I met alot of people at the Inferno (YMCA) back “in the day” and some have stayed life long friends, like Mike. Mike has always had a love for the music of the 60′s and knows more about the Mansfield music scene than anyone I know.
After being involved with all the Infernofests, it was time for Mike to have his 45 minute set on the Infernofest stage. He put together a band and named it Shindig (no dancers but would have added a nice touch).
Was great to see Mike shine along with bandmates Tom Peterson and Dan Maurice. Mario Kyrakides was to have drummed for Shindig but was unable to make the gig, so Es-Shades drummer, Rich Carmichael did the honors. Shindig’s love of the early Beatles and Stones was evident in their set and the tunes brought back lots of great memories for many of us.
Shindig was also joined by local Mansfield legend, Sir Tim of Sir Timothy and the Royals/Ohio Express, Tim Corwin, who pulled out the stops doing an Express hit. Thanks Tim for coming back to the Infernofest stage.

A big thanks to Mike for putting together this band and get us all in the groove!
