Speaker 3 (10:58):
It's our Rock the food Bank episode of the local
Show on the River ninety seven to three. That's Brandon
Valentine's band right there, Cold Spring Union Chasing the Dream
and we open the show with Dan Kibler Mystery Girl.
Dan and Amy Simpson are going to open Rock the
food Bank with an acoustic duo set. It's going to
be awesome. Start tonight and you guys absolutely kick ass man.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
What do you say too?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Rock for country and two country for rock. That's You're everything.
That's right, you're all of that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You got it? Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
John Rossi on vocals there on that one he wrote
that one, Chasing the Dream. I am the drummer in
the band and do some backup vocals as well. But
gotta love the guitar solo in that song there, Chasing
the Dream, by none other than Cody Wilt. He's one
of those guys always say there's two types of guitar players, right,
One solos and never does the same thing and just
plays off field, and the other one rehearses and plays
(11:50):
it note for note. And Cold Spring Union is all
about the two frontmen in the band, both lead vocalists
and both lead guitarists. And is the one who will
improvise every solo, and Cody is the one who plays
it no for note every time and that solo and
that is Cody. So if you come out to Rock
the Food Bank Friday December, you'll hear it just like that.
(12:11):
We'll hear it no for note like that as Cody
plays with you. That's so awesome. You're gonna get a
lot of great guitar at Rock the food Bank. I
guarantee it. And now we've got our friends, the Swisher
Sweets on the bill as well, Philip Connasaro of course,
Steve Swisher swish Man, and the one and only Joey Dalto, Yes,
former lead singer of the Famous and he has a
(12:32):
solo album out there as well.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
I'm hoping that our daughter, my daughter Emily, can make
it in for that because she loves the Jellybricks Jellybricks
super fans.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It's important to mention too.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You mentioned, you know, one hundred percent of the proceeds
are going to the Central Pennslvania Food Bank. It's important
to mention as well. These bands are volunteering their time
and talent and effort to be on stage here, right yep,
you know. So it's not like it's one of these
situations where band's getting to cut at the door. Everybody
there is for the cause. Yeah, Excel Live. It's given
the whole door away too. You might have a service
(23:33):
charge on your ticket if you buy it online. We
can't help that, sure, but your twenty dollars portion is
going directly to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Next up, who's up next?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You know this band quite well here, Glenn, we talk
about them, We talk about the members right. As Glenn
mentioned earlier, this started as a side project for a
private party. And we say private party, but man, there's
a lot of people that fetch it July like five
TOI cutter people and it fetches front yard and backyard
right on Main Street in Anville.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You probably could have snuck in it maybe would have
been a little bit of a public show. I don't
know if they check, you know, the if you're on
the guest list at the front door. But either way,
this band has not performed in a venue open to
the public yet, so.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
At least at least more than a song or two,
I guess because technically you guys played on stage with
Brett Michaels up at Spyglass Winery in Sunday.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Eric Wersing, Eric Van Wersing played Eruption and then we
jumped on there with Brett's band, Brett Michael's band and
did ain't talk about love, which was just I mean,
that was a dream coming so cool. It's amazing, amazing,
and you rocked it. Man, you were super dynamic as
front man playing Dave David Lee Ross there wearing your
you know what do they call it the the.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, but like the you know, I didn't wear that.
You didn't wear no, I did that at Fetid July.
You got the glasses too, though. But here's the here's
the thing. Can I just say this about our van
Halen tribute. We're not putting on the wigs in the
in the you know, the jumpsuits and the spandex and everything.
I look at us as we're more like the two
thousand and eight to twenty fifteen van Halen when they
(25:14):
got Dave Back and Wolfgang in the band.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I reel like that era, which is like jeans and
t shirts, more sensible. And then it's all Halloween.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
You're not dressing up right right, It's all about Eric
Wersing's guitar playing. He has just got it down and
so we couldn't wait for people to hear Eric play
this guitar. It's also Fed Herb on drums, Mike Washkeovic
on the bass, and we do have Mike bits occasionally
with us on keyboards for a couple of the songs
that require keyboards.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Nice for van Halen.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
But here we go where I'm this is from FDJA
July recorded right off the soundboard by Justin Ershieth is
Eric playing eruption, and then we go right into You
Really Got Me, just like on the record, right it's
Van Wersing eruption and You Really Got Me live from
Fjja July.
Speaker 1 (25:59):

Speaker 10 (10:31):

Speaker 3 (10:58):
It's our Rock the food Bank episode of the local
Show on the River ninety seven to three. That's Brandon
Valentine's band right there, Cold Spring Union Chasing the Dream
and we open the show with Dan Kibler Mystery Girl.
Dan and Amy Simpson are going to open Rock the
food Bank with an acoustic duo set. It's going to
be awesome. Start tonight and you guys absolutely kick ass man.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
What do you say too?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Rock for country and two country for rock. That's You're everything.
That's right, you're all of that.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You got it? Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
John Rossi on vocals there on that one he wrote
that one, Chasing the Dream. I am the drummer in
the band and do some backup vocals as well. But
gotta love the guitar solo in that song there, Chasing
the Dream, by none other than Cody Wilt. He's one
of those guys always say there's two types of guitar players, right,
One solos and never does the same thing and just
plays off field, and the other one rehearses and plays
(11:50):
it note for note. And Cold Spring Union is all
about the two frontmen in the band, both lead vocalists
and both lead guitarists. And is the one who will
improvise every solo, and Cody is the one who plays
it no for note every time and that solo and
that is Cody. So if you come out to Rock
the Food Bank Friday December, you'll hear it just like that.
(12:11):
We'll hear it no for note like that as Cody
plays with you. That's so awesome. You're gonna get a
lot of great guitar at Rock the food Bank. I
guarantee it. And now we've got our friends, the Swisher
Sweets on the bill as well, Philip Connasaro of course,
Steve Swisher swish Man, and the one and only Joey Dalto, Yes,
former lead singer of the Famous and he has a
(12:32):
solo album out there as well.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
This is his number one hit off that album.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
I'm hoping that our daughter, my daughter Emily, can make
it in for that because she loves the Jellybricks Jellybricks
super fans.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
It's important to mention too.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You mentioned, you know, one hundred percent of the proceeds
are going to the Central Pennslvania Food Bank. It's important
to mention as well. These bands are volunteering their time
and talent and effort to be on stage here, right yep,
you know. So it's not like it's one of these
situations where band's getting to cut at the door. Everybody
there is for the cause. Yeah, Excel Live. It's given
the whole door away too. You might have a service
(23:33):
charge on your ticket if you buy it online. We
can't help that, sure, but your twenty dollars portion is
going directly to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Next up, who's up next?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You know this band quite well here, Glenn, we talk
about them, We talk about the members right. As Glenn
mentioned earlier, this started as a side project for a
private party. And we say private party, but man, there's
a lot of people that fetch it July like five
TOI cutter people and it fetches front yard and backyard
right on Main Street in Anville.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You probably could have snuck in it maybe would have
been a little bit of a public show. I don't
know if they check, you know, the if you're on
the guest list at the front door. But either way,
this band has not performed in a venue open to
the public yet, so.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
At least at least more than a song or two,
I guess because technically you guys played on stage with
Brett Michaels up at Spyglass Winery in Sunday.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Eric Wersing, Eric Van Wersing played Eruption and then we
jumped on there with Brett's band, Brett Michael's band and
did ain't talk about love, which was just I mean,
that was a dream coming so cool. It's amazing, amazing,
and you rocked it. Man, you were super dynamic as
front man playing Dave David Lee Ross there wearing your
you know what do they call it the the.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, but like the you know, I didn't wear that.
You didn't wear no, I did that at Fetid July.
You got the glasses too, though. But here's the here's
the thing. Can I just say this about our van
Halen tribute. We're not putting on the wigs in the
in the you know, the jumpsuits and the spandex and everything.
I look at us as we're more like the two
thousand and eight to twenty fifteen van Halen when they
(25:14):
got Dave Back and Wolfgang in the band.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I reel like that era, which is like jeans and
t shirts, more sensible. And then it's all Halloween.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
You're not dressing up right right, It's all about Eric
Wersing's guitar playing. He has just got it down and
so we couldn't wait for people to hear Eric play
this guitar. It's also Fed Herb on drums, Mike Washkeovic
on the bass, and we do have Mike bits occasionally
with us on keyboards for a couple of the songs
that require keyboards.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Nice for van Halen.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
But here we go where I'm this is from FDJA
July recorded right off the soundboard by Justin Ershieth is
Eric playing eruption, and then we go right into You
Really Got Me, just like on the record, right it's
Van Wersing eruption and You Really Got Me live from
Fjja July.
