Free Beer News

New Beer's Eve
Free Beer goes to Po HO!

Picture
We have been requested by the folks at The Freighters to come to Port Huron and celebrate New Year’s Eve in the shadow of the Blue Water Bridge!  We will give you all details by next week but know that if you want to come out and not worry about driving back, it’s part of the Double Tree Hilton complex.    We'll be bringing plenty of our friends up for the night and we'll be glad to mix and mingle with the local crowd who've never experienced a Free Beer show.  Sounds like fun to us!!

COwley's for December 
First Friday

Picture
Another blast of an evening.  A little tamer than Thanksgiving Saturday but just as eventful.  First, Scott and Marcel debuted an awful acoustic version of Touch Me by the Doors for Joy's Birthday.  Then in set two Mark Druckmiller got up and did Mustang Sally and American Band.  The evening ended with an a cappella version of Alice Cooper's Be My Lover featuring Keith Tyler on Vocals.  It was a great way to end the year at Cowley's and we thank them for letting us play each month there.

BEERMAS is Back for year 12!

Free Beer, The Candy Band and Domino Effect
Rock the Updated New Way Bar 
Saturday December 14th
This is something we started as a way to celebrate the Holiday with the Candy Band and to add some oomph to the New Way Christmas Party.  It's a pretty simple formula.  Get your best friends from Royal Oak who are in bands, put them on stage, get all of your friends together and rock your socks off.  We'll it has worked for 11 years, why mess with success?So when Tina sold the New Way Bar earlier this year, we were all a bit concerned. 
In meeting with the new owner Jamie (and some prompting from the New Way regulars), it was soon agreed that BeerMas with Free Beer is something they needed to keep on the schedule from the previous owners.  He's even lined up the Ole Smokey Moonshine to come in with shot girls and free swag that night.  That might put a new spin on the night, eh?

We'll have the same lineup as last year, maybe with an additional guest or two here and there.
  • 9PM - 9:45PM  Domino Effect  Mike Wielgat and Jim Fox from Lawson Street bring their well rehearsed band in to kick off the festivities
  • 10PM-10:45PM  The Candy Band featuring Paula Messner, Anita Grilio, Daniella Burckhardt and Tammy Ristau play in front of the adults instead of the kids.  You never know what to expect ... last year they only played one Candy Band song and did an entire set of the RAMONES!!  Who knows what they have planned for this year
  • 11PM-12:45PM  Free Beer  One big long set of Free Beer, with our new X-Mas Songs thrown into the set.  Also, a place for the unexpected.  Last Year, Free Beer did two Candy Band songs, that's one more than the Candy Band did!!
It's the social event of the year on the Free Beer calendar.  Make Plans NOW!

Well ... that Sopped!

Free Beer almost drowned as skies open!
This was the moment we had been waiting for all summer.  The final time slot on Friday night at our favorite Arts Beats and Eats stage.  The Candy Band rocked out and finished up their set at 9:15.  Storms had been appearing on Radar all night long but really didn't look like they would threten our performance.  Scott's son Calvin even got to read the commercial credits in between  bands!  How Cool!  But just as the Candy Band was finishing their set, the storms took a right turn at Lapeer and headed south FAST.  By 9:30, it was thunder and lightning.  By 9:35 the first rain started falling and Roger the stage manager told everyone to take cover (inside Gusoline Alley!!).  2 1/2 inches of rain fell in the next hour, followed by a couple hours more! By 10PM, the show was cancelled.  It was a shame because there were SO MANY people we knew there and all they did was get wet.  Thanks everyone for coming out and hopefully we get the same stage and slot for next year.  

Allen Park Street Fair

Picture
ALLEN PARK MI AUGUST 3, 2013 -- A beautiful night to play 90 minutes of music for a lot of people.  We followed Paz's All-Stars on to the stage and played a lot of best songs.  We had plenty of special guests from the very talented community from Allen Park including Jim Flynn who played and sang Lonely Ol' Night and fiddled to Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.  Rick Shine from Mitch Ryder's band got up on stage and did two songs with us as well, Mustang Sally and Back in the USSR.   This year we got to play our whole set (no tornado warnings!) and Ray's Garage (an all Allen Park band) followed us instead of preceding us this year.  The photos were all pulled from video taken on site.  Want to see the videos?  Click here!

How to Catch A Canadian

Kurt does a Girly Shot!

See what happens when Emily sticks something hard in Kurt's mouth, and then the end of it gets all creamy and white, so Kurt rears his head back and swallows all of it, wipes the residue off his chin, just to lean forward all satisfied.  

Watch the video and see if we here at www.freebeernet.com have any part of this incorrect.

Enjoy!
