Don Schott/ GRATEFUL SURF: events

I love to perform and avant rock and jazz are probably my favorites though I work in world music & folk and blues fairly often. Bass guitar is my principal instrument. I play guitar and sing and perform on hand percussion as well as mandolin and brac (a six stringed Yugoslavian instrument)

All of the bands with asterisks beside their names had special requests for these times. These were because of other commitments or the fact that artists playing in more than one band wanted them to play back to back.

Recently, Dave Hall and Don & Beth Schott have partnered to present 5 concerts in the 250 seat ACT ONE theater in beautiful downtown Sharonville - a burb of Cincinnati. The intention is to present new,original and unique acts along with a few concerts of very well known but not often seen in Cincinnati - touring groups and solo artists. Currently we are seeking out the talent to present and developing a booklet comic book to become the promotional device for the series. Advertisers are welcome and the contents are stories about the performers and local music concerns as well as cartoons and illustrations that will make this comic book a keepsake. Look for more info in the future. Bands should contact DAVE @ 513 531 2036 or his pager at 513 971 0967 or e mail kokopellistages@donschott.com OR kokopelli@fuse.net

Our next rehearsal is Saturday. This will be our second with Jim. Hope we can come up with some new promotinals and demos. We have over 30 tunes now with Jim.

RIGHT BEFORE THEIR DEBUT ENGAGEMENT IN EDEN PARK the surf rock band also known as "Don't Fear The Reverb" lost their bass player, Dan Nolan, to the great abyss. So now we are searching for a new dedicated bass man or bass and guitar man to fill the shoes. Ever since I (Don Schott) joined this band I have been bubbleing over with new spirit and enthusiasm. This mostly because after playing bass for 40 years I am now the rhythm guitarist. I feel renewed; like I am 15 again. I can play all the bass lines but not while I am playing guitar too. So we need another bass player or another guitar player that can play the bass lines. Are you the one?

Make sure to check the Calendar Dates section to get the latest info on performers. Also check the EVENTS section to get more info than what shows up here on the home page.

New updates:
Rick Lisak trio is now a Quartet named "the Sloes"
Band schedules are almost completed.
"Don't Fear the Reverb" has to bail due to bass player quitting
P.A. by John Hutton - same guy that does the Blues Festival

More later

Hard work and a lot of new developments - there is a poster jpeg which you can copy onto your computer (most systems just drag it) and you can help us help them by sending it to as many people as you know on your e mail list - you can also print copies and pass them on to office or work friends and help spread the word. Help make this one of the coolest "people oriented" events to go down in Eden Park in a long time -

New news is that the Cincinnati Park Board has decided to "pitch in" and be a Co-Sponsor" - isn't that cool?

More new sponsors are coming on board and I will write about it as soon as I have a Moment-- Oh, the poster to copy is in the photos section as well as right below this copy.

ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBER 2005 - JOHN S. RODGERS WITH DON & BETH SCHOTT AND THE ASSOCIATION OF PERFORMING AND RECORDING ARTISTS ARE PRESENTING A FREE CONCERT IN EDEN PARK AT THE SEASONGOOD PAVILION - NOON TO 9 THE TALENT LINE UP IS GROWING STILL FOR THIS OLD1968 STYLE MUSICAL DAY IN THE PARK - ON OF THE LAST SEASONALY GOOD DAYS - TUNE BACK IN SOON FOR MORE UPDATES AS I WILL WORK ON THIS MORE AGAIN EACH DAY

As soon as I can finish their web pages I will resurect the Association of Performing and Recording Artists which is a 501-C-3 non profit organization founded in 1988.

Back in December of last year on the 10th & 11th, I recorded live performances of a quartet (Friday) and a Quintet (Saturday) featuring ART GORE (past drummer for George Benson and now living in Cincinnati), Jim Anderson (bass), Jim Connerley (piano), Brent Gallaher (tenor & soprano sax), and on Saturday Pat Harbison (trumpet). Guest drummers were Bobby Scott, Melvin Broach & Anthony Lee. It was fantastic. We landed some wonderful tracks and I am in the process of mixing them now on a Panasonic DA7 digital mixer.

Don Schott will travel anywhere for a good recording. I started recording at age 13 in 1964 and have always had an interest in production. Mostly I work within 100 miles of Cincinnati. I have over 25 years experience working professionally in recording the live performance and on location/field recordings. I am equiped for multi channel recording and have recorded the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra for broadcast on WGUC and NPR.

EYE RECORDS is the label where many projects I produce find their listening audience. Started in 1980 when vinyl was still the king medium, EYE is recognized as a place for diverse interests in music and DVD.
