Josh Thompson & Chris Cavanaugh -
December 13, 2011
Alligator Alley @ The Country Castle in Kissimmee
 Several hundred fans of New Country Superstar Josh Thompson and supporters of Missing Person Michelle Parker turned out to raise $$$ for Parker’s Children.
Michelle’s parents and family where on hand for the event which included a meet & greet with Thompson and an awesome night of Country Music from Hazzard County, Chris Cavanaugh, Thompson and a solo acoustic artist who’s name escapes us at the moment. All this brought to you by Eagle Rider Motorcycle Sales & Rentals of Orlando on Sand Lake Road across from Florida Mall.
Many of you are probably wondering, Josh Thompson who??? Well let’s just say he’s one of the hottest voices on Country Radio today. With such hits as “Beer on the Table,” “Blame it on Waylon,” “Sinner,” “Way Out Here,” “Won’t Be Lonely Long,” “You Aint Seen Country Yet” and his newest single “Comin Round” off his recently released CD that’s already getting steady airplay. If Thompson can keep this up he’s gonna be a force to be reckoned with in the music business. Over an hour and a half show and Thomspon absolutely killed it on stage at Alligator Alley. Opener Chris Cavanaugh’s music would definately be worthy of checking out too. He also put on a great show.
Please keep Michelle Parker in your hearts and let’s all hope for her speedy return to her family and children. If you have any info on this matter please call Crimeline at 800 423 TIPS.
Looking forward to may great events at Alligator Alley on US 192 in Kissimmee. Check out their great Bike & Ladies Night now on Wednesdays. Don’t forget about our friends at Eagle Rider Motorcycle Sales & Rentals of Orlando for all your motorcycle needs. |
Van Halen to Perform at New York’s Cafe Wha? This Thursday

Journalists across New York have been invited to a Van Halen concert at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village this Thursday. Though nothing is official, word is the band are going to perform a 45-minute set. The group hasn’t played in public since the end of their 2007/’08 reunion tour with original frontman David Lee Roth, though they have been rehearsing for their upcoming world tour at the Roxy in Los Angeles for the past few months. A new album is in the works, and a new image released by the band has the date 2.7.12 on it. A new video and single is expected to hit sometime this month. The tour goes on sale January 10th.
The 250-seat Cafe Wha? may seem like an unlikely place for Van Halen to launch their new tour, but the club has an important family connection to David Lee Roth. His uncle Manny Roth owned and operated the venue, providing a stage to then-up-and-coming acts such as Jimi Hendrix, Bill Cosby, Bob Dylan, Richard Pryor and many others.
While the Van Halen camp has been extremely quiet about the band’s plans for 2012, they recently put up a giant billboard in Times Square and teaser footage showing the band rehearsing at the Roxy. They have also given the fansite VHLINKS two exclusive videos of the band reminiscing about Eddie Van Halen’s old Volvo and judging wet T-shirt contests back in the Seventies. The site also says that a “trusted source” tells them the band has been “busy booking rehearsal space and hotel rooms for the band and their crew for [this] week in NYC.” |
