Ott's II Saturday March 14th, 2009 'Josie's Debut'
|
Ladies & Gentleman, the Deck Band is BACK! After a two month
hiatus in which the band signed on JoAnne "Josie" McAllister as
new lead singer, they ripped up Ott's Tavern on the Green in front of
a packed house. With the services of Brian Hannigan on guitar and
Kenny Chann from Paradigm Music Management on sound, we
were all very pleased with the results and are looking forward to a
big year...
... Special thanks going out to all of our new potential DeckHeads, who came out in big numbers
for Josie's Deck Band debut. For more on Josie's story, check out her bio. For more on the
night's story, keep on reading.

The night opened up with a few Deck Band staples. The ever popular Breakup Song was the first
official tune, although Johnny Be Good during sound check certainly announced our presence.
Low (the first song ever played in a Deck practice) was next, followed by Josie's coming out tune,
Melissa Etheridge's Not the Only One. We were on our way...
