DJ Joe White to bring a good time to 38 West, 4 Sure!

Tonight DJ Joe White will dust off his cowboy boots & line dance playlists to bring some great line dancing music back to South Jersey line dancers.

Joe White DJ'ed and taught line & couples dances in the Philadelphia area at Prospectors for years. Playing GOOD dancing music, he had a knack for pairing new songs with classic dances. It's been about a year since his departure from Prospectors where he is greatly missed by many boot-scootin' bar-goers. "Where's the Hell Yeah button" and "Wouldn't miss it for the WORLD" are what some said on facebook event, The Return of DJ Joe White. Choreographer of the line dance, 4 Sure , Joe keeps the dance floor moving.

If you can't make it out tonight, we've heard some buzz about another DJ Joe White appearance at 38 West on July 29th.

Line dance girl gets her toes out of the sand

... and back in my boots =) 

Howdy,

It's been a busy spring & summer. Perhaps I personified Terry Clark's song, "I Wanna Do It All", Zac Brown Band's "Toes" and Craig Morgan's "Redneck Yacht Club'". I think Keith Urban said it best... "Days Go By".

I took some road trips, went to some baseball games, and took some down time at the beach. It's been a great summer missing only one thing, large quantities of line dancing!

Getting back in the swing of things, I'm sure you've heard Prospectors has been closed through July & August for renovations. They have been working all summer to get the club back in proper dancing order come  September. They're making the dance floor larger [yesss!!!] and rearranging the layout to better accommodate our needs. We look forward to getting back to some 'pros' dancing when they reopen.

In the mean time, good ol' Friendly Tavern in Carney's Point (Rt. 40) celebrated it's grand reopening on July 17. It's a great place with a slick floor to dance some Two Step & Shuffles on a Saturday night after the Cowtown Rodeo! Friendly Tavern does country music Weds. - Sat. night. They're big on Two Stepping & Shuffling and slightly less focused on line dancing than other local venues. If you haven't been there lately, it's worth venturing out!

We went out last weekend to Friendly's and I heard that Kathy Mattea tune "455 Rocket". Let me tell you how I couldn't have cared any less about what dance they were doing, I WAS gonna learn it. They were doing The Scooch choreographed by Jo Thompson. Easy to pick up, I had the dance down by the end of the song. Cool dance, awesome song.

Love live country music

Luck with the concerts lately... not so much. Let's start with the Gary Allan show on March 5 @ the House of Blues in Atlantic City... we were going to get some tickets at the door - SOLD OUT. We heard it was a great show too.
Then... last weekend to go see Eric Church at Prospectors & oh yeah, SOLD OUT. What the heck?!
So this week I was listening to Cat at work and heard "Caller number 7 wins Josh Turner tickets" and I started dialing, and it rang ~ yipee!! It was great to win tickets after my good run of bad luck. I feel lucky, really lucky. Can't wait for the show! Josh Turner has the sexiest voice ever ;)

Speaking of live country music...

• Adam Gregory is playing Prospectors on April 8, $6 from 6-8pm
  
• Cat Country 107.3 is doing something called the Weekly Cat Country Local 10 where local country musicians get radio play Sunday nights starting March 29. Sounds cool...
• James Otto will be at Prospectors on April 18 - 856-235-1121 for tix
  
• Bombshel is playing at Prospectors on May 7th 6-8pm, $6
  
• Jamey Johnson's playing Prospectors on May 9th $15 advance, $20 door. Call 856-235-1121 for tix

It's a fundraiser where the proceeds benefit the families of deceased and permanently disabled law enforcement officers. $10 in advance, $15 at the door. $2 drafts, 6pm doors open, 3 hour buffet. A night out & a good cause all in one...

Nashville or bust

We're going away for the weekend.

I've never been to Nashville before but my best friend has been to music city and is convinced I'll love it so this weekend, off we go!

It has been a while since my last trip when I went to North Carolina. That trip inspired my post, "28 more reasons I love country men". Enough said?! Lol.

Back to this weekend, I am stoked to

1. Get away for a long weekend with my bff;
   
2. GET MY LINE DANCE ON!;
   
3. Watch tons of live music;
4. Rock my new boots in the daytime;
   
5. Stay in a rockstar quality hotel with badass bathrooms;
6. Perhaps meet a country man? ;)

I'm bringing my camera & phone, no laptop so check 4 pics next week. Knowing us, we'll likely have some quality stories too. Check @artseejodee for what we're up to in the mean time.
