Emerson Sports Grille- live music kick off

Bill Poole's "old" Front Row, which has been divided into a game room and smaller bar and grille, had their first live music Friday night unplugged last night. The bar area, which can probably seat 40-50, is very classy and comfortable. Bill has a lot of his sports pictures up, and reserved an area of the place for some familiar music pictures: Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Marty Stuart, etc. There are some couches, and a number of tables for four, and plenty of seats at the bar. He's got a simple but effective sound system ready to go. Andy had the debut show, and played a solid acoustic night; lots of regular Greens songs trimmed down for acoustic delivery, and some of the more "traditional" solo/ acoustic songs in his repretoire. He was in good voice, and nimble guitar fingers. There were some regulars from past open mikes/ formative years shows, and it was a good kick off to the Friday night unplugged solo effort to get some live music going on Emerson Ave. Bill even worked on his slide guitar technique late in the evening when the crowd wound down.
Andy had two shows Thursday night in Morgantown, and has two shows today back in Morgantown- a 4 pm show and a night show at Gibbie's.
