Back in the saddle
Remember that Alan Laddd guy, the one who played at the West End Theater in Gloucester last year. Remember it was his first performance with the Abashed in a quarter century. Oh, that’s right. Alan Laddd wasn’t his real name. It’s a pseudonym used by Gary Shane, which is a stage name for Ipswich rocker Gary Lavenson. Shane was the name of a character played by Alan ‘One “D” Ladd’ in the movie of the same name and the frontman of the Detour, which scored several huge hits - like ‘Johnny’s Coaltrain’ and ‘Shadoworld’ - back in the day. Like the Abashed, the Detour has made a couple of comebacks since its '80s heyday. And they’re doing it again this Feb. 16 at the Dodge Street Grill in Salem.
Gary Shane and the Detour - let’s call it Detour Mach 3 - will feature bassist Steve Ruest, former Shane-Champagne (let it go, we don’t want to complicate things - drummer Billy Wells and Stevie Wah, who played with Shane ... OK, we admit it, we can’t remember which band he played with. Tottaro and The Brigands open. The Detour go on at at 11:30 p.m. -- way past our bedtime, but you kids can enjoy it. Dodge Street Grille is located at 7 Dodge St.
For more information, call 978-745-0139.
