Well we were all pretty lax about bookings over the holidays (nothing better than spending time with loved ones...oh and family too). So the first of the year started off a bit slow for us. But things are picking up nicely now. In fact we just picked up Thursday nights at RG's again as the Selle Brothers decided to take a little time off to learn new material. So we'll be playing there starting next Thursday (Jan. 24th) through the end of February.
Speaking of February it's our biggest month yet. We've got RG's on Thursdays, we're playing the Grand Opening of Bass Pro Shop in Independence (2-nights) and we've got Timbercreek Bar & Grill in Louisburg, KS and Jersey's. In all it's only 9 shows, but the pay is really great. So I can't complain. There is one week that will be BUSY as hell though. The week of February 16th (saturday) to Februar 23rd (saturday...yeah that's a week and a day...so sue me! lol).
That week we play Saturday the 16th at Timbercreek Bar & Grill from 8pm to midnight, then on Wednesday the 20th we play the Grand Opening of Bass Pro Shop in Indendence from 5:30pm to 8:30pm, then the next morning (Thursday Feb. 21st) we play again at Bass Pro Shop from 8am to noon and then that same evening we play at RG's from 7pm to 10pm. Then on Friday (the next day) February 22nd and again on Saturday February 23rd we play at Jersey's Sports Cafe in Independence. WOW...did you catch all that? lol
That will most assuredly be a FUN week! I still get tickled that people actually PAY me to do this. I'm thankfull that they DO...but it's just so much FUN that (in this day and age) you'd think it'd be illegal! lol
Anyway...tonight we are back at Timbercreek Bar & Grill in Louisburg, KS from 8pm to midnight (or later if the crowd is good). I hope to see any of you that reside within driving distance at the bar tonight. Don't forget (as always) that if you mention that you heard about us on MySpace you can get a FREE Personally Autographed 8 1/2 x 11 color photograph of the band (supplies limited).
See ya'll soon!
