CABIN FEVER BAND!: "Flour Power?"

Thursday, June 21, 2012

"Flour Power?"

Got a call today from Evan. The place in Ridgeway called "Flour Power" (Looking to change things soon) had a last minute band cancellation and booked us in their place for tomorrow night.
I believe Evan said it is a bakery/coffee shop at the moment, but they have bands regularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Not sure what to expect.
Come on out to Ridgeway and check us and the new place out! The band starts at 9:00 PM!
By the way, We'll be back there again on next Friday night also.

Kevin, I am the bar manager there the venue name is offically called Drunken Donut Tavern. 630 Sherman. We are downstairs from the bakery. You have to enter the bakery to get to the bar though. See y'all tonight.

Thanks for the heads up. We will definitely make the correction for the next time.

CABIN FEVER.. The Early Years

"Cabin Fever Band" started out in the mid 1980's. Evan heard that I played bass guitar and asked if I wanted to play.

The original band was a five piece. In the beginning we had a banjo in the group, but that didn't last long.

Musicians came and went over the years. Maybe you'll know some of them:

Clay Hemstrom, Jan Vandeveer, Jim Vigil, Scott Morford, Mike Jackson, Dean Abbott. (I'll add more as I remember them).

Chad Schmalz came into Lynette's Hydeout one night and set in with us. He was looking to play guitar in the group and we were looking for someone to play guitar. We hired him that night.

Shortly after, Chad's nephew, Dean Abbott joined the group on drums and we went four piece. Dean was a talented drummer, guitarist and songwriter. Some of the material Cabin Fever played was written by Chad, Dean and Kevin.

Cabin Fever band played in various venues: The Lazy JR (Burned to the ground), Lynettes Hyde-out, Olathe Sweet Corn Festival (consecutive years), Almont Resort, The Hitchin' Post, Bullfrog and Halls Crossing Marinas at Lake Powell.... The list goes on. Lot's of good times and memories.

After a few years Dean left the group to persue other interests. He got married and moved to New Mexico.

After a few frustrating drummer changes, Cabin Fever Band split about 1997.

Evan Hyde, Kevin Robinson, Chad Schmalz and Andy Fish are burning with the fever again. CATCH IT!
