Howdy, folks, and happy March to y’alls.  This Saturday, March 5th, there’s a benefit concert in memory of our good friend and client David M. Bailey who passed away last fall.  The concert features Peter Mayer, who was a good friend of David’s, and his band, and benefits David’s family.  Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, Peter is widely known as the lead guitarist for Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, as well as his own solo career.

The Peter Mayer Group will perform a special show, entitled, “What Will Your Chapter Be?” honoring and featuring some of the music of David M. Bailey, a brilliant songwriter and captivating performer, who moved audiences with his story of personal courage in the face of terminal cancer. On October 2, 2010, David’s chapter closed when he lost his battle with cancer, however, his message combined with Peter’s message remind us that we, too, have a responsibility to fill our own pages and write our own chapters. This promises to be an amazing show.  Please join us!  details:

ANDYMANATHON Benefit at The L.C. Nov 24th

Howdy, Folks!  Just lettin’ yalls know that a once in a lifetime event is happening Nov 24th, 2010 at The LC to benefit the Andyman Charities and Andyman Memorial Fund.  Five of Columbus’s premiere rock bands are playing a one night only concert on Thanksgiving Eve in memory of our dear friend, Andy “Andyman” Davis, WWCD 101 deejay extraordinaire who passed away this past summer.

For this once in a lifetime event, our dear friends in Howlin’ Maggie (a Columbus Ohio modern rock band that signed with Columbia Records and toured the country promoting their single “Alcohol” which was recorded by yours truly at OATH Studios) are reuniting to headline a show at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, Neil Avenue, in the Arena District.  That’s right, Harold “Happy” Chichester, drummer supreme and film soundtrack maestro Jerome Dillon, guitarist Andy Harrison, and bassist Jim Rico are joining forces once again to rock us all in memory of Andyman and in support of his surviving family, Molly and the boys.  Wow, are we excited.

We here at GBS Records will be manning the mixing board for the Howlin’ Maggie boys live set, as well as multi-track recording the entire show for posterity.  Tom is excited to dial in a sweet mix for his comrades again, as he spent several tours manning the faders for Maggie during their heyday, on tour with such acts as The Afghan Whigs and The Verve Pipe, as well as sharing venues on the summer music industry festivals with a vast array of superb acts like No Doubt and The Foo Fighters, and, well, let’s stop name-dropping, shall we, except to say that these festivals took place in venues like, oh, let’s see, is JFK Stadium in DC big enough for you?  How about The Fillmore, or Irving Plaza, or Prince’s 1st Avenue in Minneapolis, or the Palace in L.A.  Man, do we miss those tours!

Also performing at this event are five other of Columbus’ premiere acts, such as our clients Earwig, the X-rated Cowboys, and Watershed, as well as other Columbus luminaries Willie Phoenix and, get this, The Toll!  Yes, The Toll is also playing a reunion gig, after 20 years apart.  Oh.  My. Goodness.  Yalls don’t want to miss that.

So come on out for an amazing evening of some of the finest talent Columbus has ever produced and support the Andyman Charities to boot.  All acts are donating their time and love to this event.  Come share the love.

See yalls there!
