Hey all:
Owen here, from Ranchero Records and Red Meat. We're back from our
Midwest/Southeast jaunt, and we had a great time. It was nice to meet some
people from the list; thanks for coming and checking Red Meat out.
And thanks especially to Kelly Kessler, who had us play her "Honky Tonk
Living Room" at the Hideout in Chicago. Any of you bandmembers out there:
If you're gonna pass through Chicago, be sure to play this show! Kelly's
done a great job setting the whole thing up, the Hideout is a terrific venue,
and the management are true gems. It's dealing with people, venues and shows
like this that really make this business a pleasure! We had a blast, and I
hope you Chicagoans who came did too!
And thanks to Kip for having the Rockhouse Ramblers play with us in St.
Louis. Cool band, man!
And that Atlanta show...fun fun fun! We played with the Ex-Husbands, who I
never had heard before. And they absolutely rocked -- a fantastic band! If
you live in the Southeast and haven't seen 'em, by all means go! Now! Now
if we could just get them to come out west...
OK. Nice to be back. We had fun, and we look forward to the Buck Owens/Red
Meat show at Bimbo's on May 19. If ya haven't bought tickets yet, do it
before it sells out! See ya there...
