See you at the show!

Crazy Man Crazy guitarist Julian Root will be embarking upon a country-wide musical odyssey very shortly, and so has bowed out of the band. We’ll miss him, cuz he’s a good friend and a talented guy!

We’re seeking a new guitar player (either permanent or a fill-in for the Johnny Cash Tribute coming up in Philly on Sat, October 30th), to play 50s-style rock n’ roll, blues, country n’ swing originals and covers.

We rehearse Thursday nights in Upper Darby, just 15 minutes west of Philly.

You can hear 3 of our originals at:

http://www.myspace.com/crazymanblues

We also cover Hank Williams, Eddie Cochran, Elvis, Johnny Cash, etc.

If interested, email me at michaelsubvert@msn.com or call me at 610-931-1690.

Thanks!

I would like to thank the Brothers for stepping into the gap while I go up to New Hampshire to spend some time with my mother, who is in the hospital again due to cancer.

Thanks also to Crazy Man Crazy guitarist Julian Root for taking over the responsibility of finding another band and running the show. I have some awesome friends, no doubt.

Details on the show are below. See y’all when I get back…

WXPN Program Director Bruce Warren said of Big Terrible: “This stuff is good. These guys remind me of a cross between Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, and The Black Crowes. They have their own thing though.”

We’re lookin’ forward to sharing the stage with Big Terrible and the Danger O’s on July 3rd. Full details are below.

And while we’re on the subject of thanks, thanks to all the amazing acts. The abovementioned Fatima and Peter, along with White Elephant Burlesque Society, Nebulous Intent, The Ducks, Singer Songwriter Rasan Allbritton (one of these days I’ll pronounce your name right), Steve Lippe, and writer/director Briana Michelle Cannon and her brilliant cast, all kept the crowd spellbound throughout.

A big time thanks to my talented and tireless co-producer/stage manager, Crystal Why. You were there when I needed you — and more often than not, before I needed you.

The same could be said of the boys in my band, Crazy Man Crazy. Mark Alexander, Brandon Porter and Julian Root are three of the nicest and most talented guys I have ever worked with. Not to get sappy on y’all, but it’s great to have such good friends and artistic collaborators. You don’t often find both in the same place. I am very fortunate.

Finally, let me express my immense gratitude to Jason Neugent, Frank Bellina and Gina Renzi of the Rotunda. We threw you one curve after another and you handled it all beautifully.

And now we must set our sights on the next Five Minute Follies. Once again, the call goes out for acts. Spread the word. Philly has an old school variety show again.

Oh, and… rock on.

–Michael
