Uncle bob's rock shop is the best. Mpire is also very good. If you don't have a drummer, don't call yourself a band, glorified karioke sucks.:BigApplause:

Petrina - Just full of fun.

Doc Holliday Band is wonderful---- Love them----really enjoy it when Jessie Daumen is with them playing the fiddle. Very talented group. Also enjoy Petrina--she is such an entertainer. My husband and I love all kinds of music from Blue Grass to Opera---and feel so fortunate to have such good entertainment at the Squares.

My favorite entertainment is the people dancing to the music and the line dancers (in that order). You cannot beat that!!

Please get rid of the DJs and Karaoke singers, or what we like to call "button pushers". It's supposed to be live entertainment.

Thanks for the kind words for 3 For the Road, Doc!

If you're looking for an alternative to the squares, Larry Hubbard has started a classic rock and roll club that meets from 6:30 til 8:30 on the fourth Sunday of each month at Laurel Manor Rec Center. Entertainment is provided by Villages residents. BYOB and snacks.
A small group from the Beatlemaniacs will do a half our set this week. Larry will also perform as well as several other Villages residents.
There will be no meeting in August.

My favorite group is Village Harmony but they haven't been able to get to play the squares.Rocky will be using them on one of his shows and then maybe the powers that be might notice their talent and book them into one of the squares.Hope so.I like Rocky and the Rollers because they play the most music of anybody.Their first set runs from 5 to 6:30 unlike most groups who do 45 minutes and then take a break.Doc Holliday is great also as are Cactus Jack and his Cadillacs.

Most entertaining we have seen is the Caribbean Chillers. :thumbup:

You are right Winston ,I don't leave my
house for Karaoke or lip synk,but I will be at the square spending my retirement funds,when a real band is playng,Rocky is good old time rock,Bobby Blackmon,great Blues,and who ever decided that"Mustang Sally"is a line dance ?

Uncle Bob's Rock Shop
 
They're the only band I'll go to see by myself. My wife isn't in to Pink Floyd& Led Zeppelin & most of my friends are older so Rocky & Cactus Jack is what they like. So I've been known to go alone.Classic Rock ...hope to see more of it in the future. The 60s are alright but I'm hoping it runs its course in the near future.

Agree! Stick with "real" bands!! Glad 3 For The Road is finally back in August!

As a dancer, I look for the entertainment that plays the best music for dancing. We always get a good dancing group to see the Dan Story Band. They are playing 4 times in August so if you haven't seen them yet, come and check them out. They're playing...

We also like Clark and his various bands, Street Talk, Scooter (for the first hour or so) Mpire, Doc Holiday etc. We'd much rather see the live bands as well and it seems they all do draw a much larger crowd than the singles do with their pre recorded music.

Looking forward to hearing and dancing to the Gator Paw Band tonight for the first time.

Uncle Bob's Rock shop is playing tonight @ Lake Sumter Landing. It's market night and the weather forecast is beautiful.
