This gig featured the debut of “The MCats Power Trio,” since both Jon and I were unavailable. And the guys pulled it off! So we hear!

Eamon Tighe wears many hats for The MCats Band (lead singer, bass player, sound guy, treasurer), and we have never gigged without him! Tonight was the closest we came, as Eamon was fighting off a cold. I subbed on lead vocals for “Can’t Get Enough” and hope it was my first and last time! Rebeccca also sang “When Will I Be Loved” again – a fan favorite!

A fan’s wardrobe malfunction resulted in the abrupt cancellation of “Love Shack,” our audience-participation favorite. And Ken Berry, of Jibunu fame (https://www.jibunu.com/), joined us for an epic rendition of “Just Like Heaven.”

Oh, sure, we have a gig in Maine and the one Mainer in the group can’t make it! OK, technically, my son Sam is the only Heels Mainer because he was born there, but still! Jenstock 3 feat. epic ocean views!

Bob Adams, tenor sax, has been gigging with The MCats Band since we mutually discovered each other at Gig #21 in 2009 (https://www.mcatsband.org/59.html). Bob is a super talented saxophone player, and we always sound better with him, even if he doesn’t really like playing Tequila!

Westford’s Nashoba Valley Ski Area features The Outlook Restaurant in the winter, The Sunset Tiki Bar in the summer. Thanks to Rick Buchanan and the gang for having The MCats Band regularly at both venues!

MCats Gig #89.

The MCats Band (AKA The Iñforcers) rocked The Cavern Club at The Hard Rock Cafe Boston tonight! Thanks to Jon Oltsik and Enterprise Strategy Group (https://www.esg-global.com/) for hosting!

The MCats Band doesn’t usually rock ‘n’ roll in the am hours, but the Emerson Hospital 5K Run~Walk for Cancer (https://www.facebook.com/events/2130426733717419/) at NARA was a great event for our first morning gig! Thanks to John Koenig for the invite and for all who ran and walked to knock out cancer!

Here’s how we promoted this Saint Patrick’s Day Eve gig: “We’ll be rockin’ on, wearing green hats, and drinking green beer! Please also note the epic pano from Tony’s studio. Tony Caliendo (of Pink Void (https://www.facebook.com/PinkVoyd) fame) will be joining us on drums in Josh’s absence. We love you, fans!”
