Friends of Backspin
One of the BEST all around blues bands in the tri-state area.  These are the guys who originally forced Jim and Moose to play in front of people.  Always track these guys down.  One of our heaviest influences.
A great venue to bring your friends.  Located in Massapequa by the lanes just east of 135.  Good drinks, and nice people.....we're going to rock this place.
This is a great place on the water in Patchogue.  We loved this place from the git-go.  Fantastic food, great people and unbeatable scenery.


Cherry  Pie is a true family member of Backspin.  Jim and Cherry have, by osmosis, formed a new 70's disco band.   Dance the night away with these guys.  There gonna be big.
Located at the end of Maple Ave in Bay Shore N.Y., Molly's is right next to the F.I. Ferries and is Our Madison Square Garden.  One of the last of the "Boater Friendly" places on the South Shore of mainland Long Island.  The food is fantastic and they always have music.  Joe and Peter have graciously asked us to come play three times this summer/fall.  This has been a special spot for us and our families for many years.  We usually make a point to come by boat as there's always room and the F.I. rules don't apply.  Try the Sheppards Pie......there ain't no better no-where.
Located on Merrick Road in Massapequa N.Y., the Blue Parrot is a great place to just hang out in a friendly place and jam.  We love to play there.  Romeo has graced us with his voice at our last gig and we look forward to playing there every time........generally.....cuz we have a freakin' blast!!!!!!
Double R Sports Bar is located on Connetquot Ave where the split happens just north of Southern State in Islip Terrace N.Y.  Big and "Lil" Randy run a great place where they only bring in the best music.  Why us...???....who knows, but they call us back and we consider that place one of our "favorites".   Many personal friends of the band consider the Double R their "Cheers".....
Located on Merrick Road (Montauk Hwy) in Amityville, the Bulldog has it all.  Outstanding food, great drinks and fantastic atmosphere.  There's a separate dining area that allows you to be closed off from the bar as well as dining where you get a great view of the whole scene unfolding below.  We had an absolute blast here and got some pretty serious compliments from the crowd.  As a native (and current) Amityvillian, I love this place.   Close to everyone and just a great place overall.  We hope to come back here often and just rock the place.
Located at the Babylon Train Station in N.Y.   This is the first place Moose ever played live with Jim (then known as the "Moose and Jim" show)  It's conveniently located close to the train for those "concert goers" who need a couple of quickies and or nightcaps before or after the trek to NYC.  Great stage, OTB and Lottery, and super friendly people.  John, the owner, is a down to earth guy who really cares about his patrons.
