Joey's Casa Italiana, Hewitt, NJ, November 19, 2010

On a cold November evening, the band ventured up to the wilderness of Sussex County, NJ for what was to be a memorable performance at Josey's Casa Italiana. Playing this venue for the first time, The Shuffle whipped out five debuts in "Because the Night," "Paradise by the C," "For You," "The Fever" and "So Young and in Love." Other notable songs played by request were "Candy's Room," "The Price You Pay" and "Drive All Night." With the crowd continuing to dance and have a great time we decided to just keep playing, throwing an additional 6 songs on at the end of our set.

The Manasquan Beach House, Manasquan, NJ 10/29/10

This show was our first performance at The Manasquan Beach House and we had a great group of our biggest supporters on hand for the festivities dancing and singing up a storm. The highlight of the evening was the performance of "Seaside Bar Song" for one fan who "dared" us to attempt to the obscure track. Although we hadn't played the song in months, we gave it our all and it was greeted with a tremendous response. It's one thing to have people going crazy on "Rosalita," but it's another thing entirely when a crowd is singing all the words to a song like "seaside Bar Song." It's what makes being in this band so much fun. Another highlight of the evening was s Halloween-themed story in the middle of "Growin' Up" which featured Bill Shanker as a sax-playing Frankenstein.
