Who's Gigging This Weekend?

Sign in to disble this ad
Whew, I got one tonight (Friday) at the Rusty Anchor on Lake Murray. Then, a festival on some rich guy's farm Sunday, the 3rd, from 5-midnight, alternating with another band. Then, Monday is the Peach Festival, 7-11, in central SC. All outdoor gigs. Sheesh, gonna be hot, but no rain they say, thank goodness. I'm also booked every weekend for all of July and August. Woohoo!

What ya'll got?

Band is hosting a blues jam tonight, at which I'll be playing the upright; Monday for a holiday show on the lake, but no fireworks--burn ban due to the drought!

Played a 5 hour gig last night and then playing on a float in a July 4th parade. Last night's gig was awesome. I got like 6 free beers and then shared a pitcher with a buddy of mine. No beer on the float though.

Only show this weekend is tonight, playing outside in the middle of my town for First Friday. I've got quite a few coming up the next few weekends, music festivals, pizza shops, etc.

<whistle> Nice gigs there! Some big ones for sure.

We're playing at the Outer Banks Brew Station tonight, in Kill Devil Hills, NC. Tomorrow playing a private party up near Middleburg, VA, then I'm off for the rest of the weekend. Tonight's gig should be big- 400+ people.

Kill Devil Hills is a beautiful area! No shortage of beautiful women either; especially this time of year.

I don't really have any gigs this weekend for once! I have my weekly Sunday jazz brunch at a local coffee house, but I've been doing that gig for so long it is pretty engrained in my weekly routine. But no night gigs, so I get to relax and catch up on some sleep!

Ya'll lookin' good, folks. Great sounding gigs ya got.

I guess my biggest gig might be the Peach Festival on Monday. The good news is, since we're following the Okaysions (sp?) we'll just play through their stuff. But, I still have to drag my rig up there, argh. There are usually thousands at the festival, but only a few hundred at the actual stage. Dunno if they've banned the fireworks or not, hope not.
