·         Thursday – Freeman Stage at Bayside – The Hunts, 7pm, Free.  Known for their harmony-laced take on alt-folk, The Hunts are a Chesapeake, Virginia-based band of seven siblings who’ve been playing music together almost their entire lives.  Twin sisters Jessi and Jenni and five brothers Josh, Jonathan, Jordan, Justin, and Jamison, now ranging in age from 26 down to 17, learned to sing and play violin as young kids and spent much of their childhood performing in their community.  Inspired by shared memories, The Hunts have created songs that capture heartache and wonder with a wide-eyed but wistful elegance.  The Hunts hold true to a songwriting process that taps into each member’s unique strengths but remains intensely collaborative.  That unified approach infuses their music with an irresistible richness of spirit.  Their songs are artfully arranged yet instilled with a graceful simplicity.  BYOC- Bring Your Own Chair.
·         Friday – Freeman Stage @ Bayside - Party Rock- Hits from the '80s-2000s!, 7pm, $20.  Party Rock - Celebrate the hits from the '80s-2000s!  Get ready to sing along to your favorite mega-hits from '80s, '90s, 2000s, and today's Top 40!  Performing your favorite hits from Prince, Bruno Mars, Blink 182, Kelly Clarkson, Daft Punk, Run DMC, Spice Girls, The Killers, Flo Rida, Macklemore, ACDC, Journey, Donna Summer, Madonna, Dr. De, Snoop Dogg and more.  If you loved Back to The Eighties Show with Jessie's Girl, you will love Party Rock!  Children age 12 & under are granted free entry to this performance.  BYOC- Bring Your Own Chair.
·         Saturday – Freeman Stage @ Bayside - Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers with special guest The Wood Brothers, 7pm, $55.  Bruce Hornsby’s work displays a creative iconoclasm that’s been a constant in the artist’s two-and-a-half decade recording career.  His commercial stock soared early on, when “The Way It Is” — the title track of his 1986 debut album — became one of the most popular songs on American radio.  Despite his early mainstream successes, Hornsby has pursued a more personal, idiosyncratic musical path, focusing on projects that sparked his creative interest, including collaborations with the Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Don Henley, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan, Bela Fleck, Bonnie Raitt, Pat Metheny, and Robbie Robertson.  Hornsby’s performance will offer a glimpse of a restless spirit who continues to push forward into exciting new musical terrain.  
The Wood Brothers’ sixth and latest album, "One Drop of Truth," dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds, styles and influences.  Whereas their previous outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line, here the long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix treat each song as if it were its own short film.  The plaintive, country-folk of the album’s opening track “River Takes The Town” gives way to the The Band-esque Americana soul of “Happiness Jones.”  The wistful ballad “Strange As It Seems” floats on a cloud of stream of consciousness, standing in stark contrast to “Sky High” — a Saturday night barnburner built upon stinging slide guitar funk.  “Seasick Emotions” is rife with turmoil, yet “Sparking Wine” is jaunty and carefree.  The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers’ most dynamic recording to date.
This performance will offer limited Premium Assigned Seating tickets and General Admission tickets. Tickets are required for all patrons, including infants and toddlers.
·         Sunday - OC Cruzers Car Display - Somerset Street Plaza, Somerset Plaza between the Boardwalk and Baltimore Ave.  Enjoy viewing classic cars while listening to live music in Ocean City Maryland.  OC Cruzers will display approximately 15 vehicles along Somerset Street Plaza.  The owners of the vehicles will supervise and educate spectators about their older cars.  Live music or DJ will be provided.  Select Sundays 2:30pm to 6pm.  For more information, call 410-289-7739 or visit www.ocdc.org.  Music Schedule TBA.

The Four Tops, formed in 1953, are a highly respected American soul, R&B and Motown vocal quartet hailing from Detroit, Michigan.  Their first Motown hit, “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1964, made them stars and their '60s track record on the label are indispensable to any retrospective of the decade.  Their songs, “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” “It’s The Same Old Song,” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” were across-the-board successes and long-standing favorites to many.  In 1990, The Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Tickets required for all patrons, including infants and toddlers. No re-entry permitted. Seats are provided in assigned seating section. Seats are not provided or permitted in Standing Room Only section.

Funny Poop
·         They say that excessive masturbation will cause you to become forgetful.  Not only that, but they say that excessive masturbation will cause you to become forgetful.

·         I’m writing for a good friend of mine.  His wife told him to go out and obtain some of those pills that would help him get an erection.  When he came back, he handed her diet pills.  Anyway, he’s looking for a place to live.

·         A blonde woman strode angrily into the large store, slapped a package on the counter, and loudly expressed her dissatisfaction.  The clerk asked “What’s the problem?  Wouldn’t your cat eat them?”  The blonde’s eyes got very large, and she whispered “Do you mean to tell me that ‘Pussy Treats’ are for cats?”

Etcetera
·         Got poop?  Let me know!  I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it.  Your input is appreciated.

·         Our website is up and running.  Be sure to bookmark our address - www.OCRavensRoost44.com or go to our blog @ http://ravensroost44.blogspot.com/ for the latest news, notes and nuggets.

·         Life is short.  Focus on the good.

·         I’ll be on vacation for the next couple weeks, so the next Poop will be on July 18.  I’m sure y’all can make do without it!

Funny Poop
·         A tough looking group of hairy bikers are riding when they see a girl about to jump off a bridge, so they stop.  The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit suicide," she says.
While he doesn’t want to appear insensitive, he also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity, so he asks, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"  She does, and it is a long, deep, lingering kiss.  After she's finished, the tough, hairy biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I’ve ever had!  That's a real talent you’re wasting.  You could be famous.  Why are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl…"
