Jive for 5! The Crown Vics Bring Rockabilly to The Grand!

Ellsworth, Maine - For one night only, The Crown Vics (Maine’s Premiere Rockabilly Band) come to The
Grand playing traditional rockabilly in a style that honors the era of Carl Perkins and Scotty Moore on Friday, November 8th at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $5 General Admission.

That's right, future hep cats and cool kittens, The Crown Vics are in town! No more searching desperately through hotrod magazines, or marathon viewings of Elvis movies, and Horton Heat videos! No more calling up friends in the middle of the night to find out what's cool and what not!  Tear the joint up by spending the night with The Vics! Dance the night away at The Grand!

It was listening to the music of Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead, punk rock, new wave, '90's alt-rock and all kinds of blues and soul while growing up in New York City, Hollywood, suburban New Jersey and Downeast Maine, that taught Frank Schawrtz (Guitar, Dobro and Vocals), Drew Myers (Lead Vocals and Harmonica), Gordon Fellis (Bass and Vocals) and Steve Peer (Drums and Vocals) the essentials of rock'n'roll. It would be decades, and many dive bar bands later, that these four unlikely and very different cats ended up rehearsing one winter night in Steve's living room. After that initial rehearsal The Vics immediately started headlining shows. With their gung-ho spirit, short and to the point songs (with hardly a breath between numbers), the band causes quite a hullabaloo when they take the stage.

So bring a friend and share the experience of a band called a mix of “Elvis Presley and the Stone Temple Pilots”- The Crown Vics live onstage at The Grand!
