Friday:

Shane Pruitt Band and friends - 11/28/08 - Friday
8:30 pm - 11:00 pm

An Evening withThe Shane Pruitt Band and friends
Tickets $10

Shane, Bill and Jim take to the Showroom stage with holiday guests including the Barrel House Mamas, Jeff Holland, Gregory Hodges, Mac McCloud and more for this special day after Thanksgiving show.

With its raw, refined, explorative, and expressive brand of blues, the Shane Pruitt Band has quickly become one of the most recognized and popular bands in the area. Since its emergence on the regional music scene, the Shane Pruitt Band has opened for numerous National Acts, headlined several local blues festivals, and received a lot of support from local media outlets.

Shane Pruitt (guitar/vocals) has been playing the southeast for 15 years, despite his young age. He has played in numerous bands and has opened shows for or played with artists such as Johnny Winter, Junior Brown, Coco Montoya, Porter, Batiste and Stoltz and many others. Shane's guitar style evokes the intensity of Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Freddie King and Duane Allman. Jim Peterman (organ/vocals) was an original member of the Steve Miller Band back in 1967. He played on their first two albums, before pursuing other career goals. He spent many years playing organ with gospel groups, which contributes to his soulful, church-like playing. It is a great compliment to Shane's soulful, heartfelt guitar playing. Bill Fletcher (drums/vocals) rounds out the band's sound with an old school style that harkens back to the in-the-pocket playing of drummers like Roger Hawkins and Al Jackson, Jr. Bill has spent many years playing in the southeast with various blues and soul bands, including Cocktail Frank and with blues singer Robin Rogers.

Visit the Shane Pruitt Band myspace for music and more.

Knock the Chill off with Weekend Events....

Tonight @ The Showroom

Hindsight - 11/21/08 - Friday
9:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Hindsight with Brandywine
Friday, November 21st 9pm
Tickets $5 at the door
All ages are welcome.

Hindsight is an alternative rock group from Spartanburg created from the combined talents of Justin Smith (vocals/guitar), Matt Alley (vocals/guitar), Adam Brownlee (bass), and Robby Johnson (drums/percussion). Hindsight pools its members from such bands as Senile Sanity, 3 Men and a Box, and Brandywine to create a unique blend of alternative rock mixed with blues, folk, and latin jazz. Their influences include many great artists such as U2, Matchbox 20, Bruce Springsteen, and Kings X. Hindsight is currently in the studio preparing for their album due to release sometime in 2009.

Two Events Saturday.....


BYOA - Bring Your Own Art - 11/22/08 - Saturday
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

BYOA - Bring Your Own Art
at 125 W. Main St. (the old Kimbrell's space)
Downtown Spartanburg 7-10pm

Four years ago, before there was a Showroom Gallery and Performance Hall, HUB-BUB.COM hosted the very first BYOA (Bring Your Own Art) Show at a vacant downtown building. The event was such a success that it became an annual tradition. For the past two years the event has been held at The Showroom and has attracted over 40 artists from around the area and attracted crowds of hundreds of people each time. In 2007 the event maxed out the space prompting HUB-BUB to seach for a larger location. On Saturday November 22nd HUB-BUB will host the fourth annual BYOA show at 125 W. Main St., in the old Kimbrell’s Furniture space on Morgan Square.

BYOA is a spontaneous art exhibit and sale with no selection process or submission required by the artists. It’s a great opportunity for artists to have their work shown and the perfect place to for patrons to find a unique gift for the holiday season.

This is always a fun event and the use of the vacant space will only add to the excitement as the building is filled with art on easels, propped and leaned. The event will take place from 7 til 10pm and in addition to the varied selection of art, crafts and jewelry those attending can enjoy food, drink and music by local DJ Tony P. Admission is free and the public is encouraged to attend.

This event is sponsored in part by The Spartanburg Downtown Association and Buck Brandt, Attorney

Tonight! Live at the Showroom

Tonight @ The Showroom

Seth Kauffman - 11/14/08 - Friday
9:00 pm - 12:00 am

Friday, November 14th 9pm$8

Seth Kauffman returns to the Showroom fresh off of his tour with labelmates Dr. Dog.

After his 2006 debut full-length on Hightone Records left critics drawing comparisons as diverse as Motown to the Carribean, Seth Kauffman returns with 'Research' (Park The Van). Once again Kauffman performed and recorded virtually every note himself at his home studio, and -- in an age where obsessive computer editing and auto-tuning are taking the humanity out of even most home recordings -- once again his refreshingly organic approach to making records has received rave reviews:

"...this delightfully twisted platter will get under your skin like nothing you've heard all year." -Harp.

Don't Forget....Next Saturday Night

SNB will provide a nurturing environment, brimming with spontanaeity. We will generate trust, love and freedom within the community, and hope you like us anyway.

November 5th 2008

Let's take a day to reflect, on what's happened in the past 24 hours. Some People won Some People Lost. What we need to do now is Get over it...Get on with life and Pray for our Nation and the World. I saw the Reaction on Television this Morning after Sen. Barack Obamas Win. The World was Cheering because they saw Change occuring , it seemed like there was a Newfound Hope for America and the World. I myself Being open to change. I think we as a people should look past whether we are Red or Blue and Come together for the Good of the Nation and start new friendships....The Racial Barrier was Broken , Can't The Party Color Barrier Be Broken As Well? I believe it can : John 13:34"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. " I being of Republican Status believe America Can Change for the Better. I know I will get E mails and dirty looks for what I have said here today . So I'll understand if you no longer want to read my blog.....drop me a line either way . you know the email by now.

God Bless America
