We are counting down the hours ‘til Mike Packard  -- aka Schwack -- hits Witherbee’s Carriage House, tomorrow (Saturday, January 25th @ 7pm).

Mike, who hails from Glens Falls, is a true singer song-writer, as only America produces: raw, great melodies and each of his songs telling a meaningful story.

To get you in the mood, you can hear some of his tracks here.

And now for something completely different  -- over at the Black Bear Restaurant in Pottersville, it’s gonna be one big Saturday night dance party. This missive, from those Party Animals at the Black Bear:

"Hey ladies!!! We are going to have a Dance Night with DJ Phil playing!!! the rump-shaking songs you love! Bring your husbands and burn some calories with us! At 8 pm”.

Rump shaking – their words, not ours!
