I regret to announce that Small Town Sleeper will not be playing The July 6th First Friday Event in Downtown Urbana. Before I go into detail, I would like to encourage everyone to still attend the event as “Hollow Point” and Urbana’s very own “Moore” will still be playing. I can honestly say that the entire STS crew was looking forward to this fantastic hometown event. We are currently in the process of setting up a make-up date, although no details are available yet…it is in the works!!! We want to thank Joe, Real Estate II, and everybody involved with First Friday’s for going above and beyond for us…we promise to make it up to all of you!
With that said, STS will not be playing First Friday because we have been asked to be the support for DAUGHTRY (a.k.a American Idol Chris Daughtry) at this years 2007 SummerFest in Milwaukee Wisconsin. This is the world’s largest music festival, and we will be playing the main stage at the 23,000 capacity Marcus Amphitheater. We will be the main support playing an hour set right before DAUGHTRY.
Again, this is a huge honor for us, and we appreciate your support and understanding about the First Friday show…
Before we get a ton of mail, yes we know it is not listed on DAUGHTRY’s tour schedule, but trust us, he will be there as it is listed on summerfest.com. Also, we are not listed as the opener…yet. This is all brand new news (as of today actually), but we received the contract and details are being finalized as I type… Give it a few days for all the details to go live throughout all the media outlets…
Thanks in advance for your understanding!
Troy, Derek, Will and Dann
