CATCH THE FEVER!
Started playing at 6:00 PM. We had a good fun crowd tonight. Everyone had a great time including us. It helps when the crowd is in a partying mood.
Played for about 50 people. Everyone partied.
Tore down at 10:00 PM. Slow tear down tonight. Worn out tired
Went to the Hotchkiss Elks Lodge. Played for the Annual Delta County Cattlemans Association Banquet.
260 people were expected this year and about 240 of them attended. One of our biggest crowds in awhile.
Played a half hour about 6:00 PM and after speeches, Auctions and award presentations, we played out the night.
Everyone seemed to have a good time. I know we did.
Tore down about 11:50 PM and was headed home about 12:40 AM.
Setup and played Sam's Tavern in Montrose. Show started at 6:00 PM.
Only about 8 people at the start of the show, but about half way through the night it started picking up. Got really busy about the time we quit. Pretty typical for that place though.
The hip hop crowd started showing up, so as soon as we got packed up, they setup the DJ stuff and cranked the music beyond deafening proportions. Ran us out of there.
We got out of there a little after 11:00 PM.
Cabin Fever Band is headed up on the Uncompahgre Plateau. We are playing the Graham Cow Camp BBQ this year. This is the last year Tam Graham will be putting on this event, so we feel privileged to be a part of it.
We set up in front of the fire pit and played three sets. I'd guess probably around 50 people. Everyone seem to have a real good time, including us. I must say though we are worn out.
Setup about 2:00 PM. At about 5:00 we played three or 4 songs and then let the dj take over to play the dance songs. After about an hour we played another 4 songs or so and gave it back to the Dj for money dances. An hour or so later we started playing again. Folks started leaving by then. All and all we probably play 2 sets. We were finished about 10:00 and I was home a little after 11:00.
Setup at the Mesa Lakes Lodge on the north side of the Grand Mesa.
They had a little stage to setup on, which was just enough room to put the drums and amps on. We had to stand on the hard concrete floor. Very hard on the feet. And mine were worn out by the end.
We played for 3 sets stretched out 4 hours. Everyone seemed to have a blast. They loved us and we had an awesome time. After tearing down, Chad and Evan camped out at the lake, while Andy and I went on home. I left before Andy, so I don't know when he got home, but I got home a little after 11:00 PM.
Played the Throttle and Spur Saloon. Had a good crowd. 45 to 50 people came out. I was surprised there was that big of a crowd. The Olathe Sweet Corn Festival was this weekend and Rodney Atkins was the headliner act this year.
We had a great time! Started out a little bit loud, but we quickly got that remedied.
Played in Montrose last night at the R&R Sports Bar. It was the first time we have ever been there.
Started playing at 8:00 PM. We haven't played live in about 2 1/2 months, so I was a little nervous... Not. Lol.
We had a good time. Everyone seemed to be focused. Everything seemed to click pretty good and the crowd seemed to have fun. It was a good time.
Packing up took a little longer. We had to put all our cases and stuff in the trailer, so when we got done, we had to bring it all back in to pack up. That kind of sucked, but I don't think we had to do that though.
We got out of there a little after midnight.
Played Tucker's last night. Had a good crowd. Not a lot of dancers, but they seemed to have a good time as did we.
About 30 folks turned out.
Setup and played back at the Throttle and Spur Saloon. We had about 18 folks in attendance when we did our sound check, but that escalated to about 30 as the night progressed.
Finished up worn out, as usual at 1:00 AM, packed up and headed for the house.
Setup about 7:00 PM and was ready to play in an hour.
Played for about 40 people. It was supposed to be a valentines party, but didn't seem like it.
Only a handful of people seemed to be interested in what we were doing. No one seemed to leave though. Seemed more interested in the shit crap on the jukebox.
No matter, we still had a good time and I think the majority of the folks did too.
While waiting for Billy to give our money, a fight broke out that he had to take care of, which only prolonged our trip home. When things finally settled down we finally got out of there about 1:45 AM.
Played the Throttle and Spur Saloon. A crowd of about 40 people came out. The band seemed to be healthier this time. We had a good crowd and a great time.
Off to Sam's Tavern on February 11th for another nighttime with gig there.
