So the high school job is coming to a close for yet another exciting summer season. I'm trading in my biology, anatomy and environmental studies for sunshine, climbing gear, a surfboard, my straw hat, home-grown veggies, pool-time, and enough time with Kelley and Moira to make up for an entire school season of what feels like absence.
Kelley's taking me to Bonnarroo for our anniversary!
We're spending a week at Fripp Island with Kel's Parents!
We're spending a week in Foscoe, NC with my parents!
The rest of the summer will hopefully remain unplanned.
So here's to you and yours as you work hard to hardly work over the next couple of months.
cheers,
jeff

Rainy Friday at Brixx
Reese Bolte on Bass, Kelley on vocals, and Jeff on guitar and vocals.
So Friday night at Brixx this past week was a BLAST! We had a rainstorm come through and force us to move inside before the first set was even over. That sent some people away and we totally understand, but some very devoted friends and family stayed for some fun times.
Come catch us this coming Saturday night at Stingers in Irmo!
cheers friends,

Shout out to the party people
So Saturday was a whirl wind for sure.
I got up around 8 and drove to Lugoff to help a good friend with some french drains at his house. He let me drive his tractor around as we brought in dirt or pushed dirt around. Guys and "earth moving" machines are always a winning combination.
After I got back from that, Kel and I had to pack up, get little Moira settled with my parents and then we took off to our first playing engagement.
We played a Kentucky Derby party in Woodlake subdivision. The people were super nice and very enthusiastic...definitely into the more folky tunes we play. Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, etc. were perfect for the event.
After that we went to a slightly more energetic crowd in the same neighborhood for a birthday party. They had us set up on a deck overlooking their patio. Instead "playing a party"....it was more like we crashed a party and turned it into a concert! The people were SO receptive to our music. After our 2 hours, they actually started shouting "encore"...that's a first for us since we mainly play restaurants and parties that never pay that much close attention to the music. It was a big bonus for the night for us.
So...moral of this episode...we REALLY like doing the party scene so far. Keep 'em coming guys!
cheers,
jeff
