Square rocks on a Monday night
One Night Stand plays that funky music By: Angie Anaya Borgedalen Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:50 PM CST
Photo (from Matt Daugherty). A sold-out crowd at Corbin Theatre gives One Night Stand a rousing ovation after it completed a song during its show on the Liberty Square on Nov. 12. Five of the six band members are from the Northland.
It took the mostly forty- and fifty-something crowd a little while to warm up, but when it did people were dancing in the aisles, swaying with open cell phones and throwing panties on stage as One Night Stand performed at Corbin Theatre on Nov. 12.
For those who grew up listening to rock bands of the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, the classic rock band was playing what they wanted to hear: the Doobie Brothers, Aerosmith, the Eagles, Chicago, Foreigner, Stevie Wonder and the Beatles.
Among the songs that really got the sold-out audience dancing was “Play that Funky Music,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard chart in 1976. R&B favorite “Mustang Sally,” made popular by Wilson Picket, also had them going, as did “Twist and Shout” by the Beatles and “Johnny Be Good” by Chuck Berry.
The band features Gery Illgner of Overland Park, Kan., on keyboard; Neil Weatherford of Liberty on guitar; Dale Armstrong of rural Clay County on bass; Mike Dunne of Liberty on guitar; and Dan Gabrielse of Kearney on drums. All also sing. Gary Starnes of Liberty handles sound.
Although accomplished musicians, most of the men have day jobs. Dunne, a former Liberty school district principal, is retired.
Originally the band got its name when it formed 10 years ago to perform one night and then planned to disband, but they got more requests and started playing for private parties and corporate events.
“We’ve been playing one night at a time ever since,” Weatherford said.
Weatherford said they would like to perform at Corbin again.
“It was one of the most fun crowds we’ve ever played for,” Weatherford said. “They were very responsive.”
Loretta Bush of Parkville, who was one of the first to jump up to dance, said this was the first time she had heard the band and was impressed.
“They are awesome,” Bush said. “I want to be their booking manager.”
Catherine Malottki of Kansas City said she had been a big fan for about seven years and followed the group wherever it played. She said she found out about the recent Liberty performance through friends.
“I’m a groupie,” she said. “They are so fabulous, so entertaining, so talented. Their music takes me back to great times. They just get better and better.”
Kathy Bedinger, a member of the Corbin board of directors, said the classic rock brought in a different crowd than typically attended events there.
"They added a new dimension and brought in new people," Bedinger said. "It was fun, and people seemed to enjoy themselves."
Jazz night on the first Monday of the month attracts an older, more sedate crowd. The second Monday is open for various musical styles; the third Monday is classical music; and the fourth is bluegrass, said publicist Cathy Teague.
One Night Stand is available for booking by calling Mike Dunne at (816) 560-9688 or by sending him an email.
