Rumrunners Pub & Eatery – Williamsport PA
The best live music combined with amazing food and over 135 different types of rum. Enjoy a trip to the Caribbean without leaving Williamsport.
Williamsport’s own jam band, Lumpy Gravy, was formed when Owen MacDonald and Brett Kahn, former members of Kind-a-Mind, began jamming with Mike and John Snyder. Doug McMinn, who played with MacDonald in the George Wesley Band, signed on in the spring of 1998, along with percussionist Ken Damilio. Now, two drummers and three bass players later, Gravy has a new lease on life. MacDonald (guitar, vocals) and McMinn (sax, guitar, vocals) are joined by Aaron Sauers on drums and Jimmy Lovcik on bass in the refurbished lineup. Sauers’ jazzy, eccentric style and Lovcik’s solid but imaginative bass work keep the famous Gravy groove going at peak efficiency. Lovcik has played hundreds of gigs in the last five years with the widely touring Strawberry Jam and Jack’s Farm, While Sauers comes to the band from Downside Sounder and many other local acts including early punk band…..Swan Dive. “Mango”, the bands 2002 CD release, has been well received and the band has just finished a second CD of original music titiled “GRASShopper”. We are getting ready to go back into the studio again to start work on our 3rd CD….Although lately we’ve been playing around with the idea of doing a live recording instead. We shall see.
Pre-Turkey Day celebration brought to you by the Titans. Come see the next big thing going down in Williamsport. Topped off with a $2 rum and Coke special with no cover charge, you won’t want to miss this chance to hear some great original rock at one of the best bars downtown.
