still no talk of hiatuses...

Last night's gig with Evolution at River Grille was interesting but good. Small room as to be expected but the band sounded good overall. 

At least we weren't crammed in a corner this time!

Two things happened that were unexpected. First, we saw a cute couple dancing and singing during the first set, so I walked up to them in between breaks. The guy said "Hi I'm Andrew" and he said the girl's name but I forgot it (sorry!) He told me that "you fuckin' shred" and "you helped break the ice because this is our first date."

I'm a matchmaker now?!

Second set was off the charts! A group of people stormed in, about 15 or so, wearing dresses and suits?! So I asked "What happened? High school reunion?" and someone said "No, we just left a wedding and heard a band playing so we had to come in." They added SO much energy to the night, it was wild! I learned "Sugar" by Fall Out Boy ON THE SPOT because someone requested it. The band knew it but not me, so I had the bassist Louie yell the chord changes as we were going along. Whatever gets the job done! All in all it was a successful evening.

Chatham is a funky little town though!

I have two gigs with Supernova coming up but...yep...got two more fill-in gigs with Evolution again and Rubber Duckie Riot as well. Evolution asked me to sub for a gig on Saturday September 26th at a VFW hall in Pompton Lakes. Sure, why not! And RDR asked me to sub for a gig at a car show on Wednesday September 23, place called Blue Arrow Farms in Warwick, NY. So I will have THREE shows in one week soon.

Nobody talk to me so I can nap for a week!!

I joke but this will be intense for sure. And as of tonight, Supernova has SEVEN confirmed dates already for 2027. I can't say anything yet but when I'm given the green light, watch out!!

At least I got to relax today.
