Michael Locke — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:08:27 +0000

Hi Repeat Offenders Everywhere,

I want to thank everyone for helping me celebrate my 100th Birthday on the road. The Band & I had a real Blast!

Theres so many people to thank, Im sure I’ll miss someone.

First of all , I would like to thank Tommy Castro & his band for always being so kind & supportive. They had me up at the Slippery Noodle on my birthday. Thanks Becky ,for the pictures. Next we played in Hollywood FL at The Flickerlite. There were almost 200 people there! No way I could thank everyone. But, Doug & Penny brought out the most friends. I think it was 24!! Off to Berts Bar & Grill in Matlacha, FL (one of my all time favorite places to play. I met my wife Kay there).Back in the Van, and drive like hell to do a radio show in Atlanta, GA at WRFG with A.J. & Blackjack. They are the best. Thanks guys! Hung out in GA to hear Damon Fowler. Great Player. Thanks for all the advice. Finally the last show at Zuffy’s Place in Atlanta. What a great bunch of friends.I cant wait to get back to all of the venues. I would also like to thank all the musicians that helped me out both here and on the road. Luke Piro, James Higgins, Stan Waldman, Steve Keith, Da’Rosa Richardson, Tom Rastikis, Ron Appleberry, & Reece Lincoln. Last but not least , my wife Kay & our family. PS- Thanks so much for everyone sending e mails, pictures, buying CDs etc… & Dana & Lisa,Mel, Jeff & Sharon, Johnny Danko & my new sis Sue for putting us up when we needed to eat & sleep! We Love You All!

On Aug 1st we will be doing a show at Gilly’s in Dayton, Ohio with Noah Wotherspoon. This is going to be a lot of fun. I hope all of my Ohio friends can see this show. Lets see if we can beat the Hollywood FL turnout?

Happy December Repeat Offenders Everywhere!

We are knee deep in new songs and recordings. Trying to get things ready for the holidays as well as the new year.

We have several great new players. DaRosa on Keyboards, Steve Keith on Drums, & James Higgins on Bass guitar. This is truly the Best Repeat Offenders Ever! So, with that in mind, we are shopping some new songs to the record labels, booking agents etc… as well as boooking gigs, gigs, gigs! Don’t miss these guys!

Personally, I would like to thank Tom Rastikis, and Jeff Smith for all their help in the studio as well as the song writing world. Thanks so much! If anyone is looking for a studio in the Dayton area, check out those guys!!

We will be opening the Blue Christmas show in Middletown on Dec 13th. (7:30). We are now playing EVERY wed at Laffs in Germantown, & Every Thursday at The Oregon Express. There are several new clubs we are looking forward to. ( One Eyed Jacks, & The Springs) & several Christmas & New Years shows, the first at The One More in Piqua, the second is the first time gig at Pacchia in Dayton for New Years Eve!

Hi Repeat Offenders everywhere,

It’s been a little while since the last up date, so just catching up with everyone!

First , I’d like to thank everyone for their support, as we won the Centerville Blues contest. LOL (personally, I think the other two bands were better)

Also, we passed the 5 year mark hosting the Blues Jam at the Oregon Express. Thanks, all you blues jammers out there. We had a blast at BB Kings, as well as the Slippery Noodle, and we played two new clubs. The first was in Pomeroy, OH called The Court Street Grill. It was a great club we would love to go back to. Second was the Springs, in Springboro, OH also, a lot of fun. We will be back there several times this month. (check the schedule)

We have also been doing some writing for the next CD. I’m hoping to release it late next year.

We have new products ie Bumper Stickers, as well as CD download cards whick you can only get at the live shows!

Here is a pic of the Newest Repeat Offender!

Till Next Time,

Michael

Mountcalm College Gig. What a BLAST!

Michael Locke — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:26:39 +0000

It was a real treat to play the Mountcalm College in MI this past week. Everyone we met was incredibly nice and supportive to me, as well as everyone in the band. We did two acustic shows and an electric show in the “Barn”. I feel like I met a ton of new friends. Thanks so much for taking the band in and making us feel so at home. Big thanks to Ken, Debbie, Brad, Everyone. You know who you were. I’m posting a few pictures today, & will add more this week. If you were there and want us to add your pics please send them to us.

Thanks again!
