5/16/09 We Still Have Big Bells!

Maifest            Goebel Park Stage

What a night. Was it the crazy crowd? Was it the goettaball chunks in Vance’s beard? Was it the Beaver or Canadians? No idea, but it was fun. Ended our weekend with a total blowout at Maifest in Main Strauss and it was a blast. We had a crowd that was ready to dance the night away and we did the best we could to keep things moving. After a few odd gigs this was just what the SJB needed. Thanks to everyone who stuck around until the end. Very special thanks to our newest fans Jessie and Nicole!

5/16/09 The Time of Our Lives

International Friendship Park     Angelman Syndrome Walk

Brian, Jay and Greg played an unplugged set for the folks who walked and to honor the all the families. We played a few new songs (Puff, Mona Lisas and MadHatters, You Are My Sunshine) and learned a very special David Cook song for the event). Here’s what the folks from the walk had to say:

“What a magnificent and successful day for all of us to raise awareness and funds for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation! After our walk ended, the funfest began, from the Cincinnati food vendors, beverages and door prize drawings to the wonderful performance of the ‘Sullivan-Janszen Band’ who kicked off the perfect setting with songs they arranged just for our Angels!  Ending the day with the song ‘Time of My Life’ written by Reggie Hamm, who wrote the #1 hit last year for his Daughter, Bella, diagnosed with AS.  I will never forget those last few moments when we danced together with our children and Team in front of the band to that song!” 

It was truly an honor to play for them and we look forward to helping any way we can in the years to come.

5/15/09 Blimey!

Another Friday night at the Den. We had folks dancing and throwing down the drinks. We saw some great cougar moves in the crowd (and some not so great.) Thanks to the folks that dropped by to say hello and have a couple drinks. I hope the new folks who said hello will come out and see us some more – you guys were great!  

5/9/09 Whole Lotta Love

Mr. B’s            Upstairs Rock Venue

Well, that was different…we played our first show at the brand new Mr. B’s to a small but excited audience. Our last set was filled with more than 10 songs that we had never played before (many of those for good reason.) If you were there you know, if you weren’t you missed a good time and a really cool bar. Big thanks to Roger and Babs for the drinks. In case someone asks…yes we played Bon Jovi, Journey and Zeppelin all in one night (with a Ray Charles double shot for good measure!!!)
