From Joey G. – Smashed Productions:

Everybody should be really proud(and tired) after the 2 great shows this weekend.  I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for taking this to another level yet again.  I think we really did take this to new heights.

I also think we are breaking down some barriers that our local music scene has had for a long time.  We have proven that a large group of musicians can really work together with out bloodshed and that we can make rock n roll fun for all ages.  I mean think about it.  When Gary stepped upon “Still got The Blues”, he brought 3 or 4 generations of people to their feet. That was truly amazing, I for one had goosebumps.

And I can tell you that doing what we are doing doesn’t happen just everyday.  Everybody on that stage captivated the audience and we gained the attention and respect of 350 people this weekend.  From talented seasoned musicians to our newbie Bryanna we have the most eclectic group I’ve seen on any stage.  I hope everyone understand that for me you guys are the tops and part of my rock n roll family.  We did a lot of good for the Strand and for the community, but just as important we gave back to the people and showed them what a rock show should really be.  Everyone in this group has a big heart and I appreciate each and every one of you for helping make my little idea a big thing.
