Rock-A-Way: 2007-12-15 at Mutineer (Wharf Lounge)

Someone suggested that I check out Mutineer Restaurant. Google'd it... read that it has a "Live Band" on Fridays and Saturdays inside its Wharf Lounge. Off we went, heading south on the Turnpike to find the band "Rock-A-Way." We had a blast enjoying their spirited classic rock and roll. Above, from left to right, we see Dan on bass and vocals, Lou Roberts on lead vocals, Danny on drums, and Wes on lead guitar and vocals. The stage was the darkest spot at Mutineer but I somewhat managed by shooting on manual at ISO 3200.
 

Lou did a super job on lead vocals, singing with precise timing, emotion, broad range and dynamics - and made it seem easy. He later spoke with us - we learned that singing runs in his family.
 

Wes's guitar magic dazzled. He's got timing, phrasing, intensity, you-name-it. He injected subtle musical humor just often enough to keep things lively.
 

Above left: Dan's artful but solid bass lines enhanced without overpowering and never veered off-course. Above right: an alternate view of the stage.
 

Danny gave a strong drumming performance, as he's a natural with a feel for percussion. He later came to our table and it was obvious that he loves his band.

Rock-A-Way does not have a website but it does have a phone number: 305-255-2956. This number is also used for Danny's business: Magic City Mirror and Glass.
