One Last Look

 Think a "NEVAH" Spring Fling?
 Stay Tuned for more info!

A Few More Memories

We thought we would share some more from the show!

So you had that side effect too?

The Elders

Really, Humpty did jump!

Scotty, if only we could do this on a sailboat.

Honey, who are these guys?

Josh make sure you get a lot of pictures of me.

Hal, what are you doing here?

I thought Dr. Hicklicks was playing.

Thanks Esteban!

Does anyone need a lawyer?

Maybe we will offer frequent attendance points!

      

FEVAH RELIEVED!

        NEVAH would like to thank everyone who came to our show on the 18th.  You truly made our efforts worthwhile as you had fun, listened, drank a little (okay maybe a lot), participated, and hopefully at the end of it all had "your fevah relieved"
        A special thanks to Mike Dow for introducing us in such an elegant and complimentary fashion.  I for one couldn't wait to hear the talented group he was talking about and then I realized, "it was us," then, "I got nervous."  Fortunately from the reaction of all that were present I think we came close to living up to Mike's kind words.
        As promised we continued to stretch our wings a little as evidenced by the second set where we featured different groupings of members with some solo presentations.  It warmed our hearts to hear the spontaneous reactions elicited by each vignette.  From the clapping that started with Richard and Larry's mandolin offering to the audible crowd gasp when "Mr. Humpty jumped instead of fell" as told in Hal's beautiful rendition of "Cinderella's Story" to the huge, swelling, cheer that built up as we broke into "Helplessly Hoping" only to be topped by the "pin drop" silence everyone experienced during Ed's solo Big Band crooning, Jack's emotionally stirring dobro instrumental, and Dick's stepping out from behind the drums to play guitar and present a heartfelt version of "Can't You See" we were elated.
        The Next Generation Theatre has become a second home for us and we want to thank Tracey for providing such a great venue for all the musicians in the area to be able to do what they love "Play Music"
        Until next time I will leave you with a few pictures
from Cabin Fevah Relievah Pas Tois, enjoy!
                   " Phil the bass player"

      

Josh look into my eyes "You will make us sound good"

A New Year

     It's hard to believe another year has passed and "NEVAH" has much to be thankful for.  Our families who offer constant support, our friends, old and new, that we have made over the previous years, and the enduring bond shared by the members of our little group and their dedication to make room in their busy lives to get together to "make music."
     This past year we were finally able to record and release our first "CD, Tales From NEVAHLAND an atypical album Part 1."  For many in the band it was their first time in a studio and it was a true learning experience and in the end a very rewarding one.  As our friends, "The Kruger Brothers" stated "you either come out of the first recording experience as a stronger group, or end up breaking up."  Thankfully we took the former road and continue to work on new original tunes, a few of which we hope to perform at "Cabin Fevah Relivah Pas Trois" at the Next Generation Theatre on Saturday, January 18, 2014.
     So to all out there who took the "Road less Travelled" while "Driftin with the Tide" as they rode the "Last Bus to Bangor" wondering whether "I Lean Left, you Lean Right" on that "Hometown Open Road" and experiencing a "Rare but Serious Side Effect" the NEVAHBAND wishes you the "Happiest and Healthiest of New Year's."  Phil the bassman.
    

Happy New Year from NEVAH

Hey, someone took a photo of the band at rehearsal last night, sort of a "behind the scenes" shot …

… John from 4Points BBQ in Winterport – gave me 3 (three) solo performance dates … and the first one is right around the corner … January 3rd (that's a friday) from 5 to 8 pm … {it's sort of a redo-return since I had to cancel the Dec. performance date}

Therefore, I hope to see you all there for a lot of musical fun … and, yes, I hope some of you will join me throughout the night, playin' and a singin'.

Keep January 18th open for NEVAH's "CFR 3"

More details to follow in the coming weeks …

Mother Nature Had a Hand in Cancelling Hal Meyers 4 Points Gig

Hey there - friends who had planned to come to the 4Points BBQ to see me this evening … I have to apologize to you for having to cancel the gig. Got into an auto accident 8 minutes from 4 Points .

I'm fine … and was going to try and make it when Laurie came and picked me up, but … realizing the "return home" might be even more treacherous on the roads, I called 4Pts and we mutually decided to cancel/postpone. 

Again … I apologize to those who braved the roads and slushy sidewalks to get to the performance. 

Hopefully I can re-book.

Thanks …

Hal
p.s. I might need a new vehicle

Hey NEVAH friends and fans … 

Just to let you know … DEC 1 - This SUNDAY … I'll be appearing at the 4Points Barbecue in Winterport (Maine that is – for all my friends and NEVAH Fans who would love to come but live "hours" away).

I'm performing a "solo" banjo/guitar music thingy … but and however, singing along with/joining in on your favorite tunes, or ones you simply like a little, is appreciated and encouraged. And … if there are a few folks who play guitar or banjo, or whatever – and want to jump in or pick up a vacant instrument well, that's encouraged too.

NEVAH at MACY's for Mike and Mike's "Fill the Truck"

Hey there friends and fans of NEVAH …

… Had a terrific gig last night at Macy's Court in the Bangor Mall … helping to bring awareness to Mike and Mike's "Fill the Truck Event" - Gathering non-perishable food to be distributed by Manna Ministries.

And … we received this last night …

"Guys,

Thank you for giving your time and talent tonight. I wish I could have heard your entire set but what I did hear was excellent. The mix was perfect and you played at just the right volume for the occasion and venue. I could tell that everyone present really enjoyed it and I hope you made some new fans in the process. I took a few photos which I’ll go through and put up on the old Mike and Mike Facebook page www.Facebook.com/mikeandmike It’s set as a ‘public’ page so they should be viewable to all.

Thanks again for helping to spread the word on the first day of the food drive. The response was good – for a Monday. Tomorrow will be our busiest day. We get to wake up in a few hours and do it again!

I look forward to seeing you at Next Generation Theatre in January.

Mike"

NEVAH at Macy's
