Happy New Year everyone! We’ve some some great things since our last post. Early December shows at the Roost and Johnny’s (a new room for this band, and a great time was had…. we’ll be back) were followed by the purchase of a new mixing console. We’ll be recording all of our upcoming shows with it and splicing together a “best of” live album. The first installment was recorded at the sold-out holiday show at Lock’s. Thank you to everyone who spent some holiday time with us!

We’re gearing up for two shows this month, starting with our debut at The Sportsman’s in Buffalo. We know some great musicians who hang here, notably our good friends Dee Adams, Alan Whitney, Leroy Townes, and Steve Woolsey. Heck, this place has been offering the best in local, regional, and national entertainment for 100 years. We’re honored to be coming to play. We’ll be there on the 23rd.

On 1/30 we’ll make a long awaited return to Canandaigua when we take the stage at the Temple. I used to hang at the Temple years ago… haven’t set foot in it since. I checked it out last week and I loved what I saw. It’s got that same Temple vibe but its more hip, classy, and definitely built for bands. Nice job, Bob. Looking forward to being there.

Feel free to keep posting your suggestions for a live album, we’ll be recording gigs for the next few months. For that matter, reply on any of these blog updates. Love to hear from ya! Mean it.

Lastly, a big shout out to our boy Chad and his family, whose boy Jason has checked out fine. God bless…

Park Bench = fun times

Brian — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:13:02 +0000

It’s not all the time that we play a new room and come away feeling as good as we did last Saturday. Thanks to Tony, Glen, and the staff at The Park Bench, Monroe Ave, Rochester. They made us feel right at home and our following really dug the place. We’ll post future dates there as soon as we get them.

This coming Saturday is Abilene, on Liberty Pole way. Coming soon is Johnny’s on Culver Rd and also a live taping at Lock’s Stock & Barrel, down in the Bristol Hills, Rt64. Some other surprises are coming along as well, including some new songs we’ve been working on. Thanks for all of your support!

2 Nights, 2 New Venues

Brian — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:06:32 +0000

We’re appearing at two new rooms in the next two weekends! This Saturday night we’ll be at the newly moved and renovated Park Bench, on Monroe Ave. People are saying great things about this room and we’re looking forward to playing in the Monroe Ave area again.

Abilene, on Liberty Pole Way, has taken its place as one of Rochester’s foremost Americana music rooms. Their stable of regular bands is Rochester’s who’s-who of country/folk/rock. It’s got a very unique vibe and layout, and we’re excited to debut there on November 20th.

See you there!
