Moon, Tune, June...

Sorry, just went to Tin Pan Alley for a moment...

In Mighty No-Stars News:

Last Friday's gig at Alternative Brews (one of Western New York's premier Blues & Roots venues) was our last for awhile-- the end of a 6-month stint as one of Alt-Brews' monthly house bands. We hope you made it out (it was a great time), and we hope to see you back there in the Fall. Paul (Alt-Brews owner and entertainment impressario) uses the Summer months to try out new bands, so if you visit Alternative Brews frequently, you'll be seeing some new faces over the next few months. Please do continue to support Paul; Alternative Brews has been a great supporter of the Blues and local live music for many years. In fact, they just celebrated 11 years in business with a full day of music, barbecue, and mayhem (not sure about the mayhem, but it sounded good). Congratulations go out to Paul and family, and to all of the Alt-Brews staff for a fantastic 11 years. God Bless, Good Blues, and may you have many, many more!

Our Doctor of Organology, Mr. Guy Nirelli, was unable to attend the festivities, so we had the pleasure of working once again with the incredibly talented J.J. "The Jet Plane" Moscato. J.J. "threw down" on vocals, organ, and piano, and he is a wonder to watch and listen to. Check out his website (www.jjmoscato.com), see him with Kate Engler, JPG (the Jack Prybylski Group), and with his very own band, Blue Avenue. We just found out that J.J. and his group will be appearing at a bluesfest in Lansing, Michigan, and have booked some club dates there as well, so look out, Detroit, J.J. The Jet Plane is making a musical straffing run, and ya'll will never be the same! You can also dig J.J.'s soulful vocal stylings on (former No-Star) Jack Prybylski's latest CD (available at www.jackprybylski.com).

The Summer concert calendar is filling-up quickly. Check out the home website (www.mightynostars.com) for all of the latest info on upcoming Gregg Juke & The Mighty No-Stars gigs. Sign-up for the e-mail list, and you'll always know what's happening!
