\ PICKERING \

A couple of weeks ago we told you about how the weekly jam hosted by the Juggernaut band, that had run at West Shore Bar & Grill in Pickering for 18 months, was moving to a new location in Ajax.

The band had made the announcement a couple of weeks previously but never did explain why they were leaving –it seemed likely that perhaps the West Shore room was simply giving up on the concept, for whatever reason. But now that appears not to have been the case at all.

For even as the Juggernaut rolled away to its new room, another host band caught the wave to slide neatly into the West Shore, located at 877 Bayly Street in Pickering

 

Enzo & The Surf Riders, fronted by ebullient Enzo Simone, is now set to provide Pickering players with the same sort of musical jamming fun they’ve been used to each Sunday 5-9 but with an added twist.

In addition to hosting the jam, you can expect some lively tunes from the trio fronted by guitarist Simone, who, as well as being a veteran Rock and Jazz player and half of a duo called The Toronto Blues Brothers Tribute, has dedicated his six-string skills to mastering “Surf guitar”.

Earlier this year he released a new cover version of the Dick Dale 1962 classic “Misirlou”, which was used as the opening song in the movie “Pulp Fiction”. After sending the track to Dale, Simone received an email back from the master and his wife raving about the new track, which you can hear on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/user/enzosimonerocks.

On his YouTube channel you can also check out his takes on classics by The Ventures, Chuck Berry and at least one original.
