UPCOMING

actually, this event will feature only three fourths of the Third Band... Dr Valenti has been called to Savannah on that date for a wedding. (We think he's actually going golfing.)

We're thinking of trying to get a bank to invest in our transportation to this gig.

What would you think of
3/4 of the 3rd band brought to you by 5th 3rd Bank?

JOEY DONOVAN, guitarist for the Third Band, writing this press release once again in the Third Person (what else?) has had the distinctive honor of being asked to perform with

DENISE MOORE http://www.denisemoorejazz.com/ (Denise Moore and Then Some) and MIKE CUSUMANO and GEORGE VALAES (Paul Wilborn & the PopTarts) and NANCY JOHNSON (Women's Blues Revue) on Mother's Day, May 11th 2008 at Skipper's Smokehouse.

This annual event

"TAKE BACK THE NIGHT"

is a benefit for 3 Tampa Bay Area domestic violence shelters-

the SPRING, CASA & the HAVEN.

Our band nom de jour is

"DENISE MOORE AND

THEN SOMETHING

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT",

or DMATSCD for short, although it is rather difficult to pronounce.

Yes, this will be something different than you are used to hearing from Denise and her amazing jazz ensemble. Hopefully Mike and George and I won't embarrass her too badly.

The headlining band and our host for the evening is the

WOMEN'S BLUES REVUE http://www.womensbluesrevue.com/, whose founder, Patty Sanphy has produced this event annually on Mother's Day since 1996. We're proud to be included. Please come out and support this important cause.

5PM until Tom and Vince toss us all out, which will probably happen around 9PM or so (if past experience is any reliable indicator)

$10 at the door, $7 advance
