The Southern Steel Band - will no longer be playing at Midtown Lounge in Fernandina as of 12/19/2001.   Midtown Lounge has canceled our January 2002 date.    The Southern Steel Band wishes Brendan Davis and Chuck Singleton good luck in their endeavors and thanks the many "Round House and Schooners" goers for their many months of loyalty.   In place of Midtown, The Southern Steel Band will be at the newly renovated Seabreeze Lounge at the Best Western in Fernandina Beach on Sadler Road, alittle less than a mile east of Midtown.   Enjoy the freedom to dance on their brand new dance floor and play pool and foos ball on brand new tables.  The bar has been completely renovated for your enjoyment and if you enjoy your football, new big screens and projectors have been added.  Special thanks to Debbie Crosby, Best Western/Seabreeze Manager for her contributions towards bettering a place that you can call your favorite watering hole.

The Rumor Mill -   The Southern Steel Band wants to remind a chosen few folks out there that besides being musicians we also have families and are active in some way in our communities.  With respect we say that the band is strong, professionally and in our friendships.  The Southern Steel Band is not by any stretch of the imagination disbanding nor are we taking any breaks in the near future.  The Southern Steel Band makes all of their decisions jointly and professionally and is currently booking well into the Spring of 2002.  We understand that sometimes as a topic travels from one to another its validity becomes somewhat compromised.  However, TSSB chooses to ignore rather than acknowledge fiction.  TSSB wants to have fun doing what we love to do and wants you to enjoy yourselves and relax.  Playing music for you is not a business to us, its our passion.  So thank you.

In case we haven't mentioned - we have played all over since being rotated at Midtown.  Rotation, this is common.  In addition the rotation out of Midtown has been very healthy for us a band.  We're trying hard to make a name for ourselves in Jacksonville, St. Augustine and into Georgia north of Brunswick.  Several of you have spoken to us about our not being at Midtown and for that matter on the Island.  The Southern Steel Band has nothing derogatory to offer about Midtown, in fact, we encourage you to give their lineup a shot.  Jorge, Cliff and Mike want to take this opportunity to thank you for coming out to see us where ever we are.  We understand that its 20 some miles from the Island into Georgia and almost 30 some to Jacksonville and Hilliard.  It will be almost 80 to Waynesville Ga, so we say Thank You, for coming out and supporting us whenever you can.  The Southern Steel Band appreciates our friendships.
