Scooter the DJ
Rocky and the Rollers
Vinyl Recall
Bobby Blackmon and the B3 Band
Uncle Bob's Rock Shop
Clark Barrios Band
Cactus Jack and the Cadillacs

Not a bad list for somebody who's not even here yet!

UBRS is my favorite.

One thing about Rocky, you could record it once and play it over and over and over. Same ol' junk every time!

Rocky and the Rollers will get the most votes, and if you don't believe that look at the LSL webcam tomorrow (Tue) at about 6pm. Second would be Uncle Bob's Rock Shop (UBRS) as on their t-shirts. Personally we've seen Uncle Bob about 35 times and Rocky about ten times.

We also like Petrina, who is at Brownwood tomorrow and we're going to see her since it's been about a year and Rocky only a couple of months. She's British and sings contemporary hits but puts on a nice show. We also like Cactus Jack and the Cadillacs. They perform psych-rock hits of the late 60's, some one hit artist and the mainstream hits. Uncle Bob does a Beatles medley and then mostly 70's rock featuring the Eagles, Tom Petty and a little Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin thrown in. We also like Caribbean Chillers, they're a Jimmy Buffet type band, Yesterdayze which is a 60's psych-rock band but don't perfom here as much anymore since they are out of St. Petersburg. A lot of people like Clark Barrios, he has about 5 or 7 bands with various backing and lineups, he focuses on Frank Sinatra to pop oldies to hits, he has a nice voice but is a little too mellow for me.

Here's a photo of Uncle Bob at Brownwood, you can see they are a five piece band and rack of guitars in the background. The guitarist on the left also plays keyboards, but does so on his guitar, very unique.

Motown and More that features Rick Melvern. Did a Stevie Wonder impersonation and knocked it out of the park. Rick has a great voice!!!

"Vinyl Recall" really rocks with DougB, PammyJ and Dr. Winston O. Boogie!!!

A unique perspective indeed. There is even a cruise featuring Rocky that is usually sold out well in advance.

Junk? These are extremely talented men. They have performed with over 300 well known artists. You have every right to your opinion, but to say junk.... stay home.

All of the bands mentioned are very good and puts on good shows. The carribean band is the Carribean Chillers. They are a Buffet cover band, but Jason Webb will work in several of his original songs into the shows. Good stuff!
