Schedule

Sunday, May 16, 2010, from 4:30 PM until 6:00 PM at the STOCKLEY GARDENS ARTS FESTIVAL, an outdoor event in Stockley Gardens in Norfolk's Ghent neighborhood that benefits the HOPE HOUSE FOUNDATION. Art, outdoors, blues, and ambience that is hard to beat.

Sunday, June 20, 2010, at some point in the day (the time has yet to be set), at La Fete de la Musique, in Norfolk's East Beach community in East Ocean View. Last year, we were on Stage 2, Stage Pavilion, mon frere, which is just behind the tennis courts on 27th Bay Street. This year, who knows, maybe there, maybe elsewhere - wherever we are, I'm confident it'll be fun. Enter the East Beach Community by turning onto Pleasant Avenue from Shore Drive (it is about one block south of the Ship's Cabin restaurant). There is a big parking lot to your left on either side of 24th Bay Street. There will be a trolley to take you throughout the community (apparently they don't want us aimlessly driving through the 'hood). If you take Pleasant Avenue to 27th Bay Street and turn right (south), drive about four or five blocks to the end of the street, and you'll see the tennis courts; the stage is under a gazebo behind the courts. OK, it sounds more complicated than it is, really .... (this gig was great fun!)

Eventually there will be more gigs for Fat Tony. In the interim, we'll spend our time at least thinking about writing new songs, learning new licks, and sipping a beer or two. If the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, we'll be playing "blues, swing, and everything" near you.

More on the way one day ...
