This week: SAT. JULY 26TH - THE FRINGE LOCALS REUNION





Yep, once or twice a year the original band, Steve Goldberger, Eric Mahar, Dave Norris, Penner MacKay & Herb Nelson, reunite to play songs from our 4 CDs, plus a bunch of other golden nuggets that we've enjoyed doing since we got together back in 1995.



Here's what some folks have said about The Fringe Locals over the years:



"...the nerve to be different..." - Don Campau - KKUP 91.5FM, Cupertino California



"...he has made the "Niagara Sound" more Niagara..." - James Brown, Pulse Niagara



"...A tasty sample of musical gumbo is served up when Steve Goldberger & The Fringe Locals play their southern-fried cover versions and trans-cultural originals..." - Nick Baxter-Moore, Niagara Current Magazine



"Bits of acoustic folk, ersatz California country pop, New Orleans swamp rock, Celtic airs and raucous pub rock float up to the surface of this stew, truly an amalgam of alien parts. For all that, an infectious good humour and energetic teamwork lend this record, GUMBO DREAMS, genuine appeal." - Greg Quill, Toronto Star



"Steve Goldberger's subversive THE NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE RHYTHM PROJECT ... the sounds on this disc are beautiful free flowing instrumental illustrations of life in tourist heaven...A sort of mash up of folk, soft rock and jazz combined in the aesthetic of a jam band... get your hands on this disc and wrap your head around the sounds." - Pulse Niagara



"... We had a great time last nite. I never stay for 3 sets as most times I'm bored with the material, but your original tunes were fun and funky and put a grin on my face. You guys set up such a fat groove last nite, I can't remember when I've heard a live band lay it down so tight. Good acoustics and overall balance last nite. Bass sounded solid and not boomy.. Good time for sure." - George Richardson - Toronto



"...Bonjour! I just wanted to let you know that his new album is out and it rocks! It's called Gumbo Dreams and sounds just like its name - A great cocktail of original songs with original sounds." -Herve Oudet, "Americana in Paris" Radio Show, Paris, France



"...His voice and the music is as comfortable as a pair of good, broken-in Levis and he and his band, the Fringe Locals, are obviously having a GREAT time making their music ...." - C.L. in Atlanta



"I put on the SG & the Fringe Locals' Clueless, and I was blown away. That is one high quality, well-crafted collection of tunes. I will be listening to it regularly for the next few days. " - Mike Furnish, CKUW 95.9FM, Winnipeg, MB



"I've got several tracks earmarked for airplay. Nice work again, Steve." - Don Campau, KKUP 91.5 Cutertino, California



"The CD BLEW ME AWAY !!!! Great job." - Simon Fogel, Toronto



"You bastard! What a wonderful CD. It is so freakin' musical. It is no mean feat to be as prolific as you are and as good as you are. Serious congratulations, Steve. You should be very proud. I have now placed it in heavy rotation." - Bill Colgate, Toronto



"Good stuff; the more I hear your newest collection the more it really grows on me. I think you have stretched your personal range here and it is exciting to watch talents rearrange themselves over time." - Rod Hillier, Niagara-on-the-Lake



"Hey, Steve. Congratulations on producing just about the most eclectic CD I've come across! Really great job!" - W.K.- Toronto



"The music is working just fine, great writing, great playing, great singing, great philosophy, no regrets" - J.W. - Toronto



"I'm listening to it right now, and it's a real keeper! There's plenty of tracks we can give airplay to. And we'll be hugely pleased to do that. ... your songwriting's great. Cheers." Eddie O'Strange [Town & Country Radio] New Zealand



"Steve, I listened to your CD all the way back to Rochester, NY, yesterday.....and it was blaring on the way into work this morning. I love it!!!!! We had a great weekend. Niagara-on-the-Lake is absolutely beautiful! Seeing, hearing and meeting you and the band was an added bonus to our weekend. We'll be sure to schedule our next trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake on a weekend that you're playing there." Karen, Rochester, New York



"Hi, Steve...out of this world and the vibe is killer on both CDs. I love hearing Eric Mahar play ... and you can tell him that! I think my favourite track is Gumbo Dreams ... but I'll get back to you on that." - Mark Inneo (a really great drummer)

Ok, so there's lots more, but I think that's enough. Anyway, we don't get the chance to do this very often, so if you can join us, we'd love for you to share in our fun.

Steve
