MILLER LITE CORONA BACARDI RUM GREY GOOSE VODKA RED BULL ENERGY DRINK JUPITER'S PIZZA AND HIGHDIVE The Boat Drunks are a 6-piece band that performs only the music of Jimmy Buffett, songs that Jimmy covers in his concerts (i.e. James Taylor, Crosby, Stills & Nash), and of course, a few Boat Drunks originals. Howie Golub (Harmonica, Percussion), Jake Tatar (Guitar), Aaron Walk (Bass), Larry Lister (Drums), Andy Gaines (Keyboards), and Dyke Corson (lap steel guitar) make up the septet that has a rabid following both locally and regionally. The Boat Drunks have opened for Mr. Margaritaville himself on occasion and are frequently joined onstage by members of his Coral Reefer Band. www.boatdrunks.com ____________________________________ Friday July 24th... THE BRAT PACK ![]() Doors/Bar Open 7:00pm Brat Pack 8:00-9:15pm Brat Pack 9:45-11:00pm WELCOME URBANA HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1989 REUNION ATTENDEES! For over twelve years, The Brat Pack has amused, thrilled, rocked, and shocked audiences throughout the region with their all 80s, all hits, all upbeat show. Headed by guitarist Tommy Tubular, the Brat Pack plays songs so true to the original versions that some have accused the band of lip-synching. (Electric Larry at the soundboard offers proof of their reality, but only if you ask nice.) Lead singer Lynn D. Lauper can't decide what to wear so she wears everything, appearing as all sorts of 80s pop stars through the night. Jesse Van Halen and Guido Menudo/New Wave Dave are no side men, manning keyboards and bass guitar/bass guitar respectively with gobs and gobs of personality. On drums Josh of Seagulls threatens to raise the band's IQ, as he combines the study of subatomic physics with rocking the house hard.

LAURIE MORVAN BAND ![]() Doors/Bar Open 6:00pm Laurie Morvan 7:00-8:15pm Laurie Morvan 8:45-10:00pm "I set out to make a really strong guitar statement that would have people asking, ‘Who is that guitar player?" says Laurie Morvan of her latest release, Cures What Ails Ya [Screaming Lizard]. On the album’s 12 original tunes, Morvan singes the strings with fast, clean chicken pickin’, reaches heights of lyrical ecstasy through liquid bends, and kicks the rhythm in the pocket with propulsive comping. And while the 46-year-old blues stylist admits to a heavy Stevie Ray Vaughan influence, unlike so many others, she is no slavish imitator. "I wanted to develop my own style, and I spent a lot of time working on my strengths, and the things that would make me different,” she says. “Stevie was my gateway to this style of music, but I never wanted the same amp and guitar he had, or to try to sound like him." This is abundantly clear on the 12-bar Texas shuffle instrumental, “Wiggle Room,” where Morvan quotes classic Texas and Chicago riffs in the head, but then struts her own stuff in improvised solos with pugnacious double-stops and tightly coiled serpentine runs. www.lauriemorvan.com |
