Weekend at the Bull and Raven
Posted by Steve | Filed under Uncategorized
Summer is not a great time to be playing in clubs, it gets really hot on stage and people would rather stay home, barbeque, and drink cheap beer. 
I think we played really well but the turnout was less than encouraging, however they were enthusiastic for both nights. I’m always one to worry about the volume, but I guess we got it right when one table of about half a dozen ladies celebrating a birthday actually moved closer!
One fellow who had seen us at “Berry Beat” came over to talk to us. He loved the music, and likened us to the Climax Blues Band from the 70’s who also featured a sax.
Now we’re hoping this great weather will hold for Friday’s performance at Heritage Park in Mission. See you there!
July 11 and 12 – Don’t Miss Us!

Berry Beat Festival Show July 5th…No Rain Allowed!!!!
Posted by Musician | Filed under Uncategorized
If you’ve tried to drive down Essendene today, you might have been frustrated by the road closures. Well tomorrow with the farmers’ market, it will be busier, so plan ahead. Take transit, or bike, or walk, or if you do have to drive, park and be prepared to walk a bit. It’s that time of year again, the annual Berry Beat Festival in downtown Abbotsford.
Tomorrow afternoon we take the stage at 1:15. There will be no rain! Got it? None!
We have put together a special 45 minute set of up-beat music that should satisfy the mixed type of audience one finds at these types of events. Come on out. We hope to see you there!
Last Show Of The Season At The Gourmet Gallery
Posted by Musician | Filed under Uncategorized
Friday night we played at the Gourmet Gallery in front of a packed house. It was a lot fun, and the audience was very appreciative.
We really enjoy playing for the crowd there, because both the audience and the band has a great deal of fun.
Thanks to Diane for having us again, and we look forward to seeing all of our friends and fans again starting in the fall.
Check back on our upcoming shows page for more details later this summer.

Well last night we did a quick run through of all the songs that we will be performing this Friday PM at the Gourmet Gallery. Our show starts at 8:00 PM sharp. From all reports, it’s going to be packed, so if you’re planning on coming, make sure you’re there a bit early in order to get a seat 
We also have some upcoming shows at the Bull ‘N Raven in downtown Abbotsford. For those of you that haven’t been there, it is the old Yorkshire Rose. Once those dates are confirmed, we’ll post the dates on the upcoming shows page.
