SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH

9:00 TIM ANTHONY (SYRACUSE, NY)
"In the finest pop rock spirit this is a rewarding spin for melodic pop mavens. Beatles inspired songs that are hook filled gems. Future releases from this proficient tunesmith should be of great interest for pop rock fans." Herald Journal, NY "This CD is lush, full commercial pop which melodically, vocally and instrumentally likens itself to The Raspberries, Fotomaker and The Rubinoos. Excellent combos for sure!" - Bruce Brodeen, Notlame Recordings
