Hello there! Before I start with the new stuff, I just want to mention that we had a fun week, this past week. We had two great shows, this past weekend. On Friday, we played at the Texas Food Truckin' Fest. This was an awesome time, although, I did end up with a pretty bad case of indigestion. On Saturday, we celebrated Marti's birthday at Judge Bean's. This was a very unique show, and we were in rare form. With the exception of the first two songs, we worked without a setlist. We had Marti call out the songs, and we played them. We also had a few impromptu moments along the way, including an acapella sing along, of the old David Allen Coe song, You Never Even Called Me By My Name. For more details on these shows, be sure and check out Roy's blog, found here http://royholliday.blogspot.com Roy does a blog post, after every show that we play. He includes, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thankfully, most of it has been good!
Ok, enough of that, ha ha! Let's get down to new business. Our first album review, is on the books. The Star-Telegram reviewed our album, this past Friday. They have a weekend section, called DFW.com. If you are interested in reading the review, you can click on this link http://dfw.com/2013/04/24/783630/country-music-whiskey-folk-ramblers.html
On the radio front, we have had two more stations, pick up our album. The first one is called Permanent Vacation Radio, out of St. Augustine, Florida. You can check them out here, www.pvradio.com The second station, is Clay's Country Radio, out of Ireland! They are currently playing the title track, off of the album, "GPS To Nowhere". You can visit Clay's here www.clayscountryradio.com so log on and request GPS!
We have also submitted "GPS To Nowhere" to 95.9 The Ranch. They are a big station, in the DFW Metroplex, that specializes in artist's from Texas. Their request line phone number is 817-787-1959. So, if you would like to hear us on this station, please call and request "GPS To Nowhere" by Sand Dollar Rodeo. We really appreciate your support. You guys and gals, are the ones that make this thing happen! Their website is located here http://www.959theranch.com You can also request the song, from their website.
Show, shows, did someone mention shows? Oh yeah, that was me! This weekend, we will be back at it again. I am very excited, about this weekend's shows. On Friday night, we will be playing at the Wild Rooster, in Fort Worth, along with the Whiskey Confessions Band, out of Quitman, Texas. SDR will go on at 9:30, and Whiskey Confessions will be on about 30 minutes, after our set is concluded. For more information on Whiskey Confessions, you can check out their website here, www.WhiskeyConfessionsBand.com The Wild Rooster is located at 3204 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth, TX. You can check out their website here, www.wildroosterbar.com This should be a fun night, so come on down!
Saturday, will be a quick turnaround for us, as we will be playing at Mayfest. Mayfest, ironically enough, is being held just down the road from the Wild Rooster, at Trinity Park. I may just spend the night on a park bench! We will be playing on the Riverbank Stage from 6:30 to 7:30pm. Our good friends, August & J, will also be appearing at Mayfest. They will be on the Shale Exploration Art Stage, from 8:30 to 10pm, on Saturday. For more information on Mayfest, be sure and check out their website located here, www.mayfest.org The weather for Saturday will be unseasonably cool, with a daytime high of 66 degrees and wind gusts between 12 and 20 mph. So, if you are coming out, grab a light jacket, or a heavy one, if you need it. This has been the coolest spring, I can ever remember. As I sit here typing this, it is 45 degrees, on May 2, in Texas!. We are under a freeze warning, as lows will be near, or below freezing in my area. When I arrived home this evening, my wife was covering up our garden, with bed sheets! We are normally in the mid 80's to low 90's, by this time of year. Oh well, nothing you can do about it, right?
Well, that's all I have for this week. Short and sweet, but a lot of information. Stay tuned for more, soon! See ya!
