Eastside Vibe Review
When we decided to throw a party for our 2nd year anniversary we knew we needed the best party bands, one of us said “What about Bob” and that’s what got it all started.
Back in the day seeing Bob Cushing live was common place for me. West side, Clifton, Newport, Price Hill, I made my way around all of it and it was always great to walk in to a corner pub or the Blue Note and see Bob. If you didn’t come by cab you knew you’d be needing one now. My personal favorites were the Thursdays at Chuggies (Timmy Kings bar, long gone now, but righteous in it’s day) Bob would sing “American Pie” to 200 drunk college kids at the top of his lungs and spew tequila spit on the whole front row and it was awesome. Bob can get a crowd rowdy with five strings on an out of tune $22 guitar.. It’s never come to that though. Bob’s show is second nature or maybe even first nature to him by now. Bob’s been called a Cincinnati legend in the making and maybe that’s because Bob lets it all hang out. He plays 6 or 7 shows a week and at every one of them he’s having as much fun as anyone else in the room. Maybe more.
He knows how to get a party started and his covers of Hank Williams Jr, Charlie Daniels, Allman Brothers and Skynryd are rowdy enough to make the original artists applaud and his folk covers of Dylan, John Prine, Jonathan Edwards and the Dead are played just as they were meant to be played... with soul and a couple shots.
Bob’s CD “Step Aside” has been in my personal shuffle for years now. It’s been scratched, dropped, spilled on, stepped on and occasionally abused for some time now but it still sounds as good as new... just like the man who made it.
Bob has had his share of hard knocks and yours and mine and hers and his... and looking back, they all seem almost necessary now. Without them Bob wouldn’t be Bob. Just take a look at the titles of the original tunes Bob has released over the past decade; “C’mon Big Brother, Middle Aged Crazy, Story Of My Life, One Good Drunk, Lost in a Fog, Better Days, They Won’t Change Me” and that’s a mere few of the originals he’s put out. You get the idea Bob’s partied pretty hard and fast more than a few times before. Well now he’s partying with us at our 2 year anniversary party at Sneaky Pete’s (Milford) on Saturday May 24th.
