Great show, great singers (John Sharples and Erica Smith) and a great city. What more do you want? Nothin'! Here's a review...

Fantastic show! Freddy's is like playing on an ancient indian burial ground, only with more dancing...and beer! Is Freddy's going to survive? If not, we gave it a fiery farewell. A solid A. And thanks to Jason Reese (who made this site!) for his sizzling sax playing. Excelsior!
And, check out the Videos section--we have five new clips from the Parkside Lounge in NYC from 2009!

Happy new year!
Click on the link "buy on iTunes" and you can get our brand-new album. Then, you'll be prepared for our upcoming shows. I'm looking forward to giving Freddy's a decent sendoff (it's being torn down so the NJ Nets can build their new arena in the neighborhood. Good grief!) We'll see you on Boot Hill.

Hi! My wife and I moved to New Jersey last summer. Where have you been?
After our canceled June shows (rain, rain rain), the World's Fair is going on summer vacation. We're also getting the new LP, called "The Shore" ready for mid-fall release. Plus, we're looking for a new bass player, since the top-drawer Dave Dorbin opted out to spend more time with his fabulous family. As a founding World's Fair member, we wish Dave well!
*Update* Alan Young has joined us on the low-end! He is a great friend of the band, and I can't wait for the next gig!
AND, are you ready to join the TW fan club?
TW & the World's Fair Took No Prisoners!!!
