Quickie Q'n'A w/ Steve Ewing
I'm somewhere between byside myself and over-the-moon about tonight's gig at the Old Rock House, featuring a ton of local bands of yore, in various forms. Steve Ewing, the organizer of the event took a few minutes of his day (on Tuesday, yikes!) to answer questions about this intriguing show.
How long has this show been coming together?
We have been talking about this for a long time and I got STL Sound to really help out on it and they thought is was really cool idea.
Who will take part?
We have various players from a lot of bands. Sinister Dane, Finn Bros., Unconscious, Orange Tree, Son of Starchild, Stranded Lads. I wanted to get the whole bands but it was impossible without a years notice on it.
Do you have a feeling that there will be a high school reunion feel to some of this?
I wanted it to have that high school feel to for sure. It will be a great networking tool for all those musicians who are still out playing these days. This is how bands get formed.
What's the Steve Ewing Band's role in the show?
Steve Ewing Band will do the host set first and the other acts will follow for a couple hours then we do a closing set.
Can you tell us anything about the Old Rock House?
The venue is beautiful: all the production is in-house and it’s in a good location. The bottom line is they cater to the musicians sort of like House Of Blues does.
