Kathleen Sheridan Productions
From: Kathleen Sheridan
Kathleen Sheridan has held a variety of positions in the entertainment / hospitality business for almost twenty years. In 2007, after working with other entertainment agencies for ten years, Sheridan decided to open her own agency. Kathleen has coordinated events from start to finish. She has been handling mostly the entertainment side for the past ten years and it became her specialty, “I love working with a client and really getting to know just what they would like for their event, be it wedding, corporate event or private party.” Sheridan believes “it is important to know just what the client really wants, not what an entertainer is trying to sell them.” It is funny what inexperienced people try to do a on their own and nine times out of ten they are sorry for doing just that. “I hope that I can provide a service to just this type of person so they don’t have to worry about their event and that the entertainment that they hire are professional,” sums up Kathleens approach to her clients.

Play Bass?? Want Laid Back Bandmates??
We are a laid back bunch of guys from age 20-45 who want to have fun playing music, doing shows and make some cash at the same time! We are not just friends, we are ‘band mates’. Every one has a say in the songs we do and the shows we book. Practice sessions are held every Sunday on the NE side of San Antonio, 3 miles outside of Loop1604 off of IH10East. We ‘are not’ a party band - no pressure to smoke or drink. Everyone has artistic freedom to add their own flair to the songs we perform. This is a side thing for us! We all have full time day jobs to pay the bills. You can be as active in the band as you want to be, finding bookings, making flyers, etc, We have played free when there is a possible paying gig in the mix. We have also played at benefits when invited. Cream, Allman Bros., Hendrix, Beatles, Pink Floyd, pretty much anything we decide to play. Mainly Classic Rock & Blues but if it sounds good to the majority we will go for it. All Ages Welcome To Audition.

LAUGHTER IN A POLICE STATE

The government say that its what we need
to work until we die serving someone else's greed
they separate divide but its the same red blood we bleed
rob us of the fruit but we'll always have the seed
so people are speaking out against what they see
searching for the truth within the promises of liberty
people are imprisoned for what they believe
or is it just propaganda

Out of the gate we're all quick to defend
the sell out positions white-washed of content
to our hearts discontent
too afraid of our failures
faith and future unkown
do we dare and reach beyond it

You screamed in my face but I waited quietly
religious leaders, politicians, and the lies you say
from the economic poisons of the enemy
to the bottom of the bottle where the poor man stay
or is it just propaganda

Out of the gate we're all quick to defend
the sell-out position white-washed of content
to our hearts discontent
too afraid of our failures
faith and future unkown
do we dare to reach beyond it
do we dare to stand alone
do you feel the pressure rising ?

Pressure rising
push the future
pressure rising
in the present we
push the future
in a house divided
we will watch it fall
