Chewey opened up the night with an early set. Followed by Eric Hart who's stuck in the dog house again. We saw a couple of firsts tonite.
First time I ever saw Berkeley play "Plugged In" sacriliage! He was demonstrating the sonic differences of Sean Fullertons awesome Gibson guitar plugged in and miked up with a Shure SM57. The tone was infinately better unplugged and miked to our ears. Sean went on to play some instrumentals that way. Nice! We even "allowed" him to play the blues! Miguel Melendez played a new original that was fantastic! Tom Ewart did my favorite version of Over the Rainbow. Rich AD Leufstedt did Christmas toons. The thing I like about the Ship is you can stop, and experiment. No pressure to "perform" It's a free-form format. Come on down and try it yourself.

That was interesting.
Tonight (11/28/2007) was an eclectic mix of players and audience. Eric Hart launched the ship with cover tunes and some of his great originals. Jim Lloyd made his second appearance on the ship and was well settled in. He's developing nicely. Stalwart Tom Ewart does a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace using harmonic tones. Then, we were oncec again graced with Ringer, Sean Fullerton who is honing a new solo carreer. Rich A/D Lufstedt hit the deck with stuff he'll be preforming this Sat. at the Hotel Vernon Holiday Uke Bash. Jim Berkeley Played Banjo Uke and guitar with a great mix of tuneage. He'll be doing a solo concert at the Ship room on Sat Dec. 15. BE There! Next up, Chewey with his own interpretation of musicality. Ari closed out the night But wait....theres more!.......... Sean Fullerton needed to noodle out a brand new tune on his Uke. There was a crowd of young girls and they swooned over him so he hung in there and played till way past midnight. Thanks for that Sean! Also In the audience was Lou Falcone and Jeff Chapman of the Mason Tyler Trio (my favorite oldies band). Next, the Holiday season begins. Come on down and see what happens next....

Tonite we competed with the Red Sox first World Series game at Fenway. It was a blow out...For both events. Sox crushed the Rocks and players at the Ship Rocked the boat. Eric Hart played some new originals and brought a drummer for emPHA sis. Then Gary Simpson took the wheel with a nice Martin guitar borrowed from his son. Then, occasional player and GREAT song writer Paul Richardson wowed us with his latest originals. Just Great! Rich Leufsteadt filled out the set with some not ready for prime time music on his Uke. Stalwart Tom Ewart joined Rich for some duets and smooth, solo guitar work. Great team of Mike and Amanda were next. She's got a ripping vocal style and Mikes guitar accompanyment complimented her nicely. We ain't seen Funky Mark in a while and it was great to have him back. Tom Ewart hopped back up on stage and did a few sweet tunes with the Funkman.
By now the Sox were beating Colorados ass 13 to 1 and when mighty Jim Berkeley took the helm we were ready for a great closing. I even got a chance to acompany Jim on Black Mountain Rag. Wikkid fun! Jim played about an hour and a half. You can read about it here, butt, it's better to Be there to see and hear for yourself. Next Open Mic Wed, Nov 7, 2007 BE There!!!!!!!!!!!

A No show and a late arrival made for an Interesting night of shuffleling the players list. I stepped in to play what was more or less an extended sound check. Miguel Melendez show up early to play the 8:00 slot along with Tom Ewart. T-Peavy stopped by on his way home from work at Union Music. Ship Room Newby, Rufus Leaking stepped up next and did a good set. Rufus has a great voice! Worcester Magazine sent in a top reporter to cover the night for an upcoming article. They interviewed Deb Baron of "For Love or Money" Tom Ropers new guitar set-up sounded really nice. Monique was next. She brought her own special brand of music to the helm. She also brought her own very enthusiastic audience!
The night ended in the steady hands of 2 time Turtle Boy Award winner Jim Bekeley. Those of us who hung around late got the 5 cent tour of the Hotel Vernon Speakeasy with owner Bob Largess. Way Cool! The Ship Room just keeps getting more interesting. Get on board!

Wed, March 14 Open Mike on the Ship was just great! Two time slots were open and luckily at the last minute two players stepped up to save the night. First up was newcomer Kevin McHeough. Kevin has this Downeast flair and was a refreshing addition to the night. The other last minute player was Adderth Life, a regular patron at the ship. He got up and did some classic appegios on the house piano. Later in the night first time player, singer/ song writer Paul Richardson stepped up to the mike for his first time ever. Paul has a great voice and he has strong potential for a sucessful musical future.
Tom Ewart & Migel Melendez did their excellent guitar duo performance. Mike Finneron came in with new confidence and took charge of the stage with a raucous set. His voice was strong and confident. Dave Blodgett delivered a good set of acoustic classics with the help of Rich Leufstedt on bass. Jim Berkeley blew in and closed out the night with uncompromising flair on his guitar, harmonica and a mandolin version of "Sweet Child of Mine" I only wish he had more time to play one of my favorite songs of his "Chicken Hawk" Next week is already filling in. Get on board before this ship leaves the dock.

The Feb 28 Open Mike Nigh on the Ship was full of surprizes. Naragensett beer reps were there with promotions and give-aways. Then new comer Michelle Lewis got up and played the fisrt set. Michelle had just flown in from a 13 day tour on the west coast. She is a professional peformer and was Great! A hard to follow, I was next and my being only a casual noodler on guitar sounded pretty weak in comparrison. Luckily, the rest of the players picked up the night. Another newcomer, Dave Blodegett gave a stand out performance. Great to have the regular players also who are so supportive to the Ship.
Next weeks already filling up. Sign up Now, before you miss the next time slot.

NO pay for this gig. This is strictly a charitible endevour. We help keep the Vernon afloat and they give the room for Free. The musicians are the benifactor in this arrangement. So "Come Play" and reap the benefits

Another good night on the Ship.
The Feb 21 show was a great!. There was a good attendance of audience folks to enjoy the night. New comers Mike Finneron and Chuck were on hand to liven up the night. Returning player Carolyn brought a great set of George Harrison tunes and stalwart, Jim Berkeley was once again terriffic! After hours, a Hotel Vernon resident stepped up to the piano and played a great set of classical piano apeggios. Who woulda' thunk!? All-in-all another great night on the Ship. It's Your turn next. Sign up Here for a Feb 28 set. Dana Lewis
