The Elwood Splinters Blues band have a pretty decent following in our area, but this entire Facebook shitstorm is shocking to me:
But check out the bar's response:
Since when is it the band's responsibility to advertise on the radio???
Musicians be on the alert. Please tag every musician you know and or share. The Riverside Bar in the 100 Center owner is a liar and thief. Elwood Splinters Blues Band played at Riverside tonight. They hired US. The crowd was very small tonight. Sometimes that happens. We had an agreement to be paid a certain amount. After playing for THREE hours the owner came up to the stage with three security guards and cussed at our band leader and refused to pay us. WE WERE STIFFED. A paying customer stood up to defend us because he wanted to see the rest of the show. The owner told him to "sit his ass down". NEVER should a loyal customer be treated that way .
I realize that as an owner she reserved the right to cancel future shows or not hire us again. But we provided a service and were not paid. It's the same amount of work to set up and tear regardless. Riverside bar is a Smokey dump that has had shooting. No wonder our fans didn't attend. I wouldn't. Soso food and most of the people hanging there were less than desirable. There is a reason it was empty. The wait staff was nice and not everyone there were bad people obviously. But the owner is a thief. PERIOD
