Bob Gatewood Friends of the BayFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE–Put-in-Bay, Ohio. The official song of the village of Put-in-Bay, “Friends of the Bay,” has a brand new music video set for release on Tuesday, December 30 at noon on You Tube and www.bobgatewood.com. The song has been freshly re-recorded by Bob Gatewood and produced by Country Music Award winning guitarist Tom Bukovac. The accompanying video was shot by Nick James Productions this past Labor Day in downtown Put-in-Bay and features hundreds of weekend revelers! Gatewood wrote “Friends of the Bay” some 20 years ago, and since then its heartfelt lyrics have become a popular singalong at parties and celebrations on and off the island. Hence, the Put-in-Bay Village Council designated it as the Island’s official song. The new recording of “Friends of the Bay” will also be available for download at www.bobgatewood.com after the release. Look for it on iTunes, Spotify and Pandora on January 15th.
