It seems like we just finished playing Railhead, yesterday. It was actually a few days ago, but man, the time is flying. It's time to buckle down, and get prepared for two more shows this weekend. I'm not complaining, mind you, but October has been crazy. That's ok, though. I like the pace. We've had shows every weekend. It really makes the week and weekend, fly by. The week seems especially short, whenever we play a Saturday night show, and then play the following Friday.
Before I jump into this week's shows though, I would like to thank everyone who came out to see us at the Railhead, last Saturday. We had a blast! It's always especially fun, when you can play for good friends, and family. The staff at Railhead, were especially nice, and treated us great! You guys be sure and mark your calendars, because we booked two more shows at the Railhead. We will be back on Saturday, January 4, 2014, and again on Saturday, February 1, 2014. For a complete recap of this show, be sure and check out Roy's blog here www.royholliday.blogspot.com There were some strange going on's, for sure! Go ahead, click it, I know you want to!
As for this week, we have a double decker scheduled for this weekend. On Friday, we will be at the Score Sports Bar. The Score is located at 7709 Camp Bowie W. Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas. This is a new venue (for us), as we've never played here before. I'm really not sure what to expect, but I'm really looking forward to it. I'm always excited about new places. The Score, has been on Camp Bowie, for quite some time though. We will start at 8:30pm, so if your in the area, please stop on by.
On Saturday night, we will move the party, down south to Somervell County, as we return to one of our favorite venues, Hollywood & Vine. I'm really looking forward to seeing Wanda, and the gang. Hollywood & Vine is located at 101 Vine Street, in Glen Rose, Texas.
If you've never been to Glen Rose, then you are really missing out. Dinosaur Valley State Park is located down there. This park contains some of the best preserved dinosaur tracks, in the world. Glen Rose is also home to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. This is a drive through animal park, that your whole family will love. The animals will come right up to your car! It's really hard to describe. They also have an awesome, old town, shopping square, and the scenery is just beautiful. I swear, the place seems green, year round!
My suggestion? Make a day of it, and then come hang with us in the evening. Hollywood & Vine is a kid-friendly place, complete with it's own sand beach, in the patio area. My daughters love this feature. My wife? Not so much. They also serve a mean burger, great fried okra, plenty of ice cold beer, soda, tea, and water!
Please note, that this will be our last show at Hollywood & Vine, for this year. They have an awesome outdoor stage. They are also able to host smaller bands, and acoustic groups on an indoor stage. We actually played on it, our first time down there, due to the temperature being in the 30's. Unfortunately, their is no way that we would all fit on this small stage, now. With the addition of Brian, plus Cisco's full drum kit, it just won't work. Plus, we would be way too loud, for the inside of this particular building. It's hard to describe, unless you've been there. It's just too big of a risk, to book an outdoor show, through the late fall and winter months. The weather could be 70 and fair, or it could be freezing. We hate to cancel shows, and this is the main reason for this decision. After this Saturday, we probably will not be returning to Hollywood & Vine, until next March or April, so c'mon down and check it out! It's always a good time.
Their is one other piece of news, that I would like to pass along to you. We found out today, that DJ Jeff of Beach Front Radio passed away today. He was the head DJ and owner of Beach Front Radio. He staged a brave and hard fought battle, with that old nemesis, known as cancer. DJ Jeff was a huge supporter of SDR, and played our music on his radio program, each day. Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to his family, friends, and all of the Beach Front Radio community.
Ok, that about wraps it up for this week. Thank you for reading, and your support of the band. We really, really appreciate it. Also, please keep your thoughts and prayers with DJ Jeff and his family, as they go through this difficult time. Gotta run. I'll talk to you soon!
