Gilly’s Presents, “The Shane Douglas Band”.
It was a full house at Gilly’s for the Shane Douglas Band, and what a band and a great sound came from this American band all the way from Tennessee. Shane Douglas is the front man from Nashville and is the, vocalist and lead guitarist; the drummer is David Fontana,son of DJ Fontana who played with Elvis Presley,Also from Tennesee. Lenny Grasso is the Bassman who lives in Lieper’s Fork, Tennessee and the rhythm guitarist is Brian Martin who also adds quality with his harmonies. Their opening song was a blues song called, ‘Free Born Man’ followed by ‘Wabash Cannon Ball’, I remember Lonnie Donegan singing this one.
There was an Elvis medley in there with, ‘The Train I Ride’,’ That’s All Right Mama’ and My Baby Left Me’. Yes folks a great band that was made welcome at Gilly’s CMC in Westgate Common WMC…
