The word, Music has always been a big part of my life starting with taking piano lessons, dancing at the high school hops, playing clarinet, singing in the high school and college choir to now writing about music on an internet forum called a blog. 

When Dan Dalpra asked me to create a blog I didn't have to give it much thought before I agreed to create it for the Chautauqua Lake Pops.  From researching the many bands who have performed on the floating stage through the years in Bemus Point and in Mayville to recently meeting the members of Boogie Wonder Band at their sound check/rehearsal it has been an amazing musical journey beyond my imagination.

Thank you, Dan for believing in me and allowing me to express my love of music through what I do for the Pops .. this blog.

Steven Tyler has singled out Draw the Line as the best Aerosmith tribute band around and fans all over the world agree.  They are the only tribute band featured on Aerosmith's official website therefore they are the only Aerosmith tribute band to be publicly endorsed by the members of Aerosmith.  Draw the Line is clearly in a league of their own among tribute acts. 

Their career has taken them all over the world including performances in England, Canada, South America and Japan.  With over 2,000 shows in more than 100 cities, they have reached the pinnacle of the tribute genre.

This is as authentic as it can ever get!  Come see for yourself!

Draw the Line's lead singer, Neill Byrnes won a Steven Tyler look-alike contest on 107.3 WAAF which is one of Boston's biggest rock radio stations.  Even MTV agrees to the easily mistaken identity of Steven Tyler so MTV invited Neill to fly to New York so they could film his magical impersonation for a promotional video.  Even more recently Byrnes has been approached by VH1 to appear on they're new program, Rock Candy.  

If you love Aerosmith, this is another rock tribute show .. you don't wanna miss!
