The GIG LIVE

11/14/2024

If you missed Danny Coleman's ROCK on RADIO podcast last Sunday evening, you can still listen to it on the Deko Entertainment web site (https://www.dekoentertainment.com/rock-on-radio). Appearing on the program were Nicholas G. Koontz and David Uldrich of The GIG USA, LLC (TheGIGusa.com) and Eddie Testa of The Eddie Testa Band discussing The GIG USA's Rockumentary "Hey, I'm From Freehold Too!" - An Evening With Eddie Testa And His Band! The conversation was lively and interesting to anyone wanting to know more about that sold-out show and how it all came together. Details about where and how to see the performance (TheGIGLive.com) along with how to obtain the live soundtrack recording (TheGIGusa.com) of Eddie Testa's original music were discussed, as well as how you may be able to win a free ticket to the show, a copy of the soundtrack recording, or a discounted ticket to the show, if you weren't one of the lucky winners.

This song was written and inspired by my single days partying on Christmas Eve with my best friends Frank, Joe, Munson, Scott, Evan and Kuban. Thank you boys, you're getting Coal for Christmas!

I'd like to thank my wife and kids for giving me the best Christmas present ever and allowing me to do this for 3 months.

We hope you enjoy it. We wanted to spread some Christmas cheer during these crazy times in the world.

Special thanks to Tommy Jannarone and Johnnie Bee at Bar Anticipation & Kyle Brendle & The Stone Pony for allowing us to film!
