This was the original summer booking for me at the Over Easy Jam at Kelly’s but things changed when Frank Ward couldn’t make his gig on July 24. Mike Ancona asked me to switch with Frank and so I played in his place two weeks ago. However, Frank is taking some extra time off and so I will again take his place on August 7. Hope you feel better ASAP Frank!! Wednesdays are a fun night over at Kelly’s. The Blues Over Easy Jam at Kelly’s will feature: Stephen Jeremia (drums); Doctor Mike Ancona (bass); Mike Mastaler (keys); and Robert Ross (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, & harmonica). We will perform together for the first set and then open it up to some of the finest jammers in the county from 7:15pm to 11pm.
