Ahh... the Spring weather continues and I welcome it with open arms!
This was our second time playing at The Keller Tavern. It's a nice place to stop by for a beer. If you're ever in that part of Keller (old Main Street), pop in and you'll probably have a nice visit. Neat little area of town and the smell of food in the air is wonderful.
The last time we played there, it was still Winter and we had to play inside. It stormed and hailed. Playing inside was the right thing to do. But, it is entirely too small for us in there, very much what you think of as a pub or tavern, so we were glad to know we'd be playing outside on their patio the next time. Their patio is good sized, open and just feels fun.
Tonight's show was "interesting." We had a decent crowd throughout the night, patio remained full at all times. But, after playing an all original show at The Venue last show, we honestly had a hard time getting into it at the beginning. As we were loading in, I noticed that none of the flyers we dropped off were up. Par for the course. Places like this are fun, but they really don't care who the band playing is. They just want some unoffensive background music while they sell drinks.
Now, don't get me wrong, the show went fine. By the end of the night, the crowd was drunk, dancing and having a good ol' time. Just a completely different experience from last weekend. We have one more show on the books at this place and we're going to play with the set list a bit and see if we can't get them pumped up a bit earlier in the evening. Just a little difficult on a 4 hour show (which is why we no longer accept 4 hour bookings LOL). Watch the main Sand Dollar Rodeo website schedule at www.SandDollarRodeo.com for the next date - it's at the end of May, I believe. Could be wrong, check the website!
My personal highlight of the evening... being tortured in numerous rounds of SongPop after the show and into the wee hours of the morning by J. It's ok J. You and your hair band / rock ballads are going down. I'm saving all my classic country favorites just for you!
Stay gold kids...
