As you may or may not know we had a show originally booked in Omaha that fell through, but thankfully our good friend Blake from The Phoenix Room invited us to play at his place in Norfolk. We were a little nervous about what kind of turnout we would get without being able to do much promotion, but we had a great group of die-hards show up and make the night a lot of fun!

Once again we played several of our new original songs – “The Color Blue,” “New Fix,” “On Your Own,” “Second Start,” and “20 More Ways.” We hit the studio in just under 2 weeks, so you can expect to hear these songs more and more at upcoming shows and throughout the summer shows as well!

Now on to the photos from The Phoenix Room…

We’ve been riding the scheduling roller coaster with some recent schedule changes. As you may know we had to cancel our previously scheduled show for this Saturday at Kennedy’s Bar & Grille in Omaha. We’ll be back in Omaha in May and have some other things lined up for the summer and into the fall at the Arena Sports Bar & Grill and Two Fine Irishmen. And we’re working on getting things lined up for future dates at Kennedy’s as well.

Much thanks to Blake at the Phoenix Room for making Saturday’s show happen!

We’re going to continue to play that new song and start adding a few others to our setlist at upcoming shows. Please let us know what you think of the new songs, we love to hear your feedback!

Thanks to everyone that made it to the Phoenix Room this weekend! It was good to see you all and we hope you had as much fun as we did! We have this weekend off but next weekend we’ll be in O’Neill, NE for their big St. Patrick’s celebration. Hopefully we’ll see some of you there!

On the night before Thanksgiving we had plenty to be thankful for, but at the top of the list was the great crowd that came out to the Phoenix Room to rock with us. And like we usually do, we had a good time kickin out the jams and sharing some drinks and laughs with everyone. We also want to recognize the staff working the bar that night for making sure no one went thirsty!

It was also a productive weekend for the band as we worked on some new original tunes. We’ve been putting a lot of effort as of late working on writing new songs for an upcoming CD. We don’t have anything set in stone as to when we’ll get that done, but we are looking at having a new CD released sometime in 2010.

With that said, we need to thank everyone that came out to the shows this past weekend as well as the staff at The Depot for making it a great weekend. We’ll be back in Norfolk soon – Nov. 21st at the Mint Bar for a Conrad & Nellor acoustic show and Nov. 25th at the Phoenix Room for a show on the night before Thanksgiving. See ya there!

In addition to all of that, we had our friend Chris and his band the Total Package play a few tunes during our set break on Friday. And of course it was great to see so many of our Norfolk friends make it out and party as well!

We’ll be back in Norfolk in a couple of weeks for a night at the Depot on 9-18 and an afternoon slot at the Off Road Ranch on 9-19. Until then, here’s some pictures from this past weekend.

This past weekend we played our first show at the new Phoenix Room in Norfolk, NE. It’s a familiar place with a different name as we used to play this bar many years ago when it was known as the L Bar K. Our friend Blake has done a nice job with the place and we look forward to coming back real soon. Thank you to our Norfolk friends who partied with us, here’s some photos.
