Lockport Club Features Top Bands

Gerald G. Ralston

White Chocolate is a band to see and hear if you like to dance.

Are you a lover of Chocolate?

After checking out the last concert of the season for the City of Lockport and connecting with Ray Byrd, we went to an exciting bar called Attitudes on Rt. 33, west of the city, and I was lucky to hear of this superb band of my good friend and fellow songwriter, Russ Castiglia.

Attitudes is a great place to party. White Chocolate was playing and within a few minutes of songs, the floor was packed with dancers of all ages.

White Chocolate has been part of the Western New York music community for more than 12 years, playing energy-packed, live dance and party music for all generations, from the Temptations to Nelle.  The band is made up of Eddie Billips, Brian Beaudry, Stan Tomaszewski, Garret Bruno, Matt Hake and Stacey Rybarczyk. 

“We try to bring fun and energy to all our music and create an atmosphere that will make people want to dance their shoes off,” said Beaudry. 

White Chocolate has played shows ranging from parties with Rose Royce, to the Erie County Fair, to events like the Level Regatta in Youngstown.       

At the end of the evening our bartender, a beautiful ball of fire named Alicia, invited me back to see a band on Friday, Aug. 31, that she says is amazing. The band’s name is Cool Company and you might want to join me on Friday and check them out. 

If your band or venue has something unique to offer send me an email. Gerald G. Ralston, Entertainment Editor, Niagara Falls Reporter.
