Holiday Gigs

Well it’s that time of year again…. family get-togethers, last minute shopping, waaaay too much food and, what else…. a grip of gigs! If you’re looking for something to do besides watching “A Christmas Story” on TV for the 5th time this month (don’t get me wrong, the seeing it at least 3 times is a seasonal requisite) come on out to a show:

Garage Band

Well, what can I say?  It runs in the family…

Oh Blogger, Where Art Thou?

Hi there, remember me? That’s OK, I’d forget me too if I hadn’t made a blog entry in over two months. Hey Aaron, what’s the deal?

Here’s the recap…

A decent portion of the last several months was dedicated to the destruction and subsequent reconstruction of our detached garage. The old one was in sad, sad shape to be sure and with some help from our new neighbor/contractor a brand spanking new 400 sq ft garage now resides atop the forgotten remains of its predecessor. OK, so saying “with some help” is pretty much an exaggeration because Bobby did all the work and I just managed to somehow put together the cash to pay for it all. 

Here we are on the far side of summer, which seemed to rush by in a flurry of gigs and family gatherings. The family and I did manage to take 1 trip back to the ol’ homestead in MT but for the most part I was busy gigging or trying to do something constructive around the house. July and August were super busy months for U277, but things are settling down to a more manageable pace these days. One or two gigs a month is plenty for me (as opposed to, say, five). We’re starting to work on some more tunes and have the goal of performing the entire Joshua Tree album well in sight.

And speaking of gigs, we’re playing this weekend both Friday and Saturday night.  Gig details are on our website (www.U277.com).  If you’re not otherwise engaged, we’d love to see you there!

See you round the campfire.
