nice show

Well gang, the Buffalo Music Awards are in two days...Lots of people and bands are nominated. I certainly wish all the nominees all the best. For those of you wishing to go, the cost at the door is $5.00. It is at Club Paradise in Hamburg, NY. There are a ton of great bands so the $5.00 is well worth it. The show and ceremony starts at 8:00. The doors open at 7:30.

I play at the Newcomb-Long Post on Rt. 5 in Derby this Friday. Saturday is a private show.

Newcomb-Long Post. 7353 Derby Rd., Derby, NY 14047. 947-0928. Friday, Nov. 20 @ 8:00 pm.

The post is really great. It is brand new and open to the public. Good food and a great bar!

See you soon!

Gregg

What a blast we're gonna have!

The front of the Big Tree Inn

Hi Gang,

Crazy Jake's was phenomenal last week. Griffin's was even better...Off the hook, so to speak. I wish you guys could have been there. How I would LOVE to see some of you out at a show. This week I play the Big Tree Inn near the Stadium. EVERY time I play there it is crazy fun. Cobber's is having their anniversary party and THAT is going to be wild too! Try to come out...My family is usually at the Big Tree and we surf on tables (I kid you not!).

Here is the schedule:

Sippy's. 3455 Genesee St. Cheektowaga. 631-0289. Thurs. Nov. 12 @ 9:00 pm.

The Big Tree Inn. 4277 Abbott Rd., Orchard Park. 649-9892. Fri. Nov. 13 (after the Sabre's game)

Cobber's . 6831 Seneca St. Elma. 805-1568. Sat. Nov. 14 @ 9:00 pm

Have a wonderful week and I hope to see you soon!

Gregg

People are great and a couple awesome shows!

I just wanted to tell you all how people can touch your life. My son, Griffin and I were driving from Oklahoma to Buffalo, the car we were driving was not in the greatest shape. While driving we replaced the battery. We got to Marshfield, Missouri and our car broke down (alternator died)! We were stranded and the jeep was... towed to Auto Zone. Caleb Atkeson and Shelby Richardson worked for HOURS (even after they punched out) to install the alternator. They would not take money and said they just wanted to get us home. They are two of the kindest people I have EVER met. They did HUNDREDS of dollars work for free. Because of them Griffin and I made it home. They are amazing. Really makes you believe in the kindness of others!

Halloween weekend at Talty's and Cobber's was off the hook last week. I can't tell you how fun it was! I was a Beatle from Sgt. Pepper!

Here's the schedule for this week:

Crazy Jake's. 26 Webster St. N. Tonawanda . 693-9309. Fri.: Gregg Sansone, 9:00 pm

Griffin 's Irish Pub. 81 Abbott Rd. 821-7708. Sat.: Gregg Sansone, 10:00 pm

Both places are going to rock...You should try to be at one of the shows if you are in town.

Peace,

Gregg

Happy Halloween....Booooo!

Hi,

I just wanted to tell you all that I just came back from Wildwood Crest, New Jersey for a private show and it was AMAZING! The people were so wonderful and they paid for lodging, food, gas and fun! I was right on the boardwalk. The town is incredible and the place that I was put up in is fashioned after a "Rat Pack" kind of theme...You know, early 1950's cool...The hotel had $21,000,000 sunk into it...The owner heard me play and hired me for Kentucky Derby weekend! Another owner of three more places heard me and is hiring me as well! That's pretty awesome! I guess this New Jersey resort town never had a taste of Buffalo before! LOL! I'll keep you posted!

This week is going to be fantastic! It's Halloween weekend and the parties I am having will be second to none! First I start off with Sippy's on Thursday: Sippy's. 3455 Genesee St., Elma. 631-0308. Thursday, Oct. 29 @ 9:00 pm. It' s such a great time. Try and make this weekly gig. I could use the support.

Friday is my annual Halloween bash at Talty's: Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., 825-9279. Friday, Oct. 30 @ 9:30 pm. This party will be off the hook! Wear a costume, dance on tables and win prizes!

Saturday is another fantastic party at Cobber's in Elma: Cobber's. 6831 Seneca St., Elma. 805-1567. Saturday, Oct. 31 @ 9:00 pm. This is Cobber's 1st annual Halloween party and it will be amazing! Drink specials, prizes and good music (if I do say so myself)!

I hope I see some of you if you are not busy and happen to be in twon...If I don't see you, have a great weekend and TRICK OR TREAT!

Gregg

The Buffalo Music Awards

Hi Everyone,

Well the time has come again for the Buffalo Music Awards. I am nominated again for Solo Artist of the Year. The competition this year is very stiff and I could use your vote. This is the last year I will be on the ballot so any help you could give me would do me well. If I win I get more shows and that's what it's all about. You have been with me through a very difficult year for me, despite the fact that some of you have had difficult times this year. My surgery kept me out of business for two months and you still supported me. Thank you for that. The link below takes you right to the on line ballot. Scroll down and cast a vote in the Solo Artist category. If you could help out my friends Lana Hergert who is up for Female Rock Vocalist, Black Widow for rock band, John Coccia (her bass player) for Rock Bassist and Busted Stuff for Duo. Here is the link:

I'm doing a show on the Jersey Shore this weekend. I still am playing at Sippy's this Thursday but my main shows will be two weeks from now for Halloween. You'll have to check that out!

Again, thank you for all your support and consideration!

Peace,

Gregg

What's up with me now...

Great Benefit and a New Venue

Hi,

This past week was great! Crazy Jake's on Friday went really well. A lot of fun but, then again, I always have fun there. Saturday was wonderful. I did a benefit for my friend Patty's father, Dan Woods, who lost his home and almost his life in the floods from August 9. A ton of people showed up and my friends Randy Milligan and Mike Skowronski from Herd of Buffalo played an awesome acoustic set! A good amount of funds were raised...Gotta pay it forward!

This week I start at a new place called Sippy's. It is an awesome little place located on Genesee at Union Rd. I will be playing there every Thursday. It's a great setting and they LOVE all kinds of music especially rock and country...Check it out! I could use the support! I also have some more private shows this week. That is why Thursday is the only open day.

Here is the info on Sippy's:

Sippy's. 3455 Genesee St., Cheektowaga. 631-0308. Thursday, Oct. 1 @ 9:00 pm. (Every Thursday)

Have a wonderful week folks and I hope to see you soon!
