Milton Jerome & the Overdrive Classic Rock Show joined Glamourpuss Blues Band and Christian Rock Band,
Higher Ground, to celebrate Canada Day in Moncton's Centennial Park. Overdrive headlined a street dance in downtown Moncton
1 year ago where bike enthusiasts gathered to flaunt their Harley muscle and metal. Overdrive has performed at several
festivals and corporate events over the past year and a half. Prior to Overdrive, Milton spent five seasons (2000 - 2004)
as lead singer of the GTO Band.

A similar picture could have been taken from this same location at the 2005 H.O.G. Rally in downtown Moncton. Harley
owners and other bike enthusiasts from accross Atlantic Canada converged on Moncton August 18th - 21st. A street
dance on Main St. featuring Milton Jerome and Overdrive was one of the many events on the menu. The event also previewed
a Brian Adams tribute. Milton took this photo during a performance in 2002 at the Atlantic National's Car Show.

OLD SCHOOL Rocked at the Fox:
I had the pleasure of catching OLD SCHOOL's Act a couple of years ago at the Fox n Hound
in Riverview. The band recently played at the 2006 Memorial Cup at the Moncton Coliseum. With seasoned musicians
and crowd interaction, this is an act not to be missed. Add to that, the inovation of "Digital Craig's" guitar sounds
echoeing the likes of Nickleback and others, these guys sound like the real thing. As for the on and off stage antics of John
Guitar (Formerly Boogie Brothers), why would anyone let this guy get away? John has a wide vocal range and is compfortable
with just about any style of music. Young, old or not sure, you've got to check these guys out!
Pictured is 2003 Photo are band members; Jon Guitar - vocals, Steve Stewart - guitar, Craig O'Neill - guitar,
Ian Gosbee - bass and Frank Hache - drums.
