The Shedd, 10/1/9

Topic: The Shedd, 10/1/9

Attendance was a bit low at the Shedd but it was a good concert. As
usual, we were treated well by the OFAM (Oregon Festival of American
Music) folks, and everyone was in good spirits.

The Shedd is an unusual venue: It's a converted hall with practice
rooms and presentation rooms and other features common to schools.
The performance area is a large hall with balcony seating. Although
OFAM generally focuses on the classical arts, the organization also
puts on concerts of popular music. This was the band's third
appearance at the Shedd, and, as I said, we had a good time.

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!
