Davina Yannetty is funny. She sometimes sings funny songs while playing the ukulele. On this particular occasion at the Davis Square Theatre, Davina Yannetty sang two funny songs while playing the ukulele to close out a funny night that was a fundraiser for her funny uncle, Joe Yannetty, who is battling just about the least funny thing there is, cancer. If laughter is the best medicine, Joe should be better in no time.

Local comedian Joe Yannetty is battling Squamous Cell Carcinoma. To raise some money to help offset the cost of treatment, a fundraiser was held at the Davis Square Theatre. Among the performers that night was Dave Mirabella. A couple of stripped-down Rationales tunes between comedians was a nice touch.

The Rationales write the songs that make the whole club sing. That club was TT’s for the On the Town with Mikey Dee 25th Anniversary show. I’ve got the warm fuzzies.
The Rationales are top notch. Top notch, I tell ya!
All of New Parade, a Top 40 cover medley with Davina Yannetty and a holiday hoedown? The Sheila Divine gave us all an early Christmas present during OldJack’s Holiday Homage at The Sinclair.
The Rationales always have a way of putting a smile on my face. At OldJack’s Holiday Homage, the band covered “Do They Know It’s Christmas” to close their set, changed up the words to one of their own tunes to make it a holiday number and released a new five song EP. See what I mean?
Davina Yannetty and Phil Wisdom (Butterknife) have performed together before. We’ve also seen Davina jump up on stage with Dave Mirabella and fill in with his band (The Rationales). So when we were putting together The Daykamp Poster & Photo Show at TT’s, we came up with the crazy idea to cram these three friends together into a singularity* of harmonic songcraft. It worked! Donkeypunch Junior was born. It was cool to hear these musicians interpret each other’s songs with this ad hoc trio. They even busted out some Traveling Wilburys. What a great way to start a night.

Can Corin Ashley write a great pop song? Yes, he can. He’s written quite a few of them. Sometimes he plays shows with a killer band (like this one to celebrate TT’s 40th Anniversary) where you find yourself smiling ear to ear admiring his ability to entertain you with those songs.
Davina Yannetty reminded me she is one of the most entertaining entertainers in town with her set for the TT’s 40th Anniversary bash. Don’t believe me? See for yourself when she opens Night #1 of the Daykamp Poster and Photo Show with Phil Wisdom and Dave Mirabella.
We’re putting on a a couple of shows with rock bands, photos and posters at TT’s in October! It’s going to be more awesome than we can put into words. That’s why we had Richard Bouchard do it for us! Here’s a special guest post from the Indie Rock Ranger with the details…
When I was first hired to do booking at TT the Bear’s Place, one of the first things I wanted to do was set up a show with Nicole and Johnny Anguish of Daykamp Creative and Daykamp Music, respectively. I’ve been hiring Nicole to create show posters since back in the Boston Band Crush days, usually giving her no guidance other than the list of bands and the date of the show. She always delivers an incredibly eye-catching, colorful design that doesn’t just provide information; it’s something I want to hang on my wall forever. Then there’s Johnny, always front and center for a rock show before posting amazing photo recaps on his Daykamp Music website. They tirelessly support the music community here, and knowing that I wasn’t the only one to feel that way, I felt that it was high time they present a show. Not just any show, mind you, I wanted them to pick the bands – artists they’ve worked with over the years and bands they’re longtime fans of – but I also wanted to display their work in the club for everyone to see. After some brief discussion, Nicole emailed me back: “We’re thinking we need to do two nights…”
Here’s what they came up with:
Thursday 10/10
(Tickets | Facebook Event)
Friday 10/18
(Tickets | Facebook Event)
Two night pass: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3781134
Posters and photos from the Daykamp empire will be on display for the entire week between shows.
