It was a beautiful night and an excellent crowd, as always at the Porch Rocker. We had a blast playing and our hosts were so incredibly gracious. Our new songs felt especially appropriate given the holiday weekend and the lakefront setting; Water by Brad Paisley, Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts, and Independence Day by…

A special 4th of July gig for the West Salem American Legion potluck picnic. It was a hot one, but we still had a great afternoon sharing songs and laughs with the good folks in attendance. We did a few new songs for the occasion – Only in America by Brooks & Dunn, and American…
