Shame on Me!

I made two errors in a recent email about the Legends Night event.

1. The event date is Saturday, May 3.

2. I misspelled Dan Hovey's name. And Dan has had quite a career.

After attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, he played with Root Boy Slim and Jr. Cline and the Recliners. He also held the guitar chair at the National Theater for a while, playing “Sweet Charity” and “Cats”. He moved to New York City in 1989 where he stayed for 15 years. He's worked with such artists as; Don Byron (Don Byron Plays the Music of Mickey Katz), Eric Anderson, Jim Allen, Ben E. King, Roscoe Gordon (Teeny Weeny Bit of Your Love) as well as his own bands. In 1999 he appeared on a Broadway stage about 470 times in the show “Swing!” where he was featured playing guitar and lap steel. The run lasted 14 months, and when it was over he played in other shows including Full Monte, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Aida, and Mamma Mia!

He decided it was time to return to his roots in Washington, DC when the live music venues started closing in NYC. He leads and/or plays with several bands in the area -- Dan Hovey & Bad Daddy!, GHz (gigahertz), Mary Ann Redmond, and hosts a monthly show at JVs called Lord of the Strings.
