All I'm saying is that Crandaddy didn't live up to all the hype that people were giving me all this time.
They're okay.
I guess their main attraction is that they're just a bunch o' dads from Cranbury?
Okay, fine.
But, as far as musicianship...............they're still just okay.
No great shakes.
Nothing here to get all that excited about folks.
I half expected to see Bruce and the E Street Band the way everyone was talking.
I get it that they're a bunch of guys who just fart around on the weekends. Thats exactly what they sound like! |

Does anyone here realize that Crandaddy played with BBQ Bob at a Christmas party jam and they were outta sight?
It's funny how people that probably can't even hum a tune can be so critical of musicians.
I am sure BBQ Bob and Crandaddy are getting a kick out of this board. It's good to see that some people here got it right and defended these guys.
I don't think I know of too many Cranbury based bands ... We should all appreciate the fact that they are willing to play for free and entertain us.
Just my two cents. |

Both Barbecue Bob and Crandaddy are great! No need to pick one over another. |

If ya don't like Barbecue Bob, then you don't know much about the roots of American music .................sorry to inform you.
His so-called "swamp blues" is the foundation of 1950s rock & roll.
The type of sound that influenced Creedence, Led Zeppelin, Elvis, Rolling Stones and a myriad of other modern bands.
While you may like Crandaddy, Bob's music reaches back into the past. Without his influence there would be no Crandaddy!!!!!
What would they play?
Jazz?
YUCK! |

With a young child a later start would be hard for us. However, a 1pm start with perhaps a musician or band that caters to kids would be good. |
How about The Wiggles? |

Guys,
Crandaddy appreciates the love.
BBQ Bob is a friend of Crandaddy and we all dig his music. We jammed with him last Christmas and we thought he was funny and cool as hell.
Its too bad some of you didn't enjoy Crandaddy so much and some of you didn't enjoy Bob but ya know.... different strokes for different folks.
The band is grateful for all the people that came out and supported us... especially the cheering section of little kids. That was awesome.
We hope to see many of you on October 30th, 2010 at Brewster's Pub in East Windsor. We are throwing a major Halloween Costume Bash with prizes, giveaways and drink specials. There's no cover charge... its our way of saying thanks for all the support.

I totally loved Crandaddy. BBQ Bob sent me packing after the first song.
I think that Crandaddy or The Crandaddies (Whatever they call themselves) were way better than the 60s British Invasion band they had closing the show last year at Cranstock. They play cool music. Frankly, I never saw a cover band do Sultans of Swing. That was totally surprising and off the beaten track. The guitar player was excellent and the whole vibe was upbeat and fun. They closed out with a Santana song that totally rocked and had everyone dancing. They should have been asked to play much longer.
BBQ Bob and The Briquettes may be professional musicians
but they should warn people ahead of time that they might experience suicidal thoughts during his performances. Maybe even have someone confiscate sharp objects, too. They should take a page from Crandaddy and realize that you dont play depression era music to a large group of people that want to have a good time.
I saw Crandaddy at Brewster's Pub when they put on a show for the Cranbury-Plainsboro Little League. The band was awesome and the dancefloor was packed all night long.
BBQ Bob could probably pack The Elms or an emergency room but that's about it.
Rock on Crandaddies! |

Gee, if bickering about the good and bad of local establishments wasn't enough, we've now sunken to a new low .... band bashing. Can't we all just get along? |

You're too kind... literally.
Crandaddy brought out hundreds of people and rocked the park. The biggest complaint was they didn't get to play long enough.
By contrast, Bore BQ Bob and the Snore Gigs played to a half dozen long-tooth listeners as they chased all the MILFs out of the park with the same set they've been playing since the White Album. |
you are a dork |
Apparently another long-tooth loser has decided to weigh in. Bring it on grampa! You don't have enough dentu-cream to get into a jawing match with me. |

Yeah, Crandaddy is an okay band.
I'm just saying that they are NOT the second incarnation of the Beatles like everyone makes them out to be. I've heard high school kids in garage bands who are just as good. They're okay as a bunch of guys farting around on the weekend. But, they're not great.
I wouldn't pay money to see them.
Thats all I'm saying. |
