The Mannish Boys Are Rescheduling This Friday's Show At Smokey Joe's

Hello all-

The Mannish Boys have had to bow out of Friday's show at Smokey Joe's, due to an attack of the stomach flu. Temperance League is stepping in, and will bring the Rock. Sidewalk Bob still opens at 10pm, and Temperance will provide anything but at 11:15pm. Five bucks provides you with all of the merriment and wonder for the evening. I'll also be on hand for any of your questions about the book, or anything else. Look for a list of upcoming Mannish Boys shows in the next post. See you there, stay healthy, and rock on,

Jake Berger And The Mannish Boys Are Back in 2018!

Some of you have been asking when I will be getting back to booking shows like the 60s Rock & Roll Reunions. After the successful Double Door Inn anniversary show, I’ve decided to give them another round. Charlotte’s own Mannish Boys will lead the local charge back to the garage, with shows at Smokey Joe’s on February 16th, April 27th and July 6th. Book co-author Jake Berger, Rob Thorne, Greg James and JC Matlak will bring all of your fave garage rock, psych and R&B. And Charlotte’s own Sidewalk Bob and Mitchell Kearney will be opening the Feb. 16th show. Show begins at 10pm, and tickets are five dollars. 

But wait, there’s more! The Mannish Boys will be playing the Evening Muse on Sunday, March 18th for a special live recording event. Showtime is 7pm for this show. Get there early, get loud and make some noise, and you’ll hear yourself (and the band) on record, some (hopefully soon) groovy day. And yes, a certain photographer/show promoter/tambourine player will also be lurking about. Come by, say hello, and ask me if I’ve made any more progress on my next books. 

More on these, and more shows coming soon. Spread the word, and see you at the Rock Show.

News About The Bondsmen, Stars Of Our Book

Hi everybody. How are you? I wanted to share some photos from the recent Bondsmen reunion show, and some news. It was a great show, again, and I discovered that the band wrote and recorded a single (both an A and B side) in 1969 that was never released, despite one of the songs getting airplay. And from what the band played at the show, they sound fantastic. Hopefully, you'll get to this and more soon, as the band is currently working on their first ever album. More news soon, and I hope to see you all again in the coming year.
