T-Town Sound was out and about watching bands on Sat Sept 6, 2008 - and we caught some different Toledo area bands out this time. We started out at the Bronze Boar and caught Dave Carpenter and the Jaeglers performing in the main room. Dave is an acoustic / alternative / folk singer and song write, and you can catch him around town singing solo - but this night he had his 4 piece band with him “The Jaeglers”. You can tell that Dave is quite passionate about his music, and he really lays it all out on the line when he sings. He plays at the Boar quite a bit - you should catch him next time you’re out and about town! Here’s some pics of Dave Carpenter and his Jaeglers we took at the Bronze Boar…

Next we went down to Legends (formerly the Durty Bird) on S. St Clair downtown to see “Otto’s Jacket”. The best way to describe them is probably 80’s/90’s metal rock cover band. Green Day, Judas Priest, Weezer and more, you can have a hard rockin’ good time with this band and their Marshall and Mesa stacks. Here’s some pics of the band we took at Legends…

Otto’s Jacket

We stopped by Main Street Bar in Sylvania to see who was on stage - and it was the classic rock cover band “Working Class Poor”. These guys were kickin’ out some Bad Company and Foghat big time! They had a great sound and the guys in the band were pretty tight. Here’s some pics of the band, sorry they aren’t the greatest because of the glaring beer signs on stage (turn ‘em off next time guys before you start!).

Working Class Poor

Our last stop was around the corner at Firehouse 47 to see the guys in “The Rayz” band. The Rayz play 80’s and modern rock covers. I’ve seen them before at the Firehouse and they do a lot of songs you won’t see other bands doing - like Sweet Child O’ Mine. Last night I caught them doing Kryptonite and Santeria. They’re playing the Bronze Boar later this month - check them out if you’re in the area. Here’s some pics of the guys in the band from last night’s show at Firehouse 47 in Ottawa Lake, MI just off 223.

The Rayz

Maybe next time we’re out we’ll see YOUR band!
