On Thursday September 2, 2010 at KRSH Studios, 3565 Standish Ave.Santa Rosa Ca. 95407 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

The C.T. CRUISERS will perform at the KRSH Backyard BBQ. For the first hour the Cruisers will back 5 outstanding local musicians. We have invited Cathy Slack, Jody Counter, Linda Ferro, Ron Lacey and Levi Lloyd to open the show.  

Cruiser leader Charles Thomas and vocalists Karen Mathre & Celia Peterson will come on stage to lead the Cruisers through the last half of the show. 

This will be a wonderful event showcasing some of SonomaCounty's most talented musicians. Beer & Wine will be on sale. Proceeds go to the local non profit corporation The Sonoma County Blues Society. There is room for many. Come early if you want to bring a low profile lawn chair and sit in front.  

The C.T. Cruisers are an 11 piece band consisting of Charles Thomas, Karen Mathre and Celia Peterson vocalists, Ron Lacey on Keyboard/vocals, John Ranis on Guitar/vocals, J.P. McLean on Bass, Mike Watermann on drums, Jane Fossgreen on Sax/vocals, Jim Passarell on Trumpet, Susan Copperman on Saxophone, David Schrader on Saxophone. 

Before the May 27 show was cancelled we had a series of rehearsals with our 'guests'. Everyone involved was excited about what we were hearing. We are so looking forward to sharing it with you.

Tune in to Bill Bowker's show on KRSH (97.7 FM) in the afternoon. He will have more information as our date gets closer. We will be updating the event on Facebook, Reverb Nation and Northbaymusic.com.

I want to thank all of you who went to Northbaymusic.com to see what was going on when the May 27 show was rained out. So many of you went to the website that it crashed for the very first time for exceeding it's bandwidth. We have taken steps so this won't happen again.
