    Outdoor show and of course it pours during our set lol, the crowd ran for cover. My wife shot this from backstage pretty happy overall
     
  2. We have a gig tomorrow, great spot we play at frequently with a nice deck. But rain is looming in the forecast so we'll see.

    Cool video, sucks about the weather.

    I'm over near Buffalo. We feel your pain. It's done nothing but rain, and feels like fall weather here in June.

    I played an outdoor concert like that when it rained right up to show time. The band was under a canopy but the audience was out on the grass. The rain stopped and there was nobody in the audience.. they all booked. We played to the nobody and got paid. ;)

    One of the pitfalls of outdoor gigs......bad weather.

    Hey this is literally about to be me in another five hours! Playing a set for a biker festival today and it looks like crud out here (rain supposedly starting in another hour). Also, I think today is one of the two opening days before crazy amounts of ppl turn up for the weekend. So I'm thinking there won't be a huge turn out between that and the rain...
