Gypsy Wisdom
Music That Lightens You Up!
By: Krista Doran
There are always new cover
bands joining the local scene.
Some offer much of the same,
while others add their own
touches and do something a
little different. It’s not easy
being “unique” when you are
a cover band. After all, these
musicians are playing other
people’s music. But there are
things a band can do to stand
out and when this happens, it
really makes going to see them
worthwhile. I have had the
privilege if seeing many cover
bands over the years and some
have been quite impressive.
In all of the years I have been
doing this, one band always
stands out to me. The music
is always spot on, with great
tempo and energy. The vocals
are amazing and sung with so
much feeling. The best thing
about it is the ambiance and
overall feeling that this band
sends through the air, as if
almost electric. The band I am
speaking of is no other than
Gypsy Wisdom!
GW erupted five years ago
when lead singer Courtney,
Danny and Joey left The Crew.
They wanted to put together a
band that would make people
stop and take notice and they
have succeeded! Courtney
explained, “We found John
Mangan sharing his skills as
a sub player in Philly. And
Joseph Horak was a Craigslist
scoop up as he was putting
it out there one more time
before hanging it up. It was
all so very meant to be!” They
play such an eclectic mix of
music, ranging from Elvis to
Taylor Swift and from Johnny
Cash to Aerosmith and The
Beatles to Nikki Minaj and One
Direction. This is a band that
is very strategic in what they
play and where. Courtney went
on to say, “Everything really
depends on the crowd. We try
to read the vibe. For a lighter
start maybe we’ll hit with a mid
tempo Maroon 5. If the party is
already good and warmed up
we might jump right in with a
high energy Bruno Mars. Ev-
erything in between is felt. We
feed off the fans and find that
rhythm where we can bounce
off each other. We’re a little silly
and spontaneous at times. And
sometimes we celebrate real
things like our friend, Raechel,
who lost her battle with cancer.
We met her beautiful smile and
her amazing family at a CHOP
event and made friends for life.
We have a picture of Raechel
at every show and when we
introduce her to a crowd, the
smiles light up. We have a
survivor in our guitar player, Joe
Horak, who is now in remission.
He is an inspiration to everyone
who watches in awe as he effortlessly rips solos night after
night.”
Something that truly sets
GW apart from everyone is
their genuine belief in how the
power of music has the ability
to lighten up the hardest of
times. Courtney explained,
“We’ve learned the beauty of
the boomerang. What we put
out comes back to us. When
we bring our energy, our pas-
sion, and our smiles to a
stage, it all comes back
to us from a the dance
floor. We’ve shared
newly married couple’s
first dance bliss and
we’ve seen children and
parents smile through
their cancer battles.
The power of music
is undeniable and our
message is gratitude for
every moment that we
share with every person,
wherever they may be on
this journey.
Gypsy Wisdom is now
managed by The Pomponio Company, and are
playing in some very high
profile rooms such as
Seacrets, Tir Na Nog, The
Gypsy Bar, The Windrift
and Victory Beer Hall,
among others and will
travel to wherever the GW
love is needed! They also
play a lot of corporate
and private events as well
as weddings and keep
a very busy schedule!
When you see them, you
can tell how passionate
they are about music and
about each other. They
are true entertainers in
every sense of the word
and their music choices
will have you up dancing
all night long!
One thing is for sure,
once you see Gypsy Wisdom, you’ll be hooked.
They embody everything
that music brings in to our
hearts and in to our souls
. I highly recommend
that you check them out.
Please visit their website
at Gypsywisdom.com to
see their full schedule,
view their set lists, videos
and much more! Too
book them for your next
event, please contact

Steal Your Face
As fans of The Grateful Dead
celebrate the legendary bands
50th anniversary this year, one
local band keeps the long strange
trip going. Steal Your Face was
formed in 2006 and has been
growing their own legion of fans
for almost a decade. The band
consists of Paul Baroli Jr (bass/vocals), Garry Engel (rhythm guitar/
vocals), Curt Eustace (lead guitar),
Dan Galvano (keyboards/vocals),
Matt Ginsburg (drums/vocals). “We
started this band because we love
the music and the catalog of The
Grateful Dead. I would go to music
festivals and feel a void, missing
this music. I think it belongs there.
Music festivals have become a big
part of the culture of jamband music and if it were not for the Grateful Dead these festivals wouldn’t
be happening. It’s respect for what
they did and what their music
means to the thriving scene today.”, said the band’s founder Paul
Baroli Jr. Garry Engel, the band’s
co-founder and senior member,
saw his first Grateful Dead concert
on April 10th 1971 at Franklin and
Marshall College in Lancaster, PA.
Their youngest member saw them
in utero in 1989.
Based locally, Steal Your Face
has performed at venues and
music festivals spanning from
West Virginia to Massachusetts
and this Spring are traveling to
Hanover, PA and Narrowsburg,
NY. The band is celebrating one of
their favorite holidays with a series
of local shows they are calling the
“420 Earth Day Tour 2015”. Friday
April 17th at Nick’s Roast Beef
Cottman Ave. Saturday April 18th
at The Churchville Inn. Thursday
April 23rd at Ardmore Music Hall.
Friday April 24th at Triumph Brewing Company of New Hope and
Saturday April 25 at Jersey Pub
73 in Palmyra, NJ. The band will
be making their 5th consecutive
appearance at The Pennypack
Park Music Festival in Northeast
Philadelphia on Wednesday May
13th.
Steal Your Face will be performing at the Thursday Night Local
Music Series Hosted by Out on
the Town Entertainment Guide at
Chickie’s & Pete’s on Roosevelt
Boulevard May 21st. Find out
more about Steal Your Face from
their official website www.StealYourFaceBand.com. You can follow

‘So You Think You Can Sing’ Contest
at the all new Maggie’s Waterfront
The fourth annual ‘So You Think You
Can Sing’ contest is going on at the all
new Maggie’s waterfront in northeast
Philly hosted by Nick and Dominic from
Stem and Shon from Dirt Road Anthem.
This is one of the best singing contests
around, starting April 16 til June 11 every
Thurs night at 9 pm. One winner will walk
away with $100 every Thursday and a
chance to come back to win $500 on June
11th at the finals. Every year ‘So You Think
You Can Sing’ keeps getting bigger and
bigger. In previous years we had some
celebrity judges like Columbia recording
artist Mark Evans, from Heavens Edge,
Singer/songwriter and producer Rod
Margolis , Mikey V from Out On the Town
and some of our friends in area bands.
We wanted to switch it up, so last year we
had the audience judge. It was crazy; so
many people came out to support their
friends and had a great time. For the
contest, you can either sing karaoke, play
guitar and sing, or sing acappella. It’s a
fun night! Maggie’s has expanded and
is much bigger now with soon to be roof
top seating, as well, with 42 beers on tap
plus craft beer and a great menu. If you
haven’t been to Maggie’s waterfront café,
you have to check it out!

Cappy’s Cafe’
Full Throttle Pub Grub with Roundhouse Ron
food choices, well then you must be talkin about
“Cappy’s Cafe’”.
When I walked into “Cappy’s Cafe’” I was kinda
excited to see my boy “Chef Pete Yearwood”
coming out of da kitchen to greet me. If you keep
up wit my writings & follow my vast foodie articles, you will know I have reviewed “Chef Pete’s”
offering at another Irish pub grub eatery. Damn,
what a perfect professional chef he is with a
vast knowledge of food & how to mix his cosmic
world of flavors. “Chef Pete” has been serving
the NE Philadelphia area for over 21 years now
with his expertise of tantalizing our taste buds.
Since I worked my butt off at work all day, it
was defiantly time for a few adult beverages. No
fockin way, the 2 amazing female mixologists
behind da bar are both seriously good friendz
of mine. WTF, I have been doing dis way to long
when you start knowing everyone working in da
bar biz (LoL). These 2 goddess are none other
than my gurl “Krazy Tattooed Chrissy” & “Luscious Lauren”, let da good times roll my little
party people.
Starting our pub grub review right now with

Talk about beginning your island cheeseburger

right into a “Classic Cheeseburger”, it had all the
makins of a wonderful classic. We have here a
nice juicy 80/20 patty, covered with sum melted
American square on a toasted Kaiser roll. The
freshly sliced tomato, lettuce leaves & pickles
definitely brought this dish home for a burger
freak like me. Did I mention the crispy golden
French fries that are to die for here at “Cappy’s
Cafe’”? Good stuff ;-}
What happens when you take large cooked
shrimp, wrap them up in bacon & then cook
these creations to a perfect ending? The answer
is “instant insanity”. That’s exactly what I was
thinkin when these “Bacon Wrapped Shrimp” hit

into a zingy house honey mustard sauce, OMFG,
Yes, Yes, Yes, I will be back for these plated pork

Wrapping up my “Cappy’s Cafe’” experience I
also got to have da pleasure of chowin down on
sum delectable finger licking “Buffalo Chicken
Wings”, sum wickedly spectacular “Butter

“Chicken Fries”. No lie my wacky foodie freaks,
all of these dishes were totally outta bounds wit
sum krazy good full flavors, along wit customer
satisfaction from both “Mike” & “Chef Pete”.
Thankz my brothers, I thoroughly enjoyed dis
chow down culinary explosion.
“Cappy’s Cafe’” has to considered one of NE
Philly’s great pub grub food eateries, I seriously
was blown away by a few of these flavor town
adventurous selections. When you think about
the quality of these culinary dishes & then check
out how affordable each plating financially is, it’s
a fockin awesome deal, especially for a blue collar working stiff like me. It is a good place for a
quiet lunch or a wonderful dinner during the day
or evening hours.

High Tides Restaurant, Bar & Banquets
DininG ArounD TowN with Roundhouse Ron
Sit right back & please let me tell you
a short story about 2 amazing young
men who had a freakin awesome idea
about building a super restaurant/bar
establishment along the Neshaminy
Creek in Bensalem, PA. Yea, my boyz
“Bill Rushton” & “Paul Stopyra” made
their lifelong dream come true with
what we all now know as the “High
Tides Restaurant, Bar & Banquets”.
This ultra modern facility is nestled just
off of Route 13 (Bristol Pike), on Totem
Road, west of the Neshaminy Creek in
beautiful Bensalem.
The “High Tides Restaurant, Bar &
Banquets” has a huge parking lot with
an easy access boat ramp & floating
boat docks for all boaters to enjoy as
you are on the local water ways. In
fact, I do believe the Neshaminy Creek
feeds into the Delaware River which
provides waterway access for all boating traffic. When pulling up, you can’t
but notice the amazing exterior entertainment deck with a full service bar
that is open during the spring, summer
& fall (as long as the weather permits).
This has to be the largest outdoor waterfront view deck bar in Bucks County
& Silly Philly.
As I continued my journey inside, I
was totally thrilled by how every last
detail was finished off with top quality
construction items, from the humongous granite like soapstone countertop
bar, the highly polished glossy concrete floors, to the luxurious seating &
the durable table firmness. One of my
personal favorites has to be the relaxing cascading water feature behind the
main bar. When you stop by the “High
Tides Restaurant, Bar & Banquets”
please check out the world famous
1,350 gallon salt water fish tank, this
aquatic wonderland is like 15’ long, 3’
wide & 4’ high, all while being crystal
clear see through from the front dining
room into the banquet hall. This super
oceanic tank would even make my wild
dudez “Wayde King” & “Brett Raymer”
of “ATM Aquariums” in Las Vegas so
freakin jealous.
Being in the entertainment/restaurant/bar field, you get to know a lot
of fabulous people. This trip down
memory lane was no different here
@ the “High Tides Restaurant, Bar &
Banquets”, cause working as hard as
she always did behind the bar was my
girl “Valerie” (my bartender). She rocks
this place as a hero mixologist with
her side kick “Phil” (bartender), as they
create sum alluring libations. Checking
out the professionalism of staff members such as servers, bartenders, bus
boyz, line cooks & sous chefs, is also a
big part of my “DininG ArounD TowN’
Foodie Reviews.
When sitting down to check out the
all new “High Tides Restaurant, Bar &
Banquets” menu, I found the selections to be mouth watering & also
extremely difficult to just pick 1 entrée.
Knowing me, like you all do, I had to
pick a few main dishes to get the full
experience.
Walking up to my table was a very
attractive female with a “High Tides”
shirt, as she got closer I noticed it was
“Jessica” (my server). I am not gonna
go krazy by giving her major gold star
kudos, cause she may just start to
blush again, but this girl was unbelievable. She was holding down so many
tables, while
still answering
all of my stupid
“DininG ArounD
TowN” questions
about the menu
items.
Over seeing the entire
kitchen, along
with all the “High Tides Restaurant,
Bar & Banquets” foodie selections is
my main dude “Executive Chef Joshua
Pham”. My man “Joshua” when to
my alma mater of “Jules E. Mastbaum
Vo-Tech” & was raised as a Mayfair
boy. As he was following in his father’s
culinary executive chef footsteps, he
worked his way up from bus boy, to
dishwasher, line cook & now executive chef in his own right. “Joshua”
has an awesome wife (“Mya”) his rock,
along with 3 beautiful children, 2 gurlz
(“Tiana” & “Oliva”) & 1 boy (“Alexander”). As I was talking to him, I could
tell dis chef not only luved his job as
head chef here @ the “High Tides Restaurant, Bar & Banquets”, but he also
adored his familia as a proud husband
& dad.
When at a very unique dining establishment like the “High Tides Restaurant, Bar & Banquets”, I just hadda
start off my culinary adventure with
sum tantalizing seafood. Let’s dig right
into a large rectangle plate of ocean
fresh “Calamari”, lightly battered, fried
to perfection, seasoned with Old Bay
& accented with chopped roast peppers, spinach, tomatoes along with a
homemade marinara. This plate was
so colorful & I completely luved the
flavor combinations that “Executive
Chef Josh” added to the calamari as it
all pulled together in a wonderful bite
fresh out of the sea.
Keeping with tradition, I was thinkin
about trying the “Tomato Basil Salmon” as my 1st main entrée? WoW, is all
I can say my little mind freaks, as the
“Tomato Basil Salmon” was placed in
front of me, it was so perfectly cooked,
topped with a fresh tomato basil, while
being served with a cauliflower puree
& a fried polenta to make this plate
complete. If you like or crave a nice
piece of freshly prepared & flawlessly
seasoned salmon, then you will simply
luv this dish & you should get your butt
over to the “High Tides Restaurant, Bar
& Banquets” as soon as possible.
Another one of my favorite proteins
has to be chicken, so, next order of
business was the “Stuffed Chicken
Marsala”, served with 2 pieces
of seared chicken breasts, with a
mushroom, crispy bacon & sundried
tomato sauce gravy, all over a bed of
homemade mashed red bliss potatoes
& numerous charred grilled asparagus spears as a side. Not only does
the “High Tides Restaurant, Bar &
Banquets” have outstanding seafood,
but, their other entrée plates are also
served with professional culinary tender luving care that will take your taste
buds to an all new high tide.
My hat goes off to “Executive Chef
Joshua” & his entire kitchen staff,
specially my boyz “Sous Chef Victor” &
“Pantry Chef Pudge”. You guyz got this
thing all wrapped up with sum krazy
good hard core culinary masterpieces.
Keep up da good work!!
Don’t take my word as gospel, stop
by the “High Tides Restaurant, Bar &
Banquets” with either your familia, your
friendz or fellow coworkers. Every plate
is made to order with daily ordered
fresh ingredients. This relaxing eatery/
bar/banquet facility is a full throttle
crowd pleaser for all ages, while also

Around Town at Maggie’s Waterfront Cafe with Dirth Road Anthem - April 11th
Photos by Mike Vagnoni
We made it a point to check out Maggie’s Waterfront Cafe on a Satuday night April 11th and
Dirt Road Anthem the modern country rock band was in the house. Packed crowd that night and
the sounds of modern country was heard at Maggies. One fun item, the owner of Maggies is the
drummer in Dirt Road Anthem *Kevin Goodchild and we also got the band on video and placed
it up on Instagram and FB. These guys have it down big time, great band for country rock! Here
are some photos. Also that night between the sets of the band was DJ Jimmy Palumbo. He was
playing everything under the sun - music wise. Visit Maggie’s Waterfront Cafe located at 9242 N

In The Piggy Bank
By L.Ramage’
Economic times getting to you and
your family too? You’re not alone! We
here at OOTT however are out and
about and seeing and hearing of different ways and tips to help you all save
money and put those few saved cents
Back “In the Piggy Bank.”
Thrift stores are popping up right and
left! There are more average folks and
“not so average” gracing the doors
nonstop at so many of these money
saving Mecca’s! I have gotten more
deals then none shopping in various
consignment shops. My favorite is “Impact Thrift Stores” Located in Hatboro,
Montgomeryville and Feasterville, PA.
I’ll give you an example. I needed a
new Printer cable! Now If I had to go
to one of the office supplies stores for a
new cable it would cost Probably over
$10.00. I went straight to “Impact” and
in their used electronics department
found a used good cable for $1.00. I
have found brand new sweaters,coats
exercise clothes,etc. for under $5.00!
You have to look, Deals are there! Go
to their web sites and find when they
have specials! http://impactthrift.org/
Dollar Stores are also a great blessing! I can report that the dollar store
Migraine tablets are every bit as good
as Excedrin. The snack isle is a huge
savings versus the grocery stores!
Where I get all my cans of Lays Potato
chips $1.00 versus $1.59 in the supermarkets! The Greeting card section 2
for $1.00 another savings versus $2.00
anywhere else! Pet food also a big savings! Alpo Canned dog food 2 cans for
$1.00 where I’ve found the same can
alone for $1.00 at some markets.
Consignment Events- This is something new starting to Pop Up all over
Page 25
held in huge
venues with
new and used
items brought
in by vendors
just like you
and I! I went
to this one held
“Just Between Friends” geared for saving money on children’s clothing and
toys and bedding! I got 6 clean baby
blankets for $2.50! Here is the web
site for up coming sales! http://www.

Then for household deals this man
does clean outs “Richard Bastian
started a home organizing Company
called “Organizational Boot Camp and
what we do is de clutter homes and
take stuff out of their homes whether
its trash or donations and we can also
take to local charities and a lot of stuff
we take and designated for resale” He
has a 30,000 Sq. Ft warehouse full of
items at 955 River Road, New Castle
Delaware. From what I understand
he will have these events like “Just
Between Friends” events periodically.
Good savings and finds to be had!

MTV Artists Red Halo Really Shine!
By Kevin Law, Owner of PhillyRockRadio.com
Red Halo is a hard rocking band that
covers Classic Rock and delivers a solid
set of original material with Country,
Blues and Rock influences evident. They
hail from Shamokin, a city in Northumberland County, PA, which borders our
nation’s historic Coal Region. The strong
work ethic inherent to this part of the
country is in this band’s makeup as well,
and they demonstrate that by playing every weekend traveling throughout central
Pennsylvania and New York. It is great
to see that hard work has paid off for the
band as it’s earned them the title of MTV
Artist. They were recognized for two of
their videos, one of which is for a cover
of the 1991 Drivin’ N Cryin’ song, Fly
Me Courageous. Red Halo features the
dual guitar work of vocalist Lee Lentes
and Eric Metz, as well as the hard driving
rhythm
section of
bassist Al
Dobson
and drummer Troy “Floss” Hunt. They
are currently working on the follow-up
to their full-length album Here We Come
with the award-winning Andrew Chervak
of Midnight Studios in Phillipsburg, NJ.
In 2014, Chervak earned Producer of
the Year and Recording Studio of The
Year honors at the Lehigh Valley Music
Awards. Below is some of the interview
I conducted with Red Halo’s bassist Al
Dobson:
Tell me how the honor of being
named an MTV artist came about? It
essentially came about by promoting
and putting our videos out in as many
places as we could. We submitted it to
MTV through the proper channels. Then
of course, it had to meet the stringent
criteria that they have in video and audio
quality. You can’t put out something that
was homemade or poorly done. We were
fortunate to have two videos accepted.
So, it’s a nice feather in our hat.
Has the distinction been good for
the band in terms of bookings? It’s
definitely a head turner. It’s a differentiation that we have over most other
bands. If anything, it makes someone
who hears about it want to take a
deeper look. I won’t say that it doesn’t
have the possibility of opening some
doors for us, but we know it still
comes down to our music and showmanship. A video is an advertisement
tool. You still need the chops to be
successful and create a fan base.
What prompted the band to cover
Fly Me Courageous? It’s a great
song. When it was brand new back in
the early ’90s, Lee covered it in his band
Stranded. We decided to do it after we
heard it played on a few different radio
stations recently. We found it weird that,
out of the blue, it was played on multiple
stations after all these years. So, we
obtained the mechanical licensing to
legally cover it and put it on our album.
It’s really worked well for us.
You’ve recently played at The
Legendary Dobbs. What are your
thoughts on the Philadelphia music
scene? It’s actually something that we
as musicians from Pennsylvania strive
to be a part of because we’re not from
here. In Shamokin where we are from, it
is small town America with a lot of coal
region attitude. The music scene is essentially nonexistent. We have to travel
to play anywhere. It matters for us to
reach the maximum amount of people.
And we try to do that by performing
every weekend. We are ecstatic when
we get to play Philly and we look forward
to doing it many more times. We hope
to make it a second home. We all know
how dedicated and passionate Philly
fans are. So, if we make here, we’ll make
it anywhere.
Upcoming plans for the band? We’re
a few months away from the release of
our new EP, the title of which is still in the
works. I can tell you the songs on it are
10 times better than our last recording.
We’ve grown so much since we made
Here We Come. Andrew (Chervak) has
done a tremendous job with it. It sounds
so big and powerful. You can get a taste
by listening to our song Come On And
Be With Me. Aside from that, our plans
are to keep on touring and expanding
our reach. We’ll go anywhere and everywhere. And we will.

seem to be slowing down. Offering
a mix of Irish rock blended with
dance, country, rock, and alternative music, Jamison fans range
from 21-100 and not just Irish folks.
Their crowd participation mashups
of genres keeps these local guys
playing long after St. Patrick’s Day
ends in March. Most of their summer is spent playing some of the
best venues at the Jersey shore
like Keenan’s and Casey’s in North
Wildwood and LaCosta in Sea Isle
City. But fans don’t have to travel
toward the sea in the summer to
experience their shows. Locally you
can catch Jamison in regular rotation at Curran’s, Paddy Whack’s, Tir
Na Nog, and RP Mc Murphy’s.
On May 2nd, Jamison will be
headlining the 3rd year of The Philadelphia Fleadh (pronounced flah
and Irish for festival or festive occasion). After two years at Pennypack
Park, this year, The Philadelphia
Fleadh is moving to The Cherokee
Festival Grounds in Bensalem (1
Declaration Drive, Bensalem, PA
19020). The Cherokee Festival
Grounds is home to The Cherokee
Day Camp and sits on 15 picturesque acres along the Neshaminy
Creek. The Philly Fleadh hosts local
and international acts on 3 music
stages including The Mahones
who just finished their European
Tour with Dropkick Murphy’s. Also
featured at The Philly Fleadh is Kilmaine Saints, Birmingham Six, Ray
Coleman, The John Byrne Band,
Galway Guild and more.
The Philly Fleadh also has “Feis at
the Fleadh” a nationally sanctioned
competition of the area’s best Irish
dancers. There is also a ceili (pronounced Kaylee) which is an Irish
dancing workshop with traditional
music that invites everyone to join
in. There will be Irish vendors with
food, beer and apparel as well as
a kids’ play zone. Last year, The
Philadelphia Fleadh drew thousands from the area for this huge
one day festival.
What many people don’t know
is that The Philadelphia Fleadh is
produced by American Paddy’s, the
booking and production company
of Jamison’s Frank Daly and CJ
Mills. Throughout the year, the
guys in Jamison produce different
events in area that promote IrishAmerican culture for people of all
ages, but this is the biggest event
they do all year. Make plans now
to see Jamison Celtic Rock at The
Philadelphia Fleadh, you’ll be happy
you did.
The Philadelphia Fleadh will be
held on May 2 from 11am until 9pm
(with Irish dance competitions beginning a bit earlier for competitors.

AJ SLICK: THE MIRROR WOULDN’T LIE
AJ Slick has been playing music for over 30 years
in and out of the Philly
area. He has been on
national tours with major
names like Ritchie Havens,
Mike Cunningham (Dicky
Betts Band) and legendary
bluesman Sonny Rhodes
in 2005, opened up for The
Guess Who and toured
with a Tina Turner Tribute
Band. Through it all, AJ
Slick remains at the top of
his game when it comes to
playing music. He is a true
professional in every phase
of music. To stay relevant
he continues to update his
catalog and remains one of
the top attractions at local
bars and clubs because
of his ability to give the people
what they want to hear. He also
plays major festivals.
I first met AJ around three
years ago at one of his open
mic nights and soon became
fast friends. Since then we
both have evolved. I was very
fortunate to have AJ play on my
CD Waterfall released last May.
Since then we have continued a
great friendship that transcends
beyond music. So when Mike
Vagnoni asked me to submit
an article about AJ Slick I was
more than happy to get to work.
Along the way there have
been personnel changes as
there are in most bands. Bobby
Correa another long time Philly
area musician has rejoined the
AJ Slick band as the fulltime
drummer. Bobby has a long
resume in music playing for
Pretty Poison, Skeleton Crew
and Surf Zombies to name a
few. With Bobby’s powerful
drumming he gives the rock trio
a “big” sound. Along with Steve
K on bass, who has been with
AJ for 30 years, the AJ Slick
band is full of energy with more
of a rock edge. To hear Skyn-
Kircher
Entertainment
nard, Jimi Hendrix and now
Nirvana with the new lineup is
pretty intimidating to say the
least. Along with the cover sets
AJ plays original songs from his
own CD release from 2010 titled
The Mirror Wouldn’t Lie, available at his shows. In his own
music you hear all his influences
as he weaves them in and out
of his playing and vocals. Check
it out. Besides fronting the AJ
Slick band, AJ has a very good
acoustic trio called Slick/Martin/
Wolfe, with Bill Martin and Perry
Wolfe. You should check them
out as well. I’ve had the pleasure of filling in on occasion and
it is really a tight sound. They
have regular gigs every month
check them out on facebook.
Last summer AJ was invited
down to Nashville to meet and
jam with legendary Billy Cox,
former bass player for Jimi
Hendrix in the Band Of Gypsies
formed after Jimi broke up the
Experience in 1968. “It was
a great experience to actually
not only meet but jam with a
high profile musician like Billy”
said AJ when he returned from
his trip. “Billy had some great
stories from back in the day,
stuff like how they achieved certain tunings or arrangements.”
Jimi Hendrix along with The
Beatles are two of his biggest
influences.
To make a living playing music
full time means playing 5 to 6
nights a week. To help fill out
his schedule AJ Slick hosts
two very successful Open Mic
Nights. On Wednesday nights
the Rhawnhurst Café on Castor
Avenue in NE Philly and Sunday
afternoons at The Sycamore
Grill in Newtown, Pa. I’ve been
to a lot of open mic nights over
the last few years but these are
the most fun. Besides all the
musicians who frequently stop
out to jam and hang out, the
crowds come out to hear AJ
play. Most of his open mics the
bars are packed and they often
stay beyond closing. Stop and
think about what a compliment
that is when friends and musicians alike come out to hear AJ
play music and whoever else
pops in.
Join in the fun. Like the CD, The
Mirror Wouldn’t Lie. Follow AJ Slick

THE BUSINESS, EXPECT ENTERTAINMENT!
THE BUSINESS is a very
popular 11 member dance,
party, horn band that has
been dazzling audiences on
national TV and at concerts,
weddings, parties and nightclubs since 1987. From Pop,
R&B & Oldies to Standards,
Rock and Contemporary,
this band has been moving
dance floors for more than
two decades. Voted Philly’s
Best Band ten times by
70,000 local readers and the
only band in the tri state area
to place top five, eight years
running in the PHL17 Philly
Hot List Contest for BEST
WEDDING MUSIC, this past
year they deservedly took
the #1 spot!
Some other Accomplishments by THE BUSINESS;
They appeared in and
contributed music production work on ABC’s national
TV special Brides, A Tale Of
Two Weddings which was
watched in over 10 million households all over the
country. THE BUSINESS
appeared on the internationally syndicated series, Ed
McMahon’s Star Search and
again was seen by millions
of viewers all over the world.
THE BUSINESS wrote,
recorded and performed the
official fight song for both
the 1993 National League
Champion & 2008 World
Champion Philadelphia Phillies. In 1994, Those Phillies
Thrill Me was named by Out
On The Town Magazine as
one of the top five songs
of 1993 along with Hip Hop
A Billy, another Business
original.
Since those early days
THE BUSINESS has been
consistently performing anywhere from 80
to 100 gigs a year, approximately half of
them being weddings and the other half
being a combination of privates, clubs and
festivals. The band is very happy with that
percentage because even though they are
one of the top wedding bands in the tri
state area, they still love the high energy of
clubs and festivals. The band’s leader Dan
Vanore says it keeps the band on their toes
and brings that same kind of high energy to
every wedding they perform at. They have
also performed at The Apollo, Veteran’s
Stadium, Citizen’s Bank Park, Wells Fargo
Arena and The Kimmel Center.

Sixx Am. w/Apocalyptica at
the Electric Factory April 28th.
Seven years after it’s inception Sixx Am. is finally coming
to play a headlining show in
Philadelphia. The last time
they were in this area was for
Motley Cruefest 1 in 2008.
For a band that was originally put together to record
a sound track for Nikki’s
book “The Heroin diaries”,
they have done quite well for
themselves. The success
of the first record forced the
band to record their second
album “This is gonna hurt” in
2011 and “Modern Vintage”
in 2014. This was supposed
to be a part time project for
some friends who all had huge
day jobs. Nikki is the bass
player for Motley Crue and
DJ. Ashba is the current guitar
player for Guns and Roses.
which are too many to mention.
Some of the national acts THE BUSINESS has shared the stage with; Tony

Radio DJ Frank Cerami Hosts Thursday Night Dance Party,
Ladies Night, at the Buck Hotel in Feasterville, PA
Every Thursday night you can
dance to the sounds of the past
and the present at the Buck
Hotel in Feasterville, PA with
long time Philly radio DJ Frank
Cerami. Frank has made his
radio and DJ career by keeping
the dance floor packed, and
choosing just the right selection
of music, from Donna Summer
to Pitbull. See him Thursdays
nights at the Buck, where it’s
Ladies Night, every Thursday.
Drink specials for the ladies
include $3 domestic beers, $4
well mixed drinks, $5 house
martinis, all served from 8 to
10PM
Frank began his career in
Philadelphia radio in the 1980’s
joining Philadelphia’s Power 99
as Music Coordinator for the
station as well as hosting the
Saturday night live broadcast
featuring dance music from the
70’s and 80’s and broadcasting
live from Steven Starr’s Ripley
Music Hall on South Street, then
moving to the Trocadero at 10th
and Arch Streets. Frank’s show
continually ranked #1 in the
ratings until late 1988 when he
decided to leave Power 99 and
help launch a brand new station
in Philadelphia called Q102.
Frank was the first employee
hired at Q102. Most of the
music and the music direction
of Q102 for the first year were a
result of Frank’s influence and
based on his experience with
audience and music research
combined with being a club DJ
for many years. He was also
awarded numerous gold and
platinum records for his role in
discovering and breaking new
recording acts that later became
national hits.
In 1994, Frank began to host
a Sunday Night dance party
on Q102 called “The Back in
the Day Dance Party”
featuring music from
the 70’s, 80’s and early
90’s. The show was
first broadcast from a
nightclub called Gotham
located on Delaware
Avenue, then moved
up the street to Maui
nightclub and finally to
the 8th Floor night club
on Delaware Avenue.
Like Frank’s previous
dance shows, this show
continued to garner high
ratings and draw record
crowds, especially during its tenure at the 8th
Floor.
In 1999, Frank was
invited to bring his show
to 95.7’s new station,
Jammin’ Gold. The
show was moved to a Saturday
night but continued to broadcast
from the 8th Floor nightclub.
Frank later continued on 95.7
even though the format of the
station changed and it became
known as Mix 95.7. With the
format change, the dance music
now included current hits as
well as “Back in the Day” music.
Frank began broadcasting from
Michael’s Cafe’ in Bensalem,
Pennsylvania and he added a
second broadcast from Adelphia
nightclub in Deptford, New
Jersey.
With the demise of Mix 95.7,
Frank first moved his Friday and
Sunday night shows to 94.5 PST
and most recently, returning
to Q102’s sister station, Mix
106.1 where he began his live
broadcast at the Coastline in
Cherry Hill. 9 years later, his
Friday night broadcasts from
the Coastline continue to draw
record crowds and high ratings.
The one constant through all
his years in radio and the live
dance parties is his love for
music; especially dance music
(he also has a vast personal
collection of Rock, Jazz, Classical, R&B and Pop).
“I still get the same thrill
listening to a new Katy Perry,
Rihanna, Gaga, or Usher song
as I do when listening to a
Madonna song from a couple
of decades ago,” Frank commented. The other great
pleasure for him is meeting
thousands of Philadelphia
area residents over the years
who have enjoyed the music
featured on his shows and who
frequent his dance parties.
“Every week they’re all there,
from aged 25 to 60. After all
these years, I feel privileged
to still be the host for these
listeners and for making their
weekends something special
to look forward to.”
Frank spends his weekdays
operating his marketing/advertising company located in
Center City, Philadelphia and
founded in 1995.
