Default The Village bands in the squares

I have been asked "Who are the best ROCK bands in The Villages." Having only been living there for a total of five months, I feel I am not the one to be a judge. It would be fun to rate them so newbies will know when to go to the squares to listen to the music.

The entries-

Rocky and The Rollers-
Yesterdayze-
Norman Lee and The Boondock Saints-
Street Talk-
Shepard's Pie-
Cactus Jack and The Cadillacs-
Slice of Lime-
Sounds of Time-
Lenny Wilson-
DID I FORGET ANYONE?????

This is good IslandBabe- Aside from Yesterdayze, I have never seen any of the other above bands you mentioned. When I return in January, I will make it a point to check them out.

You talk only of bands - not the total entertainment package offered at the squares. I happen to like all the bands mentioned so far and would be hard put to name a #1. However, some non-bands would rate very high on my list. For example, several times I have made "special" trips to a square because Scooter the DJ was playing that night. I really enjoy his entertainment, which (to me) more approaches a show than anything else.

Just Mike is real good and he mingles with the crowd while playing. I find the interaction of Just Mike loads of fun.

We heard "Mpire" a couple of weeks ago. Will absolutely blow any other band away.

You forgot Bobby Blackmon and the 3 B Band. They are a blues group and are EXCELLENT!

They were in Spanish Springs last night (Saturday) and "blue" the place away!
