Back at Tony Rome's!

Hi Gang,

This photo was taken at Niagara Falls last December...I thought it was fitting for the beginning of December 2007. I hope all is well and that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for. Thanksgiving was wonderful! My son spent his first Thanksgiving here in Western New York!

The shows were fine (I did a wedding in Syracuse, NY)...I was also out of commission on Friday.

This week I return to Tony Rome's and I hope you can make it out there. It is ALWAYS a fun time there and I really need a good showing. Tony Rome's is Friday at 9:00 and the Frog Grill is Saturday at 8:30.

Here is my schedule:

Tony Rome's. 1537 Union Road, West Seneca. 675-4351. Friday, November 30 @ 9:00 p.m.


The Frog Grill. 561 Main St. Tonawanda. 694-3700. Saturday, December 1 @ 8:30 p.m.

If you are in the Buffalo area please try to make it! Tony Rome's is such a great time! The Frog Grill is wonderful too!

Peace,

Gregg

The Final Push for Voting and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Gang!

This is the final week of on-line voting for the Buffalo Music Awards. I really could use a final push for Solo Artist of the Year. I cannot tell you how important it is with regard to me getting more gigs throughout the year. If you could pass the link on to any friends that would be a great help. You just enter your email address and name. They will send you the ballot by email.

Here is the link:

http://bestofwny.com/bma/index.php?sid=2&newtest=Y or go to: http://bestofwny.com/ and click on the link there.

If you see Last Exit on the ballot PLEASE vote for them as well! That was my great friend Ed Strawbrich's band!

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your day is filled with love and family. There is so much to be grateful for.

By the way, I am playing at Alexandria's (Alexandria's. 5512 Transit Rd. Depew. 681-1688) Wednesday at 4:00 p.m., The Buffalo Brew Pub (6861 Main St. Williamsville. 632-0552) on Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m. and at the Frog Grill (561 Main St. Tonawanda. 694-3700) this Friday night at 8:00 p.m.

Thanks so much for being in my life! I hope to see you soon!

Gregg

Fall is Upon Us!

This week was wonderful! I played early shows on Friday and Saturday and was able to have my evenings free. Friday I was at Alexandria's for happy hour. That went well but I was down in the pit so all I saw was the butts of people walking around! Saturday I did the fundraiser for the Angola Moose Lodge. The lodge burned down last month and we raised a ton of money to help re-build. This week is going to be great because I return to the Big Tree Inn for the first time in years! The Big Tree is near and dear to my family. The owner is a personal friend. He underwent MAJOR surgery and this is going to be a bash for him. Lots of my family members will be there. I hope you can come out to Orchard Park and have a ball. I rarely see any of you anymore. It would be nice. Saturday I am in Olean at Mixer's. Mixer's is an absolute blast and if any of you are in that neck of the woods, stop out! Also, I will be playing at Alexandria's Wednesday afternoon, the day before Thanksgiving and then I will head down the street to the Buffalo Brew Pub for their Thanksgiving Eve bash at 9:00 p.m.!

Gregg Sansone and the Buffalo Music Awards

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if you could help me out? I really need a push this year for Solo Artist of the Year for the Buffalo Music Awards. The competition is really tough. By winning it helps me get many more gigs throughout the year. You can vote on line for me...When you go to the link you will have to put in your name and email address. For security purposes they will email the ballot back to you. Leave all categories blank if you don't know anyone...except for the second last page which has me! Just click the circle next to my name.

Here is the link: http://bestofwny.com/bma/index.php?sid=2&newtest=Y

or you can go to the site Best of Western New York.Com and click on the section that says "click here to vote" at http://www.bestofwny.com/

One more thing...Could you PLEASE pass this to as many people that you know so that they can help me too? I know your friends don't know me but if you could ask them to do this for you I would be forever in your debt. One of my competitors is going around to bars and having people fill out paper ballots! I'll let you know when the results come in.

Thanks for everything!

Gregg

Happy Halloween!

Fall is Here!

Aah! It started tocool off and that means people are coming back to the clubs. This week was pretty amazing. I played 67 West on Chippewa and it was insane Friday night. My best buddy from New York City, Joe Burby came in town. We have singing together for over 25 years. It was incredible. The place was mobbed. Saturday at the Hop Inn was equally mobbed with great friends and awesome music.

This week I start at a new BEAUTIFUL place, the Frog Grill. It is 5 star and an early show on Friday (8:00 p.m.) I could use your support there. Saturday I am back at Talty's...You really have to see it to believe it. We go completely crazy there!

Here's what's going on:

The Frog Grill by Say Cheesecake! 561 Main St., Tonawanda. 694-3700. Fri.: Gregg Sansone, 8 p.m.

Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave. 825-9279. Sat.: Gregg Sansone, 9 p.m.

Have a great week!

Hey, Hey, Hey!

I sound like Fat Albert!

What an incredible week I had! My son came to live with me for good this past Tuesday (he's the handsome one in the photo)! Being a full time single dad is pretty busy! God, has Griffin grown up! OK, this week will be great because I play on Chippewa Friday night at 67 West. It is a great place and the plus is that my best friend from New York City, Joe Burby will be in town...Why is that cool?
Because we performed together for 20 years and our voices are incredible together! Check it out. Also, this Saturday I play at the Hop Inn. I will be there the last Saturday of every month from now on (instead of Gordon's).

Here's the skinny:

67 West. 67 W. Chippewa St. 842-0281. Friday, September 28 @ 9:00 p.m.

I'm Back! I'm Back!

Well....Vacation in the mountains was absolutely amazing! Went mountain climbing, kayaking and hiking...I actually slept for 8 hours! Anyway, it was wonderful! Here are a couple photos of where I was...

Look, for those of you who are in town I am playing at Alexandria's on Transit Road in Depew (across from the Hidden Shamrock) on TUESDAY, SEPT. 11 @ 8:00 PM. This is a Jazz and Blues show and a time to celebrate being American as well as remembering our loss 9/11/01. PLEASE TRY TO MAKE IT!

O.K., here is the schedule for the week:

I'm glad to be back gang. Please try to come out and see me. I'd love to catch up with you after this busy summer we all had.

Peace,

Gregg

The Summer is Almost Over!

I can't believe the summer is almost over! I spoke to so many people and they seemed to say the same thing....this was one of the busiest summers in recent times. I can attest to that! I played Talty's again last Saturday and it was crazy as usual. Bart's in Dunkirk was a real summer event!

This week sees the end of my shows at both Top of the Falls and South Shore. Both days will be blow outs! The annual Labor Day party at South Shore should not be missed. You really should try to make it out...It's really the last day of the summer season. When will we have a chance to have summer fun? Not until next year. So here's the schedule for this week:

The South Shore Beach Club. 8966 Lake Shore Rd., Angola. 549-3026. Mon.: Gregg Sansone, 7:00 p.m. Big Labor Day Party!

Talty's Was Crazy!

You can't believe how crazy Talty's was this past Saturday in South Buffalo! The entire bar was rocking ALL NIGHT. Everybody went crazy! I am there again this Saturday...There will be about 250 people there and it's going to be wicked! Maria Hejna came to Top of the Falls with about 15 people for her brother John's 40th birthday. It was awesome with great fireworks and cake (Maria gave me a huge piece)!

Here's my schedule for the week:

Top Of The Falls. Terrapin Point. Niagara Falls. 278-0340. Fri.: Gregg Sansone, 7:00 p.m

Hope to see you guys soon!

Gregg

Holy Crap Have I Been Busy!

Good God, I have been busy as all get out! I guess that's great when you consider September returns to a normal schedule of tewo to three shows a week. I played the Fair on Saturday, had to pack up and get to Akron, NY for another show! Thank God for my roadie, Dave D.! I cannot tell you how difficult it was at the Fair. Moving equipment 1/4 mile to the stage! In any case, it went great and I'm beat! I would love to see you guys...I guess you're busy as hell like me!

This past week was action packed. I will say that the short gig I did on Saturday for a Catholic group here in Western New York was incredible! It was a small group but the pavillion I played in was acoustically phenominal and the people were great!

Enjoy your week...Be happy and be safe!

Gregg

What a Ball!

Hi,

This past week was incredible! The Buffalo River Fest was amazing! Hundreds of people and the crowd went wild! I have a new roadie and he helped out quite a bit.

Shanghai Red's went really well too! It was great to be on the water with so many friends and a wonderful crowd of people. This Friday I play at Cabaret on Pearl St. It is right across the street from Shea's and it is gorgeous! I'll be on the patio and I could really use some support. Also, Saturday is the first time I play Riley Street Station. It is a converted train station in East Aurora and it has to be seen to be believed.
