Guess we passed the audition mates ! What a beautiful night all the way around. Seems the wet weather spell has been broken at last. Thanks to all who came out and danced ( and swam). Starting to look at Fall Gig dates. Should have some up soon - stay tuned.

DAVEFEST 2006

Well, more than a little late in posting this but many thanks to Dave & Caryl Stouber for a great time down in Landenberg, PA on July 15th. More wet hot and steamy weather could not deter the music, even if the PA & speakers did end up a tad “cardboard-sounding” by the end of the night. We had planned a little weather –related subset with Like a Hurricane, Cold Rain & Snow and Summer Breeze to sort of highlight the zany weather incidents of our summer gigs this year. Turns out Morning or actually Evening Dew would have been the most appropriate choice ! I for one really appreciated diving into that pool at the end of the night.

Great tuneage from the PSU “reunion” band that kicked things off followed by the always tight and smooth sounds of KIWI. Don’t know them? Worth a listen at http://www.kiwiband.com/ . – you won’t be disappointed. Special thanks to Joe Zeppy for jumping on as our fourth vocalist – eeeee haw!

For those of you who asked, we’re in the process of getting audio up on this website and should have some nice live clips up from recent gigs very soon. Thanks for following the band and for all of the positive comments and support.

Fundraiser this weekend down in Delaware County and then Ricky Boscarino’s fabulous Luna Park Festival in Sussex County NJ in late August. E-mail us for details (since both are by invite) or to book a gig date with THEY KNOW. If anyone else is interested in joining/posting on this blog please let me know – it’s easy !
