SPACE, Evanston, IL, 12/31/09

Date: January 1, 2010 9:51 AM
Topic: SPACE, 12/31/09

The show was good: lots of people, lots of good energy, dancing,
listening, stuff like that. The venue, SPACE, was great and we were
treated very well by the staff and crew (which is most of the time!).
The venue is actually a restaurant and a recording studio and a
performance space all in one. Very interesting.

We played two sets, starting at 10:30. The second set began around
11:45 and we all rang in the New Year with champagne. We finished up
around 12:55, and believe me, on account of the length of the day, we
were all ready to get to the hotel to crash.

Happy New Year!

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!

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show, Cranston, RI, 2/10/18

We’ve played the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show many times. It’s put on by Church Wentworth, who also produces the Ninigret Park Labor Day Festival. It was the 26th year of the Mardi Gras show, and the place was rocking! We played a rousing dance set, and we were followed by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, old friends and great musicians.

The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, 2/9/18

We played the Turning Point on Friday, 2/9.  If you’re not familiar with the place, it’s downstairs from a restaurant, housed in a rather small bar.  John McAvoy, the owner, is quite a character, and he always treats us great.  The place holds 78 max, and I believe there were 85 there! Some day I’d like to see what Piermont looks like in the daylight! We’ve never been able do that.   The audience was very receptive, no dancing allowed (no room), and we played a pretty good ‘sit down set.’ We look forward to our next appearance there!
