Cody's Friends Rescue Benefit And Some Other News

Time seems to have got the better of me over the last few weeks. Things have been very busy for me lately, both on the band and non-band front. I was looking at the calendar and realizing that October is almost gone! Where has the time gone? Then I realized, whoa! I haven't posted anything, since the first part of the month.

Well, with that said, let's get caught up, shall we? Last weekend Roy and I did an acoustic show out at Shannon Brewery. They are a new craft brewery that opened up seven weeks ago. They are located right off of Main Street in Keller. Shannon and his crew were great and we really enjoyed ourselves. They have an awesome brewery. The outdoor beer garden is really nice. The inside is doubly impressive. They have a really nice bar area with plenty of big screens to enjoy the game. If football is not your thing, then you can sit outside in the beer garden and enjoy the music and food. Fuzzy's Tacos was there this past weekend. Yum! Oh, and don't forget the beer! Very good in my humble opinion. We hope to be back out there in the not so distant future, but in the meantime, you owe it to yourself to go check them out.

This weekend, our focus will shift to our four legged friends, as we will be playing a benefit for Cody's Friends Rescue. They are a local animal rescue group based out of the north Dallas area. You can find out more about this great organization by following this link www.codysfriendsrescue.com The benefit will take place at the Whole Foods in Addison. The street address is 5100 Beltline Road. The benefit starts at high noon and will run until 3pm. This will be a full band show. Their will be plenty of four legged friends, that are looking for their forever home, so come on out! While I'm really looking forward to this show and supporting this cause, this will also be a very bittersweet day for the band, as this will be Ken's last show with us. For those of you that don't know, Ken is our drummer. I want to thank Ken for all of the hard work he put into SDR. He will be sorely missed, but we want to wish him all the best, in his future endeavors.

With that said, the search is on for a new drummer. We have one that we are planning to meet with on November 8th. If you know someone that might be looking or might be interested in our project, please have them shoot us an email to info@sanddollarrodeo.com We are not booking anymore shows for the rest of the year, as a result of this development. We are going to be using our time in November and December to find a new drummer, and get him/her up to speed on everything. We plan to resume live shows in January. So if you want to catch the full band, this will be your last chance for awhile.

We will also be working on new music during this time. We have a lot of new song ideas in the works. It's just a matter of putting them altogether.

Speaking of new songs, our new single entitled Population You & Me is in final production. We are currently mixing it this week! We are really excited about it, and can't wait for you to hear it! It will be a available at all of the usual digital outlets, so stay tuned!

Alrighty, that's about all I have for now. Thanks for your time, and remember if your looking for a new furry friend, then Saturday is your perfect opportunity! Take care and I'll talk to you soon!
