Richland Academy and Bob Cox and Friends “2nd Wed. Live” May 13th, 7 – 9 PM

            

 Our regularly featured 2nd Wednesday Live will be held Wednesday, May 13th at the Richland Academy. The performance starts a 7:00 PM and runs until 9:00 PM. This month we will again be featuring tunes from the American songbook and some rhythm and blues and pop standards. Joining me will be our regulars, Dane Noe on keyboard, Henry Van Buren on saxophone, Damian Boyd on trombone, Dan Conwell on upright bass, and Jim Smith on drums. We hope you can join us.

 

During our 2nd Wed. April performance we were joined by two surprise guests. Dr. Tom Croghan joined us for two selections playing piano. Randie Kilgore also joined us for three selections playing harmonica. My sincere thanks go out to both of these guests. I’ve had many enjoyable moments in the past playing music with both of these gentlemen.

 

As I mentioned last month, we’ve had some requests for some tunes that feature the guitar styles of Chet Atkins, Merle Travis and Maybelle Carter. So, we will be including some of those selections as well. As always we will be playing selections featuring all our fellow musicians.

 

You may now B.Y.O.B. to the performance. We offer water, soda and snacks for a small fee. So, Please come join us Wednesday, April 8th at 7:00 PM for some great music and good fun. For more information call Richland Academy at 419-522-8224 or 1-877-522-8224. Richland Academy, “Your Center for Creativity” at the corner of 4th and Walnut St. was founded in 1991 and is supported by the Ohio Arts Council.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing a new venue for the past nine weeks. The Cabin Restaurant & Bar has hosted Bob Cox & Friends on Friday nights from 7:00 – 9:30 PM. The group consists of Dane Noe, keyboard, Dan Conwell, upright bass, Jim Smith, drums and me on guitar. We have also featured trombonist Damian Boyd of the  Richland Academy in Mansfield, Ohio and guitarist Andy Cary of Wooster.

 

We play tunes from the American songbook as well as some pop and rhythm and blues standards. I believe the atmosphere is a perfect match for the musical mood we try to create. I invite you to join us this Friday, May 15thth for some great food and good music. Reservations are a good idea if you want to sit near the music. The Cabin Restaurant is located on Hwy 603, four miles southeast of U. S. Route 30 and I-71 near Mifflin, Ohio. They can be reached at 419-368-4457.     

 

 

                1st Friday with The Caffiends at the Richland Academy  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

The second performance of the 1st Friday with The Caffiends series was held on Friday, May 1st. The event was attended by well over eighty people. The Caffiends played classic rock and roll from 7 – 9 PM. We had a fifty-fifty drawing for cash and a raffle for a Caffiends T-shirt. Like our 2nd Wed. performances we offer packaged snacks, soda and water. You can also B. Y. O. B. to the performance.

 

Our next scheduled 1st Friday with The Caffiends would fall on Friday, July 3rd. We will probably reschedule that performance due to the 4th of July holiday weekend. I will keep you updated in the interim. Most likely, we will do the 2nd Friday in July.
