Approx 3000 as weekend headliners at the Neewollah Festival in Independence, KS.

Approx 1400 headlining a radio event in Oklahoma City.

Both were last year within a month of each other. Great times, but the downside is that crowds of 200 just don't seem very big anymore, but are still our bread and butter.

3000 (and change) at a beach concert my band plays every summer. Great fun but my pedalboard was coated in dust at the end of the night! Whoever said "the dirt keeps the funk" never played at Esker Point Beach!

Approx. 17,000, Winnipeg Folk Festival Main Stage in '94. Second runner up about 11,000 opening for Billy Idol (!) in 80something @ the Wisconsin State fairgrounds IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! Could see every last one of 'em. It really makes a difference. When you've got lights in your eyes you can't see but the first few rows.

Summer '98 – City Market in Kansas City
My band got a prime slot around sunset. We played to over five thousand people and about another thousand came in during our set.
Danger Bob went on after us to a crowd of over seven thousand!

Played one song on a Mexico City live TV show in a square... I would say 3000+ in the audience.

Also played with a Mariachi in Israel in a small stadium... 5000? But I was playing Vihuela, a 5 string small guitar.
