Have a great week and if you can’t make any of the shows this week I’ll see you sometime down the road!

Talty's and some private stuff!

This past weekend was great! Sweet Melody's open mic on Friday and a wonderful graduation party on Saturday with childhood friends...Great weather too! This week is great because, although I have two private parties on Saturday and Sunday, Friday will be off the hook! Why? Because I'm playing Talty's (se crazy photo on the left)! As you all may know, Talty's is one of my favorite places to play! It is ALWAYS OFF THE HOOK! The place is so full of friendship and fun! The owner sings and dances on chairs with me and the crowd really gets into it! I hope you can make it!

Here's the info:

Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., S. Buffalo. 825-9279. Friday, June 10 at 9:30 PM

If you're in town I need you to do me two favors...

1) enjoy this amazing weather!

2) Come to Talty's on Friday!

Have a wonderful week!

Sunday's Show at Templeton Landing was off the hook! Now I'm playing there every Thursday!

2011-05-30T11:18:00.004-05:00

Yesterday I played Templeton Landing at the Erie Basin Marina. It looked like it would rain so I asked everyone to

think good thoughts and make a "friendship umbrella" with their minds...corny, I know...well...It rained everywhere except over my head. Dry from 3 to 6. At exactly 6 it rained and everyone helped with equipment. It was one of the best shows in years!

The crowd was so into it which, of course, fueled my desire to connect and put my heart into it. It was amazing. Everyone so appreciative, swaying to the music and smiling. What a great day!

Looks like I'm going to be doing "Thursday at Templeton Landing" every Thursday fro

m 6:00 to 9:00 PM...More of an "Adult" Thursday in the square. Come down to the waterfront and enjoy yourself...it really is amazing!

Click here for more information about Templeton Landing!

Happy Easter and my last show in WNY until June!

2011-04-19T09:05:00.003-05:00

Just a note to tell you that I am playing a show at the wonderful Sweet Melody's on Transit Road this Friday. It is my last show in Western New York until June because I am doing a series of shows in Wildwood, New Jersey (the Jersey Shore). Click on the link for more information.

Happy Valentines Day! Or Wow, it's cold! Would help warm me up?

2011-02-06T13:40:00.004-05:00

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all well and, if you are in Buffalo, New York, I pray you are bundled up and able to still have a smile on your face amidst all this frigid weather! This week is awesome becau
se I have two really great shows. The first is the South Buffalo Valentine's/40th Birthday Bash and the s
econd is the Southtowns Valentine's Day party! Friday I'm at the off the hook Talty's (Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., 825-9279. Friday, Feb. 11 @ 9:30 pm.)! I LOVE playing there and if you've ever been to one of my shows there you know why! They are amazing! Dennis Talty will dance on the bar,
people join in and sing along, guest musicians...you name it! What makes this night extra special is
it is our Valentine's Day party for all you sweeties and longtime friend, Renee Dolinar's 40th birthday bash! It is going to be off the hook. If you know Renee come out and celebrate. If you don't know her come and show support for a friend and join in on the sweetie celebration. Here is the good news...

IF YOU WEAR RED THAT NIGHT YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING. THE WINNER WILL GET A FOUR HOUR SHOW THIS SUMMER FOR FREE. I WILL PLAY YOUR SUMMER PARTY FOR FOUR HOURS. YOU CAN HAVE IT AT HOME OR TALTY'S OR THE LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE! JUST WEAR RED AND COME GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS!

The second party is another amazing event! Saturday I'm at the beautiful Papa Jake's in Springville (Papa Jake's Saloon. 243 West Main St., Springville. 592-9400. Saturday, Feb. 12 @ 9:00 pm.). Papa Jake's is owned by my great friend Chris Walters and the bar/restaurant has to be seen to be believed. It is beautiful old brick with a huge bar and dining area...Papa Jake's is having their St. Valentine's Day party on Saturday so if you have a sweetie (or are looking for one ) Papa Jake's may the place for you! It's a nice drive down the 219 to Springville. Come out and have a ball!

So here it is again:

Talty's. 2056 South Park Ave., 825-9279. Friday, Feb. 11 @ 9:30 pm.

Papa Jake's Saloon. 243 West Main St., Springville. 592-9400. Saturday, Feb. 12 @ 9:00 pm

Have a blessed week and I promise I will play my heart out for you when you come to either (or both) events!

Peace,

Gregg

2010-09-07T18:37:00.004-05:00

The front dining room of Sweet Melody's

It's not too often that I come across a place that I cannot wait to play. Last week's show was incredible! It was more like a theater in the round setting. I was able to talk about music and the setting was much more intimate. People laughed, cried, talked....it is very rare that one of my shows takes on that type of atmosphere and I am so happy it did. Check out my show this Friday, September 17 at 7:00. You will REALLY like it!

Here is the info:

Sweet Melody's
8485 Transit Rd.
East Amherst, NY 14051
Tel. 716-580-3227
It's located right at Millersport and Transit

I play on Friday, September 17 at 7:00 PM. I'll go until 10:00 PM. There is an amazing array of food and also a wine and beer bar. You have got to check out the gelato though. It is sinful!

Check out Sweet Melody's web site for more info at: Sweet Melody's

See you Friday, Sept. 17 at 7:00 PM!

Every person in PJs gets drink specials and prizes are given out for various categories (coolest, sexiest, etc.)!

The party should not be missed! Talty's is ALWAYS a great event for me but Friday's Pajama Jam will be especially "off the hook!"

I'll be wearing my pajamas and I look forward to looking over the crowd while singing and laughing, crying, choking and shaking because of some of the pajamas I'll see!

Talty's, Friday, August 20 at 9:30...PAJAMA JAM 1....Be there!

I will perform all the Billy/Elton hits I can and maintain the high everyone will be feeling right after a Joel/John concert! So come down to Benchwarmers right after the concert on Tuesday, March 9. Even if you don't go to the show, come to mine! You'll have a great time singing along to songs like Piano Man and Crocodile Rock. I can't wait! Benchwarmers is a wonderful downtown bar with an awesome stage, great food and plenty of space. It fits right into the Cobblestone District in Buffalo. If you haven't seen my Billy Joel/Elton John tribute now is the time to catch it. You'll love it!
