The ANDY PRATT, J GEILS perform at Kevin Visnaskas surprise 50th
Birthday Party
for Music Business Monthly
http://www.varulven.com/mbm/mbmfrontpage.shtml
A blues band performing Mott The Hoople is indeed a wonderful thing!
Guitarist Kevin Visnaskas was stunned when he walked into the Big Bear
Lodge
in Brookline New Hampshire around 7 PM, Saturday evening, April 10.
The parking
lot was jammed with cars to celebrate the half-a-century mark for "The
Installers"
guitarist. Vocalist Stephen Clark, bassist Marc Rines, the drums of
Jim Burns
along with second guitar Barry Callahan awaited the arrival of fellow
bandmate Visnaskas before the R & B/Rock/Blues outfit rocked the
house to open things up.
The band's producer, John "J." Geils showed up to much applause and
added even
more amplified magic. http://www.theinstallers.net/install2.html
Wife Lisa Visnaskas conspired with her husband's friends for months to
put together
the event. A beautiful Sitar was the key gift (along with the party)
for the underrated
journeyman who packed concert halls like The Commodore in Lowell and
The Paradise
in Boston in the 1970s and 1980s with "Eastwood Peak" and the "Andy
Watson Band."
Originally signed to brother John Visnaskas' Pure & Easy Records - the
label that
issued discs by MC5 Wayne Kramer, latter-day Nervous Eaters when they
were known
as The Reflectors along with Gary Shane solo as well as his work with
Shane Champagne, Eastwood Peak closed the show with a lengthy set of
material which
ran the gamut from Mott The Hoople's "All The Way To Memphis" to Bob
Seger's
"Fire Down Below". Between the appearance by J. Geils and the
reformed Eastwood
Peak came a four song set by Andy Pratt. "Pass Away" from the Perfect
Therapy album, The Beatles' "Fool On The Hill" (a tune rarely played
live by Pratt), "Avenging
Annie" and "Summer Summer" from his soon-to-be re-released Sony disc
"Andy Pratt",
were an extra special birthday treat for Kevin.
The music was non-stop in the stunningly spacious venue just
re-opening to music.
Manager Debra Lefebvre has a winner on her hands in this room with the
country music of The Midnight Bandits, the blues of Roxanne and The
Voodoo Rockers, and tributes
to the Police as well as celebrated Neil Young appreciators Rust Never
Sleeps all
booked. Longtime New England area sound technician/producer/recording
engineer Ben Chandler will be putting his sound system in the place, a
nice complement to his recently opened Studio Metronome, a state of
the art facility located in Brookline, NH.
The entire event was videotaped and a lengthier critique will follow.
