Hey, Folk’s pretty psyched to share with you all a trailer of a documentary that will be coming out on a local bar with a ton of history here in Thunder Bay!
FIVE BUCKS AT THE DOOR: The Story of Crocks N Rolls
Crocks N Rolls was a landmark and still is as many an act have rolled through and played the place known as Crocks that has been run since Day 1 by Frank Loffredo who still promotes show in this town and has been doing for over 30 years!
I believe the Doc deals with the years 1986-1996.
The names of both Frank and Crocks will be familiar to you fine readers as I have reviewed a bunch of shows that Frank has brought to town. Frank as well has been a big supporter of my scribbles and hack style of writing at getting the word out through social media!
I thank ya, Sir!
Best line in the trailer comes from Frank himself who says that “Thunder Bay is like The Dukes of Hazard”
A soundtrack as well will be forthcoming as well so I will keep you all posted!
Check out the trailer posted above as you can get a little taste of the music scene from Tbay from wherever you are in the world!
Thanks.
Neat trailer, Deke – is that former MuchMusic VJ Sook Yin Lee being interviewed at one point?
I wonder if there will be any photos of young DeKe in the audience showing up in the doc!
