Thank you to everybody that came out to River City Blues Society‘s Friday After Work Brews & Blues concert series at Capital Ale House’s Downtown Music Hall on Friday the 13th!  What a way to start 2012; sharing the stage to a packed house with Andrew Alli, Pete ‘The Kidd’ Turpin, and Wes Hill on harmonicas, Geo Jacopec and Brian ‘Smokey B’ Benson on guitar and a special vocal appearance by Markiss ‘Blowfish’ Branch!  Photographer Chandler Moulton of wrote an awesome blog post in Area Code Greetings caught a few pictures:

…and our friends the Underhill’s also wrote a fantastic blog post about the night in their blog Blues, Food and Gardening!  I am so happy that we stayed after our set because the band after us was phenomenal!  The Michael Clark Band from the Tidewater area of Virginia stepped on that stage and threw down for 2+ hours for their first set!  Please check them out the next time they play near you!

Saturday night at O’Bank’s Cafe & Grill was just as amazing!  Some old friends came out and we met some new ones and we definitely gave them all a show that they will remember for a while!  Our next show at O’Bank’s Cafe & Grill will be on Saturday March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day!  Hopefully it will be nice enough outside to use the deck again because I’m sure that that night will packed!

We have two full shows, two more Blues Mondays and a fundraiser appearance before we head to Memphis, TN!  : )
