First Open Mic Night Attended by 15!
Open Mic Night has been a great success and an awesome time!
Every Friday is Open Mic night at the ROCK’n’BLUES Academy! It starts at 7:30 and goes until 9:30. Bands and Individuals may show up to perform or jam with other musicians. No reservation needed! It’s like having a party to go to every weekend! It’s a great time for students, pros, spectators and parents alike. Water, soft drinks and snacks are free with your $5 admission. That’s right- a big night out for only $5 each! That’s half the price of a movie and much better for you. This is a great performance opportunity in a fun-family-friendly atmosphere.

BBQ4GOD
If you like GOD, or you like a good BBQ, you will not want to miss the 3rd semi-annual BBQ4GOD in the ROCK’n’BLUES parking lot on Sunday March 21st from 12:30 to 2:00. Come hear Dave Shepard and the Blues Riders and a guest band perform and get a FREE lunch. No donations accepted!
St. Pauls Carnival a Success!
In spite of inclement weather, (rain, tornadoes, wind and other minor annoyances) the dedicated rockers of ROCK’n’BLUES took the stage and proved that you can’t keep a good rocker down! Once again, the equipment and performers got a little wet, but thankfully no one got electrocuted! 8 of our student bands and 3 solo acts performed. It was awesome!

Yankees at the Rock N' Blues
The Yankees came to ROCKn’n’BLUES Academy
Two pitchers from the New York Yankees filmed a TV show Friday 2/26/10 with Dave here at the ROCK’n’BLUES. AJ Burnett and Phil Hughes played guitar and drums with Dave. It was taped for a show called “Yankees On Deck” which is on the “YES” network available via Dish and Direct TV. Dave taught Phil how to play “Smoke on the Water” and AJ how to play “Sweet Home Alabama”. The pitching duo showed up in black Escalades with security and TV crew. They signed 2 baseballs, one of which was purchased at auction by Joseph Pica at the benefit concert for Haiti we participated in at Central Christian Church Friday night.

Don't Miss the Yoder Family in Concert, 2/19, 7pm
Come one and all to the ROCKnBLUES this Friday, 2/19 at 7:00 (or so) for a great country gospel concert by the world famous Yoder Family from Paris Texas. You will enjoy getting to know the Yoders and take pleasure in an excellent performance! There is no admission charge, but you may want to give a donation for the terrific work they do in Florida prisons, Nicaragua and all over America from California to Tampa Bay.
We are privileged to host this top 10 gospel at our little music school. Let’s pack the house and give them a warm ROCKnBLUES reception!
Haiti Benefit Concert a Huge Success!
Our Haiti benefit last Friday was a great success. Over 50 people attended and we raised over $700! Thank you for your support! Now we are collecting tents for Haiti. If you have an extra tent, even if parts are missing, the homeless in Haiti need every bit of shelter they can find. Bring it in to ROCKnBLUES. We will load it on a big truck at Tubby’s Custom Auto on49th St. near 60th Ave. The truck will be put on a ship and transported directly to Port-au-Prince. Your old (or new) tent will be used by orphans and displaced families to provide shade from the sun, shelter from the rain and a safer place to sleep!

Don't worry - we're still alive and kicking - we just moved to a new, larger location at 3226 Bennett St North, St Petersburg, FL 33713.
