Head Honchos

Some pretty cool sheat went down tonight in Steger. This was the first time I had been to Austin Community Tavern. A biker type bar accepting all everything, as long as you enjoyed the beer, food, friendly environment, and most definitely the music. Failed to mention . . . great burger!!!

This was also the first time I have heard Head Honchoes. They've got that blues rock thang going on. And do not limit them to just that . . . imagine some funk thrown in. Each have their hand in the presentation for the journey they take you on. Mike Boyle I know, and it was very great to listen to him again. Rocco Sr. is very instrumental, helping you feel the music, taking his time when he needs to, and choosing what you will hear. Rocco Jr. well versed and with his own style.

I have to say that the band was great. However, who I really enjoyed was Will on drums. So fluid, so succint and artistic in his play, probably the most exciting drummer to watch that I have ever seen. I really enjoy this guy. Yet he does not take anything away from the band. He his just frick'n supportive of the music at any level, and including the band members.

Here of some photos. They really do not do the band justice.

Chris & Chad's First Date

So, this was the first time that Chris and Chad had ever played music together. I must say, you would not have known it.

As I drove up I hear some Peter Gabriel. Probably my favorite artist. Needless to say I had to hurry up a little before I missed it. No rehearsal, no set list to speak of, just down home jamming to some great music. Pure talent there.

Northwoods Falls had done an excellent job with their back deck and stage, using the woodland area as a backdrop. You can dine inside or out, and there is no cover to listen to the music!. A true supporter of our local music here in NW Indiana.
