GrapeFest

Ahh...September, one of my favorite months of the year. We start it off with a holiday, football season kicks in to high gear, and the temperatures start to come down. What's not to like, right? September is also a huge festival month. It seems like their is at least one festival happening in or around our area, on every weekend, of this month. The one to keep your eye on this week is the 28th Annual GrapeFest.

The festival starts on Thursday, September 11th, and runs through September 14th. This is billed as a wine festival but also includes so much more. Provided you are over 21 years of age, you will have the opportunity to sample premium Texas wines, Washington wines and Italian wines. Many of the available wines, to sample, out at the 28th Annual GrapeFest are not normally available in Texas. Modern day Italy is the second-largest producer of wines, in the world. You will be able to sample Italian wines from some of the most popular regions of the country.

If wine is not your thing, never fear! They also have plenty of ice cold beer available. They will feature both domestic and craft beers. My advice, try a craft brew! You can get the regular stuff anywhere. And, if beer is not your thing either, then surely festival food is right? They will have plenty of your favorite festival foods, including turkey legs, corn dogs, funnel cakes (yum!), wild game sausage, and who knows what else!

Their will also be plenty of activities for the kids, including a carnival and midway, that will be stacked full of games and rides. Their will also be ice carving demonstrations. I'll have to check that out. I'm always looking for a new project that involves my chainsaw!

And of course, it wouldn't be a festival without live music, now would it? GrapeFest will feature five stages of live entertainment. The music starts Thursday afternoon and will run all weekend. We are so excited that we were invited to participate. We will be playing on the Bud Light stage at 3:30pm on Friday, September 12th. So c'mon out and start your weekend early, with us. We will be their until 5pm. Oh, and the best thing, free admission into the festival until 5pm Friday!

GrapeFest will take place along historic Main Street, in downtown Grapevine. The Bud Light stage is located in the 300 block of Main Street. For more information on GrapeFest, be sure and check out their website located here www.grapevinetexasusa.com/grapefest-2014/

One other quick note that I would like to share, is that we are going to start recording sessions next weekend for the new album! We are really excited, as production is officially underway! It's still way too soon to announce a release date, but to hold you over, we are planning on releasing a live favorite via download. More details will be forthcoming on this, over the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Ok, that's all I have for now. Time for me to go get some rest. It's been a busy week, behind the scenes. Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon!
