Park Bench = fun times

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!

Live Album Survey!

We’re planning on releasing a live album! Recording is slated for December 26th at Lock’s Stock & Barell, which is just a stone’s throw from Bristol Mountain Ski Resort. If last year’s Christmas show at Lock’s is any indication, this year’s show will be a wild one for sure.

Here’s the really cool part: we want YOU to pick the songs!

2 Nights, 2 New Venues

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!

We got a good bit of it recorded, so look for a posting sometime soon of this show. Its dedicated to Bert and Ernie… and that’s all I gawt to say about thawt.

Next gig… Rochester bound.

Barn Bash ’09

What a nutty night. Rains came, power amps blew, and we had just enough equipment in the car to scab together a makeshift PA inside. Thanks to all who hung in there and for your unconditional support. There were many diehard BJ fans in the crowd and you were fantastic. Thanks also to Devall Music, 40 Rod Lightning, and the rest… and, of course, Ben Beavers. One for the record books…

Our next show is on 10/24 in Williamson. Details to follow. More shows are being booked in Buffalo, Corning, Rochester, and hopefully Ithaca, so stay tuned.
