LAKEPORT, Calif. – On Friday, Nov. 16, the Soper Reese Theatre Third Friday Live series spotlights a recently formed Lake County band, Clean Sweep.

This group plays what they call “Let’s Have Fun” dance music, from swampy slow to get down rock, R&B, blues, funk and jazz.

The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for all seats. Dance floor and no-host bar will be open.

These seven professional musicians, who boast top talents and long experience, came together through the efforts of band leader Patrick Gleeson, formerly of “62 Blues” and “Beluga Whale.”

Patrick plays a mean harmonica with soulful feeling and delivers a great vocal with that bluezey growl.

Vocalist Joanie Lane, born of a musical family, has played with the likes of Taj Mahal, Merle Saunders, Jackson Browne and Juice Newton.

Guitarist Michael Gymnaites has played with Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, the Coasters and the Drifters, and opened for Sly and the Family Stone.

Keith Crossan took up the saxophone at 11 years of age and went on to play with a constellation of music greats including Natalie Cole, Pattie Labelle, Bonnie Raitt, Albert Collins and Teddy Pendergrass.

David Neft plays piano and keyboard and is seen regularly at Lake County dances, concerts, plays and special events.

Dave Falco, on bass guitar and vocals, has shared the stage with Elvin Bishop, Southern Pacific, David Lindley, Jefferson Starship, Tower of Power, the Steve Miller Band, the Temptations and B.B. King. On drums is John Sheridan.

Major sponsor is the Strong Financial Network. Also sponsored by KXBX 98.3 and KNTI 99.5. Tickets are available online at www.SoperReeseTheatre.com; or at The Travel Center, 1265 S. Main, Lakeport, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
