Hey Everyone!! Please forgive all the posts concerning me adding photos to my past events.
I am working on reorganizing my photo albums to include cover photos featuring the event pages as the cover photos for each photo album.
When I do, though, it posts to my page, to let my followers know I've added photos to the respective albums but if I go to erase the post it then erases it all together defeating my purpose. Lol!
I do understand these posts can be annoying but please forgive me. I want my photo albums to be neat and tidy with their respective cover photos in place when available.
Some of the albums from the events actually didn't have "EVENT" pages to use as album covers but those that did I wanted to include them.
Ok, may you all have a great day and hey, check the photo albums out, they're filled with lots of great memories of each event I attended since 2012!! It's been quite a journey and oh the music the live music from these amazing musicians!! I'm one lucky woman to have had the opportunity to travel and enjoy all of these great events and meet so many wonderful people who I now treasure each and everyone of your friendships of not only the band members and venue owners and staff but also the audience members and friends and family of the band members etc!! Thank you all so very much and I'm happy I can share these wonderful memories with all of you in photos and videos!!
Take Care and Keep on rockin out there in the free world as Neil Young once said!!

To Partially Quote the event page: "This is your chance to witness a guitar virtuoso who's shared stages with the likes of B.B. King and Johnny Winter.

Expect a soul-stirring cocktail of blues, funk, and everything groove-worthy. Original tunes that'll make you swear they're classics, and classic covers that'll sound brand new to your ears.
And here's the kicker – while your soul gets fed with mind-melting guitar solos, your stomach can feast on the mouthwatering gastropub fare. Because let's be honest, nothing pairs better with blazing blues than our legendary craft menu."

Wow, our good friend, Scott Sharrard has a lot of traveling and terrific events lined up this year!!
Check this out!! Scott and Eldorado Slim have an event scheduled for January 23rd, 2025 at the wonderful venue Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, , NH!!
To Quote the event page: "Eldorado Slim a NYC-based band led by Little Feat guitarist Scott Sharrard, blends 1970s instrumental funk with spacey, improvisational grooves.
The six-piece lineup features top New York musicians, drawing inspiration from artists like Grant Green, Eddie Harris, Lonnie Smith, and Cannonball Adderley. The band’s sound is described as a mix of “acid funk and space spirituals,” with occasional instrumental interpretations of tunes from Sharrard’s work with Gregg Allman and Little Feat.
Eldorado Slim's lineup includes Latin percussion, Hammond B-3 organ, horns, and a rhythm section, creating a dynamic fusion of acid jazz, rock, and R&B. Sharrard, a Grammy-nominated guitarist and former musical director for the Gregg Allman Band, leads the band with his distinct blues-inflected guitar style. Eldorado Slim’s music evokes the groovy, analog vibe of the '70s, mixing jazz with “funky stuff,” as described by Maceo Parker.
The Box Office at Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering both in-person and phone ticket sales. You can purchase tickets by calling 888-603-5299 (ext. 1) or by visiting them at 135 Congress Street in Portsmouth, NH.

Scott Weis Band live at Glass-Wine Bar Kitchen, Ledges Hotel, Hawley, PA
Sharon Ruth Frantz came up with this concept over the past couple of years while attending many of the events that her favorite bands were featured at.
It was mentioned to her by two of her friends, Kira & Courtney, that she should start a blog or website dedicated to her favorite bands where she could share the photos and videos she'd taken while at each of the events and shows, and also where she could share all the info pertaining to them and also everyone involved in the music scene.
While attending these shows, she started to notice the true talent among the local scene here in Pottsville PA and also all over the states of PA, NJ, New York, etc.
Each genre has amazing bands, all waiting to be recognized.
The scene is growing and so is the talent.
Sharon and Pottsville PA Band Network are here to help not only local bands grow, but regional, state wide, world wide and beyond, as well as everyone involved with each show and to help them network with one another and also with other promoters in the area.
Pottsville PA Band Network is the place for bands to grow and we are always here to help!
I promote and market bands and musicians including both signed and unsigned.
My services include video production and photos of live shows, social media, and networking.
I've worked with Major labels and the bands/musicians signed with them such as : WindUp Records (Crobot), TeePee Records (Ruby The Hatchet), Ripple Music (Ozone Mama, Mothership), etc.
I'm currently working with and promoting the following: The Atlanta Cafe Band and more.
History
Pottsville PA Band Network was Established in November of 2012
I began by following my favorite band, Crobot to many of their live performances & taking videos. I would then publish them on YouTube. Crobot ended up loving the one set of videos so much & made me feel very honored by using them on their own YouTube page to show examples of their live performances. I also used my social media such as facebook & twitter sharing anything pertaining to the bands so as to advertise for them. Also traveling to many awesome venues, meeting the radio stations, photographers & tattoo artist that shared in this I started promoting their work & all the terrific venues as well. So, one day after doing this and it having such a good effect on promoting Crobot & all my other fave bands, venues, photographers, etc. someone suggested I turn it into a business. So, that's where I am now, I have many bands, venues, Photographers, etc, that I promote & am always looking for new talent to help get them the recognition they so deserve.
