eTown, Boulder, CO

Topic: eTown, Boulder, CO

Yesterday was our performance at eTown, with Nick and Helen Forster.

I knew it was going to be a long hard day, but we all did well. We
loaded in at 3 and proceeded to sound check. The finale song was a
CCR tune whose name I cannot remember right now. "It was long
ago.....I know...." Oh yeah, something about the rain: "Who'll Stop
the Rain" That's how tired I am now at 7am!

I got to play a little 30 second interlude with Nick, which was fun.
He had Michael's Loar mandolin and I had a 1920's L-5. We did "Billy
in the Lowground."

After the show, everyone was invited to a reception at a restaurant
called Centro here in Boulder. The food was very good, as was the
beer. Being so tired and sleepy, I came back to the hotel at 10:30
and was asleep by 11:30.

We're departing the hotel at 1:30 for the drive to DIA/DEN. Our SW
flight's at 4:45. I would imagine we'll be eating at the Frontier
Restaurant in Albuquerque.

The tour continues!

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

FitzGerald’s American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL

Date: July 2, 2009 11:59 AM Topic: FitzGerald's American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL It's amazing how Fitzgerald can alter his club to accommodate an event with so much entertainment and yet keep the Fitzgerald's feel. The groups that played were amazing, from Bill Kirchen to Marcia Ball, and of course BeauSoleil. Since we had flown in on the day of the first show, July 1, we were a bit tired but played very well inside the club stage. On Thursday, after getting rest, we played the outdoor stage and really kicked it up. Points to note for this trip, and more specifically O'Hare airport: Continental has moved its gates to the United Terminal, in anticipation of the Star Alliance merger later this year. No more Northwest and Delta!
