Blue Sky Riders

10.1.12 We thought we were in for trouble. The promoter promoted this show basically as a Kenny Loggins concert. Oops. Our management made double sure at every show that people knew that they were coming to hear a new band… not Footloose. The venues were warned they could not expect to get Kenny at BSR prices. When we pulled into town and saw Kenny’s face on the posters today we were afraid we would have an angry mob in front of us.

Kenny handled it perfectly. We came out on stage and did “Feelin’ Brave,” and the audience totally dug it and went wild. Then someone yelled “Danger Zone!” and we all froze. (more…)

9.29.12 Last show at Feinstein’s and it was a blast! Both the early and the late show was awesome. It feels very weird to have it draw to a close after we looked forward and worried about it for so long.

It went better than we had any right to expect. The people who run the room said it was the best show they’d ever had there, (more…)

9.28.12 I have never had to play two shows in a night. I used to be in bands that played multiple sets but this was the same show twice. Only thinking up new jokes kept them from being carbon copies of each other. We had nice crowds for each show and we rocked them equally.

We keep waiting for some big political figure to come to one of our shows. They are all staying here. (more…)

9.27.12 Great audience tonight! Lots of friends in the crowd but it was more than that. Everything worked tonight… jokes, intros, just everything. My friend and comedy mentor, Mark Hudson, was sitting by the stage, so I threw in a spit take or two. Once again we had to cut the show short and be off by 9:30. We cut down the acoustic section, which is a shame because the part really goes over well. We are getting good at timing our show so both short nights we aimed for ending at 9:30 and we left the stage at 9:34. We are good, baby!
