Here at U277 headquarters we’ve received a few emails from folks over the last month or so wondering where the heck we are! Well some of you know, but for those who don’t I’m happy to let you in on the fact that U277 has been (collectively) on paternity leave for the last few months. Please join me in welcoming our two newest fans:
Isaac Scott Bendickson – born to Aaron & Sarah on April 2nd
Sophia Anne Moffitt – born to Mike & Katie on May 30th
Nevertheless, in the midst of expanding families, we have still been able to squeeze in some rehearsals, learn a few new tunes, and we have a show coming up this week! Come join us for a free outdoor concert in Bellevue on Thursday at noon when we appear as part of Downtown Bellevue’s Summer Concert Series “Live at Lunch.”
This is a special post for all of our special Seattle music loving/playing friends. Our good friend, Jes Raymond, has asked Sean to be part of the “Roots & Shoots” songwriter’s showcase tomorrow night (Wednesday) at the Jewel Box Theater, inside the Rendezvous lounge. This show will feature some amazing songwriters in one of the classiest, most amazing and intimate venues in all of Seattle. There will be a professional videographer documenting the whole night. Seats are limited and we wanted to make sure y’all had an opportunity to get one if you so desired.
So, I’m checking my email the other day, minding my own business and what should appear in my inbox, but a newsletter from Line 6. I usually just skim over their marketing, see if there’s anything worth checking out and then send ‘em to the old bit bucket, but this one I noticed was mentioning something about the Bogner Alchemist. Hm… that’s interesting, my good buddy and bluesman extraordinaire Robin Moxey just started playing a Bogner so I go ahead and click the link and sure enough… there’s Robin on the Bogner website trading licks with a few other guys showing off the amp.
Who said there’s never anything useful in junk mail?
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:
