A Hard, Valentine’s Day, Night

Last night at the Mice, was supposed to be our tribute to all things of the heart. Well, I guess people were just not in the mood for romance. (We get that a lot). So, we took a musical right turn and pulled out everything else; to the delight of the patrons and alcohol aficionado’s on hand. There was great food, delicious concoctions, and mediocre music. (well, we try . . .). All in all, we had another awesome night; meeting lots of new friends and reacquainting some old. Best part of the night was a group of young friends who were watching the band upstairs, (the great, Shotgun Soul), came back down and spent the rest of the night with us; singing and dancing and playing the tambourine.

Not Another Friday Night



Every Friday night at the Three Blind Mice has been amazing this winter, but something happened even more interesting this week, we have found the next Idol!

Right here in the beautiful city of Mount Clemens, there is a budding superstar on the horizon. Justin Moussa, sat in and sang several Bob Seager tunes to the absolute delight of the crowd at the Three Blind Mice. We cannot say enough about the professional job that he did, singing those songs. Great stage presence, great tone and articulation. And, he had the crowd eating out of his hand! We can see Justin going as far as he wants to go, with his looks and talent. Remember that you heard it here first.

Justin was not the only one singing with us on Friday night, however, there was another singer who regaled the patrons with his version of “Follow Me“, by Uncle Cracker, to the delight of everyone. And, I cannot forget to mention our two beautiful ladies that sat showed us how a tambourine should be played!

By now, the secret of the upper floor at the Mice is out. While we play downstairs each Friday night, upstairs is another whole vibe. Great musicians in hot groups seem to bring their “A” game each and every week. Playing upstairs is almost like playing in the big “show”; the “Carnegie Hall” of Mount Clemens. Musicians from far and wide vie to be the group on that stage every night, and it shows. The crowd responds, the bands give it their all, and everyone has an amazing night.

This Friday night, one of the crowd pleasing acts from the last few months came back to inject the local fans with more of their special brand of talent and tune. The Orbitsons, took the big stage at The Three Blind Mice, around ten O’clock. Carl and I had a chance to listen to a few songs, and grab a couple pictures to capture the event. Proof positive that if you are looking for great, food, drinks AND entertainment, Mount Clemens has all of that and more at this fine, new venue.

The Night That Shook The Mouse

It was a cold and frosty night in Mount Clemens, but little did we realize just how hardy our fans were to step out on this bitter Friday night. Arriving early Carl and I thought that no one in their right mind would venture out on an evening such as this. How wrong we were!

As we set up to play, (after a long, two weeks away), we noticed that even though there were only a few cars in the parking lot, The Three Blind Mice was nearly full. Good for us, as we thought that we would be playing to many empty seats. Even better, as we began to play our first set, the pub began filling up even more.

I guess on a night like this, it was great to be in out of the elements, sipping a fine adult beverage, and listening to some classic rock, folk and Irish music. By the end of our first set, we had already made many new friends and fans, who bonded with us over some timeless musical memories. One thing that we have noticed in our tenure at the pub is that the Three Blind Mice brings out the “fun” in people. It is such an comfortable place that people simply relax and unwind, while interacting in a positive, outgoing way.

Carl and I would like to thank all of the wonderful people that we shared the evening with last night. A special shout out goes to Lauren, the “life of the party”, to Sarah who took lots of great pictures, and captured the amazing night that we will never forget.

Set To Return

For a few months now, we have been building fans and friends at our new home, The Three Blind Mice Irish Pub, in Mount Clemens, Michigan.

We have been so very lucky to have had the opportunity to sing to thousands of people since we began playing, each Friday night since the fall of 2013.

We will be taking a break for a couple of weeks, but will return on Friday, January 24th at 8:00 Pm, to pick up right where we left off. Playing all of your favorite Irish, country, folk, island and oldies sing-a-long melodies. (And, maybe even have a few NEW ones as well).

Thank you all once again for making each and every night magical; and we will see you soon at The Mice!

“This Is Good Times!”

I know that when a lot of you have one free night to go out for an evening of fun, relaxation and enjoyment; the choices are nearly endless.

So, when you DO choose to go to the Three Blind Mice to see/hear us on a Friday night, we feel that it is an great honor. Therefor, it is up to us to treat it as such.

We try and taylor everyone’s experience to travel in whatever musical direction the night leads us. This can be quite exhilarating, and at the same time, very dangerous.

We endeavor to do everything possible to create an atmosphere of fun and relaxation. To give all that we can, to hopefully play that one song that connects them to a happier time or enjoyable moment in their lives. That’s what we shoot for, even though we, sometimes fail. We give all that we can, at each and every show.

Hope to see you there, so that we can share in your enjoyable moment.

Enter, The New Year

The New Year couldn’t come fast enough for many people we know. However, the last part of 2013 was pretty good to us. I’m talking about our connection to the Three blind Mice Irish Pub. Carl and I have been the Friday night entertainment since before the restaurant was been officially opened. It’s been a great experience for us; and none better that the very night that rang in the new year! We began on that Tuesday night in December at around eight o’clock to a very warm reception, and before we knew it, the place was packed to the rafters with giddy, new years’s revelers, singing and dancing into the wee hours. It was an incredible night. Carl and I were so very lucky to have each and every one of our friends and patrons that showed up to support us. We even met some amazing new friends that night. All in all, it was the best new year’s celebration ever. (and we have been doing this for forty years now!) Can’t wait to see everyone again. (As soon as they recover!)

A Perfect Fit

The Legendary Bob and Carl have a new home . . . introducing, the Three Blind Mice Irish Pub, in downtown Mount Clemens, Michigan! Yes indeed; we were there on the first night that the doors “un-officially” opened for the TBMIP. It was a little over a month ago now, but that very first weekend, (Their “soft” opening), cemented us in the coveted Friday night entertainment spot at our new favorite place. Everyone who comes to listen agrees, “It’s just a perfect fit!” This is the venue that we were born to play. There aren’t enough good things to say about this pub: the food, the atmosphere and the electricity can be felt, each and every night. Knowing that the best, and most interesting blend of music can be heard on a nightly basis only sweetens the deal when you are wondering where to spend your evening in Macomb County. Its the type of place that you feel at home the very first time that you walk through the door. The rich woodwork, brick, glass and tasteful accents speak to your soul like no other place before. Seemingly transported from Ireland to Mount Clemens, there can be little doubt the three men who’s vision can now be seen materialized at Market and Gratiot, in “The Clem”, had it right, all along. Bob and Carl now entertain every Friday night, beginning at 7:00 PM downstairs. While upstairs, promises an never ending array of the best entertainment the metro Detroit area can provide. Every customer that we have asked beamed about the food, when prompted. Maybe, some night, it will even slow down enough for us to give it a try. Now if you are thirsty . . . . Oh my! Are you in for a treat. “Pick your poison!” it has been said. So, if you have to go; make it right here. With hundreds of selections at arms’ length, served by the best wait-staff in the business; you can understand why even after such a short time being open, the Three Blind Mice Irish Pub is drawing rave reviews from everyone. So, Friday night, I hope that we can count on seeing you. Spend an evening of good food, great drinks and mediocre entertainment, with the Lengendary Bob and Carl at the TBMIP!

The Holiday Extravaganza Is Almost Here

Of all the events we play throughout the year, nothing quite compares to excitement that we share during this one, special week in December.

It’s finally upon us; our favorite time of the entire year: time for the Bob and Carl Holiday Extravaganza, 2013.

Playing music for people is both gratifying, and a real honor. Carl and I have been blessed to be able to share our unique talents for so many years now at so many shows throughout Michigan. That being said, nothing compares to the holiday shows that are right around the corner for us.

Carl and I will be playing for school children, parents, teachers and administrators in several school districts in the next couple of weeks. We will be sharing our incredible holiday show with so many special childen of all ages. Watching the magic of this season unfold right in from of our eyes is something that is truly impossible to express.

From now until the new year, we will share the joy of the season with song. Something that we never take for granted. For bringing the magic of the holiday season to life, is greatest feeling that we can ever experience.

The Amazing Cockroaches’ Swan Song

Entertainment czars are all a-twitter with the news that one of LA’s hottest producers is rumored to be flying in to town to catch Bob and Carl at the new venue-of-choice in Michigan, The Three Blind Mice Irish Pub.

Legendary singer, producer and front man for the iconic 80′s super-group, The Cockroaches, reportedly will whisk into town to put his seal of approval on the new entertainment digs, just outside of Detroit. The word is, that Eric will be scouting an out-of-the way venue for the long rumored Brad Savage & The Incredible Cockroaches reunion that may or may not be in the works.

Mr. Swan, who’s feet never seem to grow anything green, has been jetting the four corners of the globe in search of the right place to crank up the amps once more. (possibly for a local charity). His sights, just may be set on the Three Blind Mice.

One thing we DO know for sure, is that whenever Eric Swan arrives, amazing things follow. So lock up your women; keep a microphone at the ready; a cool drink at arms length; and plenty of crime scene tape in stock.

The Three Blind Mice just might see the light!
