This Weekend and beyond in Key West (11/17--23/2022)<p>My good buddy Jeff Clark is back in town for a tour of gigs. The first time I came to Key West in 2012 was to play with Jeff Clark.

There were many chapters: gigs in Chincoteague, VA and Jersey Shore, then visit with friends in Philly, visits with family in Lehigh Valley, PA, more gigs at Jersey Shore, Bethlehem Musikfest, more gigs any Jersey shore, camping out with my sister two weekends in Delaware, gigs in DE and OCMD, Lots of surfing my new 9'6" SUP board, a little kite-boarding, 4 rounds of Disc Golf, Good times with family and friends, old and new... My summer tour ended in Chincoteague, VA, where I had the honor of playing at The Island Theater, Chincoteague, VA. It was the first time that I had been asked to play a theater as a solo performer. The show went well and the people of Chincoteague gave me a very warm welcome! After the concert, I decided it was high time that I do something about the roof of my van, which had been leaking for years and getting worse... It reached a critical point when buckets of water were coming through my van roof. The moisture getting into my van had been destroying my music equipment and personal belongings. I was constantly working to dry out my van. With hurricane IAN on the way, I decided something had to be done. So, I took the better part of a month to learn about auto-body repair and do the roof repair job myself. With the help and guidance of some amazingly kind and helpful people in Chincoteague, I was able to make the much needed repairs. Special Thank You to my good friends and fans Ted & Kaye Galletly for allowing me to find the time and space to do such a project in the comfort of their beautiful bay-view house in Chincoteague!</p>
<p>After a month hiatus from music biz, I am back in Key West and excited to get back to playing music with my friends! Here is what's coming up in Key West:</p>

<p>I am excited to announce a new weekly series!</p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Humpday Jazz & Blues Jam @ Scotty's Front Street Stage with Ross Brown and Friends</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular">Wednesdays 8-11p starting February 24th and going forward...</span></p>
<p>The concept is a community building event hosted by Ross Brown with a house band made up of a rotating cast of Key West's finest rhythm section players and featured lead soloists. The house band will play and opening and closing set. We will also open up the stage to feature guest performances by other musicians, horn players, vocalists, and rhythm section players. Drummers should bring their own sticks. Musicians should bring their own instruments and cables. Guitar and Bass guests should be tuned to tuner before coming on stage. Vocalists should bring their own mic (for COVID safety). There is a house bass rig and the house band will share backline (drums and amps) with honored guests. The vibe will be groovy Jazz, Blues and R&B... We want to encourage people to play Jazz, but the format will not be restricted. Blues and R&B, funk and the like is cool... If you want to come out and play, get there early, bring your axe, sign up on the list and talk to Ross. Come prepared with songs to play. We will do our best to work in as many players in as possible within a 3 hour timeframe. </p>
<p>Here is the line-up for our debut jam on Wednesday, Feb 24:</p>
<p>Skipper Kripitz - Drums, Vocals</p>

I will be playing 5 dates at Mojito Bay tiki bar in Put-In-Bay, OH. Then meeting up with my family in PA. We are heading to the Delaware seashore for a long-weekend family vacation. Then back to Bethlehem, PA to spend some time with family and friends and to enjoy and perform at the Bethelehem Musikfest (<a contents="http://musikfest.org/" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://musikfest.org/" target="_self">http://musikfest.org</a>) with The Philadelphia Funk Authority. Sometime in the third week of August, I will be headed south. Perhaps some gigs in the Wilmington, NC are TBA. Then further south toward the Charleston, SC area where I hope to find a place to stay in Folly Beach. Looking forward to plenty of surfing. Hoping to play as many gigs as possible, break into a new market, and make some new connections in the greater Charleston area. Please reach out if you know anyone in these areas who would like to book me as a solo. If the opportunity arises, we may even line up a mini-tour for SOUL BUSH.</p>Ross Browntag:rossbrownmusic.com,2005:Post/53326652018-07-05T15:18:16-04:002023-12-10T12:24:30-05:00SOUL BUSH's Last Run of Performances for the season<p>SOUL BUSH has had a fabulous first season!
