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.
