Temple

A very chilly night… 1 degree, to be exact… was put down by a very warm crowd at The Temple. Quite an eclectic mix of people, I would say, and enthusiastic to say the least! Many thanks to Bob and Mark. Not only do they know how to tell a story, they really know how to make a band feel comfortable. Great accommodations last night, thanks guys.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be sifting through recordings of the last few shows and doing a little writing as well. We’re also starting to book spring and summer events. Thanks again for all of your support, and we’ll see you out and about soon!

January 2010

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…

Old School Country Night

We had a blast stopping out to “Old School Country Night” at the Moose Lodge in Canandaigua, NY this past Thursday. Yep, the Moose Lodge, on a Thursday night. Them folks know how to throw down.

The house band was on fire, consisting of Eddie Lee, Steve Waldo and Jeff Weed from Closing Time, Ken Riber from Cold Steel and Jimmy Duvall from Ghost Riders. There were many other musicians in the audience as well. The crowd was way into it. Young and old, fast and slow dancing, traditional cheek-to-cheek and free-form whatever.

The boys in the house band invited us up for a handful of songs. It was great to have Jimmy Duvall on steel for most of our tunes. We came off stage with big ol’ smiles on our faces. Too much fun.

Needless to say, we plan on going back, and we’d love to see you there too. It’s the 3rd Thursday of the month, and you can keep tabs on all the details by following Brian Chase’s Facebook page, or by staying tuned to WBEE 92.5 FM here in Rochester. Brian is a good friend from The BEE, and he is a tireless supporter of local live music. Thanks Brian, for all of your support, and for inviting us to check out this great series!
