This was a fun, but grueling boot-camp style filler gig for just myself, guitarist and drummer from main band. Last week Wednesday and Thursday. 10AM to 8PM. 2 bands, alternating 1 hour sets / 1 hour breaks.
(I told our drummer to remove half the speakers when I got there, but he's a bit of a show off!)
This is a place called the Stonehouse Saloon, halfway between Sturgis, SD and Hulett, WY. It is a biker destination and a full family run operation. Food is spectacular- smoked hamburgers, hand-made patties from their own ranch cattle. Other band is playing in this pic, but as you can imagine, with a 10n hour gig, not too many friends and family around to take pics of us on stage!
Parking guidance and general monitoring of the venue is done the old fashioned way - on horseback! Visitors love to see actual cowboys on horses. This is one taking a break just outside the T-shirt shack in the morning.
One of the several gigs we did last week, all related to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Posted the Loud American Jack Daniels stage pics in the long running, 3 part "check in here after your gig" thread. As mentioned there, this was part of a 7 day straight run - almost 30 sets in that week, so my fingertips are hard as knuckles.
