About
Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana, Flavio Naves, Fred Barley, Bruno Falcão and Lancaster Ferreira started in 2010. Marcos, the singer, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded, as if he had written them himself. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “Why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!” Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013.
The first version of the Beatles songs that caught people’s attention was Ticket To Ride. The video has now more than twelve million views on Facebook. The band has worked and reworked many different songs since it was formed, but only the ones that sound natural to their ears stay in the repertoire. The arrangements combine blues and soul grooves that suit the vocals of the songs while adding a different feel to them. Instrumental solos and improvisation, typical elements of the blues, are an integral part of the Blues Beatles style. Their fiery live performances showcase their individual and collective skills as soloists.
Be on the LOOKOUT for Blues Beatles coming to a town near you in Fall of 2017/Spring of 2018.

***** Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe, 4800 West Hillsboro Boulevard, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 428-4911.

Found a real good “mom & pop” Italian red sauce joint for you guys to checkout- Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe in Coconut Creek.

Real simple tale to tell- full boat menu of reasonably priced- appetizers/ salads/ pizzas/ pastas/ hot & cold subs/ entrees/ calzones/ strombolis, something like 8 tables inside/ 2 outside!

Based on a terrific recommendation from long time Jeff Eats’ reader Ellen G, yesterday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats gave Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe a shot for lunch and I gotta tell you guys that Ellen G really came through for us-(actually Amici’s did the coming through) with the joint’s house salad, chicken parm sub, 2-New York Style cheese slices and Sicilian slice all being right on the money!

Amici’s Pizzeria & Cafe is open, Sunday noon-8:00pm, Monday-Thursday 11:00am-9pm, Friday-Saturday 11:00am-10pm.

Like I said 2 seconds ago- house salad/ chicken parm sub/ a couple of cheese slices/ a Sicilian slice- not exactly what you would call an in-depth taste test…with that in mind, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are definitely looking forward to another outing at Amici’s.

You can check menu/prices/info at amicispizzeriacafe.com.

***** Tipsy Cow, 25261 Chamber of Comerce Road, Bonita Springs 34135, (239) 949-7172.

Found a real good ice cream joint for you guys to checkout- Tipsy Cow in Bonita Springs.

With the understanding that Jeff Eats and for that matter Mrs. Jeff Eats have never met an ice cream cone nor an ice cream cup that we didn’t like- I gotta tell you that the other day we had home-made ice cream at a joint named, Tipsy Cow and it was off the chart delicious!

Real simple concept, home-made ice cream/sorbet, order-pickup at counter, rotating flavors, inside table and counter seating/ outside table seating.

You guys and Jeff Eats both know that that this Jeff Eats’ food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective game…you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I’m telling you guys that this Tipsy Cow joint’s ice cream ran circles around most of the ice cream Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had down here in sunny Florida during the past 26 years. Like I just said- subjective call…

You guys can checkout tipsycowfl.com for menu/prices/info,

The Tipsy Cow is open Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-10pm, closed Monday.

* Happy Father’s Day!
