Pre North & South America Tour Trip around Memory Lane
Part Two - USA East Coast - November 2017
Steve in New York
Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown
I'm for sure looking forward to gigging on the East Coast and walking those streets once more...
It'll be fun to play on Staten Island. I hear you can arrive there via a fabulous scenic boat ride past the Statue of Liberty! Just a stone's throw from the hub of Manhatten, there'll be all the excitement of New York City, which we enjoy every time - a terrific buzz. Bruce Willis tends to show up at our NYC shows, so you might spot him in the crowd too...
We then head on to Collingswood (Greater Philadelphia) where we'll play two nights to the fantastic local crowd! The beautiful Scottish Rights venue has an amazing energy. It's a Masonic building and reputedly haunted by a previous owner. You can sense a presence. The vibe of the place is strong, and the sense of a phantom being at large seems to give the music even more power!
Our final East Coast gig destination on this tour will be Tarrytown, not far from NYC but in a wonderful picturesque spot on the Hudson River - perfect place for a weekend get-away! The whole vibe of Tarrytown, including the venue, is a turn back world. I love playing in the Music Hall. You feel you're transported to another time... Then you just might spy that headless horseman on your way home, for here you're at the gateway of Sleepy Hollow, which inspired one of the spookiest stories...
Full of atmosphere and history, the East Coast always beckons, and I look forward to being welcomed once again by its vibrant spirit...
