Musikfest - Festplatz
Aug 5 - Bethlehem PA

Festplatz was once a steady haven for those who couldn't get enough polka... all hours of the day, every day of Musikfest. That's not quite the case anymore... in fact, on August 5th Festplatz will be ignited with the fiery swingin' sounds of the Slicked Up 9's!

The fellas are thrilled to return to Musikfest for the 6th time... and they've got a bunch of surprises up their sleeves - some new, and some old classics from the vaults. And if the 9's don't exhaust your entire need to swing, we're proud to be followed by Philly's legendary City Rhythm Orchestra who will follow at 8pm!

    9's News October 2005

    Unfortunately, not all 9's news is always good news. In the last month, a couple of 9's have decided to step aside from the 9's experience to pursue other endeavours in life.

    Scott Shirey and Dave Gerard will be greatly missed by the band. Their incredible musicianship helped shape the latest and greatest 9's sound... and they just so happen to be incredible fella's to know all around.

    Luckily for us all, we're sure you can look forward to them sitting in with the 9's... We wish them both the best of luck!

    Zanzibar Blue January 2005

    On a typical weekend at Zanzibar Blue, you might bump into Chick Corea, Nancy Wilson, Jimmy Scott, Arturo Sandoval, Lou Rawls, Kenny Garrett, Diane Schuur, Nicholas Payton, Wallace Roney, or Maynard Ferguson...

    But this weekend... you'd bump into Dave, Wally, Matt, Brad, Hefner, Donnie, Scott or Greg... sometimes collectively referred to as those Slicked Up 9's...



    Zanzibar Blue
    ALL next weekend!

    Playing at a world famous jazz venue is a pretty big deal for the 9's... but headlining there for an entire weekend will be one for the Slicked Up history book!

    We hope you make plans to join us for what will prove to be a night (or two) to remember on the Avenue of the Arts in Philly!

    Make reservations today- Saturday's shows are nearly full and Friday is on it's way too!
