June is bustin’ out all over!

We are going full tilt to get ready for our June events! To celebrate the lazy hazy crazy days of summer that are fast approaching, we are offering not one, not two, but THREE opportunities to see our latest songs and shenanigans.

Saturday, June 20: Blues Cruise Car Show 9:30 - 4:30 in Knowlton (off Exit 4 Route 80). This is our third appearance at this wonderful car show and we’re revving up all our doo-wop numbers. Jeff’s head is just a-spinnin’ from all the doos and dip-dips and dum dit-dits he’s turning out. Steve, Audrey and Ro are feverishly trying to memorize all the car parts mentioned in Shut Down and Little Deuce Coupe. We’ll be singing on and off all day. Come out and enjoy the great cars, great clams, great music, and free firetruck rides!

Sunday, June 21: Budd Lake Beach — We go on at 3:00 p.m., followed by The Fabulous Unknowns (featuring Ro’s husband Al Foster on slide guitar!). This is a fun venue, featuring a sandy beach on NJ’s largest natural lake (it’s not all that big, but it was made by glaciers! Talk about cool!) Free to Mt. Olive residents. Treat your dad to a fun concert at the beach for Father’s Day. Don’t forget your beach chair, sunscreen and shades!

Wednesday, June 24: Flanders Park — we go on at 7 p.m., but come at 6:00 to catch The Fabulous Unknowns! Free concert — bring a lawn chair, a picnic supper, and enjoy the show! Free!!!!!!!!

In other news, we are working on a few new songs, including a jazzy arrangement of Over the Rainbow, Shut Down (featuring Ro spitting out all those car words), and That’ll be the Day (a great belter that Audrey does impeccably). We also are finishing Seems Like Old Times, in a barbershoppy arrangement. Unfortunately the whole song takes about 45 seconds to sing and there doesn’t seem to be a second verse. Do we repeat the whole thing on Loooo? Do we write our own second verse? Do we do Ro’s harebrained idea of a segue into another song (unfortunately in a different key and involving a disturbing and ill-advised modulation)? Stay tuned!
