Mini KISS will be performing at Ripley’s Believe it or Not Castle on May 26th!  Eclipse will be providing production so please come and join us.

 

Gregg Chirico put together a very special birthday package for his good friend Jack Gormley to help celebrate his 89th Birthday. Jack kicked butt on 9 tunes, all in one afternoon.  He said that he had waited until he was 72 to even start singing.  He did an outstanding job!

 

  Mike Elias, Joe Santana and the lovely Leslie

John Dickie added some tasteful guitar to his song “Ballad of Miguel”.  Take a look at some of his signatures on his Strat.

 

B:rady Green and Dave Besley.  Brady had a tough decision trying to decide whether to play through the ‘62 Princeton or the ‘65 Deluxe.  His ‘52 Tele sounded great through both of them.

Steve Bennett and Walt Kulwicki.  Walt was showing off his new 3 pickup modification on his Tele.

Eclipse produced the first of the series of Pirate Magic Tricks with William Mayhem, Pirate Musician of St. Augustine, and then we all went down to the HMS Bounty, where we shot more video (yet to be edited) and toured the beautiful tall ship.  Check out the video below:

We are so blessed to have the incredible St. Augustine Amphitheatre Venue.  We are especially fortunate to have Ryan Murphy and the talented management staff that brings amazing acts every month to St. Augustine.  This week the Beach Boys chose the Amphitheatre to film their 50th Anniversary Commemorative Concert.  Here are a few shots from the show including one of the many cameras that were constantly moving over our heads.  Watch for this to come up on TV you do not want to miss it!
