CrossRoads Music: News

The new year brings a new time for CCM. From now on we will hold the show in the afternoon from 2:00 to 4:30 PM every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. We feel this better fits our down home country style and believe our community and surrounding area is in need of fun place to go on Sunday afternoon and meet up with friends and family while listening to some good country music. We hpoe this fits in with eveyones schedule and we do hope to see you there and of course, I'll still be cooking hamburgers, in case any one is hungry. Our first show of the year will be January 7, 2007.

We will be closed for the rest of December, but will open up with a bang on January 6, 2007. So make your plans, going to be a great show featuring Frank St.Clair & The GoodTimers. We will up date our guest list in a few days.

CrossRoads had two more great spots on CBS Channel 19 Live In The Morning with Kari Bellacosa, Brian Houston and Scott Fossey. Paul and Stacey Davis were featured on the November 20, and did a great job. And on November 27th, Michael Courtney was the featured guest. He not only had a great time singing for everyone, but had a ball teasing the staff. Not sure when our next date is going to be, but Frank will have to squeese one in somewhere.

The Pure Country Band is no longer playing at CrossRoads. Their fiddle player, Ronnie Wolfe, had surgery on his shoulder and will be out of commission for several months. They had a good run and we at CrossRoads wish them all the luck in the world. Get better, Ronnie!

GoodTimers are back with brand new members that really know how to rock the house. Micheal Courtney is playing lead guitar with exceptional ability and also has an amazing voice which he displays on his new CD "Michael." On the Bass Guitar is Rod Sherman originally from Laffette, La. who plays & dances around the stage with such gusto that it is really hard to stay in your seat. He also brings a little of Louisanna to the show with some great cajun songs. J.C. Authur rounds out the group on the drums and keeps everyone on beat. And of course, Frank St.Clair, the leader of the band, is there keeping everyone on the same page with his rhythm guitar and his great vocals.

Cheyane Smith from Ore City will be featured on CBS Channel 19," Live in the Morning" from 5:30 to 7:00 am on November 2, 2006. She is only 14 years old but can already compete with the best. And cute as a bug!

We had a great show Saturday night. We had a really up-beat audience that were glad to hear we had started serving hamburgers again. Troy Dean Kees rocked the house with some Marty Robbins, and Martha Melton soothed the spirit with some good ballads, but the highlight of the evening was the tribute to Johnny Cash performed by Frank St.Clair. He & Jannis Almand really set the audience on fire with their rendition of "Jackson." Pure Country did a really good job of backing everyone up and I know the guest singers appreciate them. And of course the bands special performance of good ole country music was enjoyed by all as always. Don't miss the next show on November 4th starting at 7:30.
