Bobby Henrie & the Goners formed in 1985 when Bobby Henrie, along with Brian Williams and James Symonds decided to start a Rockabilly band and capitalizing on their respective years of musical experience and skill. The group plays authentic rockabilly and roots rock’n’roll in the tradition of musicians that defined the genre in the 1950s; Carl Perkins, Roy Orbinson, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Burnett. In their lean trio format, the Goners are respectful of the music that preceded and influenced early Rock’n’Roll and are equally comfortable with country, blues, and swing.

3.20.24 – Wed. Happy Hour – Some Ska Band 6-8pm
In October, 2011, five scrappy musicians formed a band with one simple dream: to pull off the biggest diamond heist the world had ever seen. In the process they discovered a shared love of ska. They started covering early ‘60s classics as well as 2Tone and Third Wave tunes before writing their own original songs in a contemporary ska style. Soon the band was playing gigs across the region and opening for bands like The Pietasters, Pilfers and Bim Skala Bim. In 2018 the band released a self-titled, 9-track CD and in 2021, played the Supernova International Ska Festival.

Over the years new musicians joined and others moved on, but the band has remained true to its upbeat ska roots. In 2020, Tricia Lynn Gonzalez, cat burglar and lead singer with the legendary 90s band The Miggedys, joined the crew. Today Some Ska Band is a tight, 9-piece outfit, and while they have yet to pull off that heist, they’re keeping busy packing dance floors and recording your new favorite songs.

SOME SKA BAND. 6-8pm. 3.20.24. Record Archive 33 1/3 Rockwood St Rochester NY 14610

3.21.24 – Wed. Happy Hour – CMD CD Release Party 6-8pm
Rochester, NY – One year ago, local jazz trio CMD released its debut album, just a song…, containing 11 finely-crafted re-imaginings of iconic hits. Now, the group announces its follow-up CD, just another song…, a brand-new collection of 14 recreations from three veteran and seriously in-sync musicians. When pianist Casey Filiaci, bassist Mark Terranova, and drummer Dave Cohen first got together less than three years ago, they had no preconceived notions about what they would play. “All we knew for sure is that we wouldn’t be playing jazz standards,” recalls Filiaci, who – like Terranova and Cohen – had “been there, done that” all too often. All three have extensive credits playing almost every genre of music. What happened was a rare bit of magic in any musician’s life – a spontaneous musical melding that just felt “right.” As they improvised on Filiaci’s creative rearrangements of favorite classic rock, R&B, and pop songs, the group’s unique voice quickly evolved into something they named “Common. Music. Different.” “We knew we had to start recording this stuff pretty early on,” says Terranova. “There’s just something very special about what happens when we play together.”“Maybe it’s partly due to a level of maturity and respect that comes from so much combined playing experience – we’re able to really listen to and support each other,” adds Cohen. “It’s such a pleasure for us and audiences seem to enjoy it just as much.” Like the first CD, just another song…was co-produced, recorded and mixed at Rochester’s renowned Studios at Linden Oaks by Steve Forney.It opens with “Witchy Woman” (The Eagles) and ends with an original by Filiaci called “New World.” In between are “The Boys of Summer” (Don Henley), “Woodstock” (Joni Mitchell), “Riders on the Storm” (The Doors), “Green-Eyed Lady” (Sugarloaf), Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles), “Old Man” (Neil Young), “There is a Mountain (Donovan), “Who Will Buy?” (Oliver), “Fragile” (Sting), “My Favorite Things” (The Sound of Music), “Breakdown” (Tom Petty), plus a bonus track: an alternate version of “Who Will Buy?” Says Filiaci, the trio’s founder: “CMD’s intention is not to confuse or impress. It is only to offer another look – to tell each story in a different but credible way. We wish for the listener to feel as well as to hear; the only requirement is to listen. And there will be no quiz at the end!” Just another song…is available today for download on all streaming platforms (including Spotify and Apple Music) as well as CD purchase on CMDjazz.com. CDs will be for sale at a free CD release event at the Backroom Lounge @ Record Archive on Thursday, March 21 from 6-8 PM, as well as in local music stores.
