T'is the merry month of May and The Mighty Manatees are playing their 2nd outdoor show of the year this Saturday afternoon (May 8) from 1:00 to 5:00 at the Cabana Bar in Skippack, PA
www.bastacabanabar.com The show is part of the annual "Skippack Spring Fest".
The following Tuesday (May 11) The Mighty Manatees return to DaVinci's in Collegeville, PA www.davincispub.com for a special show for my soon-to-be-80-year-old mother ("Ranger Mom") who is flying down this week from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, just in time for Mother's Day. The show will feature our "out-of-towner" bandmates: Jason Crosby (keys/violin/guitar/vocals), Megan Palmer (keys/violin/guitar/vocals), Walter Tates Jr. (sax/vocals), Sistah Pat (vocals), and Kathleen Weber (vocals). Showtime is 8:30pm.
On Sat., May 15 The Mighty Manatees will debut at The Perk in Perkasie, PA.
www.attheperk.com Showtime is 10:00pm. Come see us work the Perk 'til they go berserk.
Manatee Fun Fact: Did you know that Manatees drummer Jim "Grampa" Cavanaugh can play King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" PERFECTLY? It's true! Click here to watch & listen:
