Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

Topic: Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

The band took the 'south route' to I-15 to Helena, across the Lehi
Pass, the same one Lewis and Clark took in 1804. The views were
stunning! And the road wasn't paved, which added to the drama.

We stopped in Dillon, MT for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant, and the
food, when we did get it, was good.

We got to Helena around 3:30 and were off to the venue by 5pm. The
Myrna Loy Theatre used to be the Helena jail, which is interesting.
Gary Cooper was also from Helena, and there were posters from both of
their movies in the lobby, as well as one of Myrna Loy's dresses.

The show was well attended, and everyone was tired, probably due to
the elevation we've been at for the past few days. It's hard to
adjust to higher elevations when you come from below sea level.

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!
