Productive Practice. Nice!!

Great practice yesterday. We have three new songs in the works:

Wagon Wheel,

Let Her Go,

I Drive Your Truck.

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!
