The Coach House is one of my favorite venues of all time. I've been going there since I was old enough to use a fake ID. Its small, intimate and FUN. I've seen a lot of shows there over the years, usually local acts or older bands that can no longer draw a big crowd. I was surprised to see that Foghat will be there next month.The best show I ever saw there was, surprisingly, Dennis Quaid and The Sharks. Anyone who thinks of Dennis Quaid as "just an actor" has not seen him perform - they guy is GREAT. He was on-fire wild all night long and walked/danced/ran by my table several times (ok, he's adorable too - I was smitten).
Anyhow he comes out on stage in an old Zeppelin t-shirt, a pair of jeans and no shoes and plays non-stop for two hours. Tons of great old songs that everyone knew. It was more like a party than a concert. Good time. Wish he'd do that again!!!
