Happy Valentines Day! Or Wow, it's cold! Would help warm me up?

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all well and, if you are in Buffalo, New York, I pray you are bundled up and able to still have a smile on your face amidst all this frigid weather! This week is awesome becau
se I have two really great shows. The first is the South Buffalo Valentine's/40th Birthday Bash and the s
econd is the Southtowns Valentine's Day party! Friday I'm at the off the hook Talty's (Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., 825-9279. Friday, Feb. 11 @ 9:30 pm.)! I LOVE playing there and if you've ever been to one of my shows there you know why! They are amazing! Dennis Talty will dance on the bar,
people join in and sing along, guest musicians...you name it! What makes this night extra special is
it is our Valentine's Day party for all you sweeties and longtime friend, Renee Dolinar's 40th birthday bash! It is going to be off the hook. If you know Renee come out and celebrate. If you don't know her come and show support for a friend and join in on the sweetie celebration. Here is the good news...

IF YOU WEAR RED THAT NIGHT YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING. THE WINNER WILL GET A FOUR HOUR SHOW THIS SUMMER FOR FREE. I WILL PLAY YOUR SUMMER PARTY FOR FOUR HOURS. YOU CAN HAVE IT AT HOME OR TALTY'S OR THE LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE! JUST WEAR RED AND COME GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS!

The second party is another amazing event! Saturday I'm at the beautiful Papa Jake's in Springville (Papa Jake's Saloon. 243 West Main St., Springville. 592-9400. Saturday, Feb. 12 @ 9:00 pm.). Papa Jake's is owned by my great friend Chris Walters and the bar/restaurant has to be seen to be believed. It is beautiful old brick with a huge bar and dining area...Papa Jake's is having their St. Valentine's Day party on Saturday so if you have a sweetie (or are looking for one ) Papa Jake's may the place for you! It's a nice drive down the 219 to Springville. Come out and have a ball!

So here it is again:

Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., 825-9279. Friday, Feb. 11 @ 9:30 pm.

Papa Jake's Saloon. 243 West Main St., Springville. 592-9400. Saturday, Feb. 12 @ 9:00 pm

Have a blessed week and I promise I will play my heart out for you when you come to either (or both) events!

Peace,

Gregg

Sweet Melody's Friday, September 17 at 7:00 PM

The front dining room of Sweet Melody's

It's not too often that I come across a place that I cannot wait to play. Last week's show was incredible! It was more like a theater in the round setting. I was able to talk about music and the setting was much more intimate. People laughed, cried, talked....it is very rare that one of my shows takes on that type of atmosphere and I am so happy it did. Check out my show this Friday, September 17 at 7:00. You will REALLY like it!

Here is the info:

Sweet Melody's
8485 Transit Rd.
East Amherst, NY 14051
Tel. 716-580-3227
It's located right at Millersport and Transit

I play on Friday, September 17 at 7:00 PM. I'll go until 10:00 PM. There is an amazing array of food and also a wine and beer bar. You have got to check out the gelato though. It is sinful!

Check out Sweet Melody's web site for more info at: Sweet Melody's

See you Friday, Sept. 17 at 7:00 PM!

Chandy's...another great night!

When my buddy Freddy Zillner first called me and told me he was managing a place called Chandy's Lounge I thought it sounded like just another small pub and all that goes along with that. How wrong I was! Fred has been my friend since we were kids so when he asked me to play there I told him I would.

Chandy's has turned out to be a real gem. The stage area is wonderful and the bar area is big enough to accommodate a pretty nice sized crowd. Last night I played a Wednesday night gig. It went great! Why? The owner Joe Gargano, Freddy and the crew loved what was going on and the patrons had a ball...all on a Wednesday night! Now I'm playing there on St. Patty's day! How cool is that?If you have a chance check out Chandy's. Better yet, come to one of my shows there!
