Jay Madewell drumming in front of Feather's
Among the many cool things to check out during Urban Nights tonight, be sure to cruise by Feathers Vintage Clothing on 5th Street where Jay Madewell will present a street jam consisting of 7 different musical acts each backed by Madewell on the drums, an idea he got while hosting South Park Tavern’s Rock n’ Roll Play Date.
“For 8 months I provided a drumkit for others to use or I was available to sit in, my goal was to play 4-6 sets every Wednesday night to improve my drumming & help others w/their music,” says Madewell. He then devoted Monday nights to music sessions with other players, to develop the music. “I really enjoyed not having any idea what I was about to play at those open mics, yet I never felt as if I ‘fell on my face’ with any the songs. It made me fearless as a drummer. I’ve met so many new friends through this experience. I like watching how people react to the various players’ songs; all of the performers are unique.”
Madewell says he’s considering starting a new Rock n’ Roll Play Date, something we’ll look forward to bringing you news of here on DaytonMostMetro.com.
Here’s the lineup for Friday night:
6:30 Ed Pittman (former Toxic Reasons vocalist!)
7:00 Scott J. Lee
7:30 Bucketmouth (Michael Todd Morrow)
8:00 Asides/Bsides (Aaron Altman & Bryan Beaupre),
