A Last Minute Gig, And Some Recording

Hello gang! Hope everyone is doing well. Did you enjoy your Labor Day weekend? I know, I did. I had some good food, worked in a long bike ride, and watched plenty of football! I always consider Labor Day weekend, to be the unofficial end of summer. School has started, football is here, and it seems to be getting dark, earlier in the evening. Of course, the actual weather is telling a different story, as we have been well over 100 degrees, for the last week. It looks like we will be in the high 90's, for the rest of the week though, so that's good! Bring on fall!

SDR, managed to get some work in, over the holiday weekend. We holed up in the studio, and recorded a live show favorite, called Island Holiday. We will be releasing it as a free download, on Friday, November 29th. That is Black Friday, by the way. It is our Christmas present to you, the fans. The only requirement is, that you need to be on our mailing list, in order to access the download. Are you on our mailing list? If not, then what are you waiting for?

We also recorded a scratch demo, for a new song that we are working on. Plus, we went over three other songs new songs, that are in pre-production. Look for these songs to start working there way into the live set, throughout the fall and winter.

I had mentioned not to long ago, that things in the music business often change in an instance, and without notice. Well, this happened yesterday. Our good friend, Marti, who is a booking agent, received a call from the Cutting Horse Saloon. They had a band cancel, for this Friday. They were inquiring, to see if she had anyone, that could fill the spot. Well, all of her other bands, were booked. We did not have anything scheduled, so she contacted Roy, to see if we wanted it. We got a hold of Brian and Cisco, to see if they would be available on such short notice, and thankfully, they were.

I'm really excited about this show. These are the types of shows, that Roy and I, really like to play. It will be a 90 minute show, with no breaks. They have a house PA, and that means a soundman! Yes! I know Roy is really happy, as he gets a break from being the soundman.

The Cutting Horse is located at 2132 Tin Top Road, Weatherford, Texas. We will start at 9:30pm, and play till 11pm. From my understanding, there will also be another band following us, but I am not sure who it is, as of press time. This is our first ever show in Weatherford! So, please come out, if you can! We have been trying to get out that way, for quite awhile now. Many thanks to Marti, for making this happen!

Well, that about does it for now. Thanks for reading, and I'll talk to ya soon!
