CALIFORNIFIDE!

Had a great solo trip to Los Angeles this past weekend.   Thank you again Sunset Boulevard and LAX for giving me the best people watching experience!!  A BIG HUGE THANKS  to LEFT COAST WINE BAR in Glendale, CA for having me play Monday night….a very intimate show and the sound was incredible.  Rochelle has quite an amazing spot there and if you are ever in the LA. area…it is a must that you check out her place!  I will be back there again in the Spring and looking forward to it.  Thanks, also, to my good friend Paul Redel for playing guitar and new friend Mark Bates for singing and playing piano (http://www.myspace.com/markbatesmusic) ….till next time my friends.

Just Great at “Just Goods”

Thank you to everyone who came out to Just Goods in Rockford, IL last Friday night.  A beautiful listening room and you could hear a pin drop…the audience was fantastic.  We were able to play the songs as they were intended to be heard and to support a great local business that sells Fair Trade products!!  Thank you John R. Connell for capturing the moment….

Thank You Iowa!

Thank you Iowa for a fabulous weekend!  We played Friday night in Des Moines Iowa at Gas Lamp…our first venture to Des Moines and I must say it kinda blew our minds.  GREAT venue and crowd!!  Thank you Abelardo’s for the late night dinner that probably saved all our asses from a massive hangover.

We stripped the band down to a three piece for Saturday nights show at Monk’s Kaffee Pub in Dubuque.  A much tamer crowd and more intimate show…it was a lovely evening as it always is in Dubuque

We also decided to make our trip more interesting for ourselves and our fans by having a contest.  We picked a theme song for our little weekend tour and posted pics, on our Facebook fan page, along the way to give hints to our fans.  We had a lot of fun trying to find the clues…thanks to I80 Truck Stop and Way Back Records in Des Moines, we were able to find most of our clues.  I’m left with the purchase of a Buck Owens record that I’ll be spinning sometime soon.  The song was “Looking Out My Back Door” by Creedence Clearwater Revival and CONGRATS to Keith Davenport of Rockford, IL for guessing the tune. He walks away with a guest list spot to our show this Friday at Just Goods  in Rockford and a free signed copy of the “Long Long Road” EP…..

OVERALL…I think we made some Fans4LIfe!  Looking forward to invading Iowa again in March!
