The show must go on, and it did. That’s just the way Joe Dady would want it. So, with all of us being stunned by the loss of Joe, Jeff Riales, Mike Wittek, and Dana fine, true class acts, took to the stage and delivered a wonderful show of Jeff’s original country music to an audience who was hurting from the loss of one of its finest musicians. With his southern drawl, Jeff’s laid-back manner and easy delivery brought smiles through the tears of many members in the house. Jeff dedicated a couple of songs to Joe, Handling this event perfectly. Along with their exquisite harmonies, Mike Wittek added some terrific lead work on his guitar and mandolin, while Dana Fine unobtrusively held it all together with some great sounds on the bass. These guys beautifully handled a somewhat delicate situation and started us all on a long road of healing.
Big thanks to Jeff, Mike, and Dana for a terrific show! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Brittany, Trevor, Julie, Chris, Sadie, Amy, Jasmine, and the rest of the staff at Rio for all the help you give us to make this event work! Big thanks to Scott Regan for promoting these shows on WRUR’s “Open Tunings!” Big thanks to you, the audience, for your continuous support of this venue! Without you, it would not be possible! Our next show will be on Sunday, June 2. Steve Piper, one of the area’s finest singer/songwriters, will be our guest in Quiote. Stay tuned for more details about this show!
