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.”

http://www.bellevuedowntown.org/events/liveatlunch/

We play from 12 noon until 1:30 pm at the Bellevue Galleria.
It’s outdoors, it’s family friendly and it’s free.

Hope you can make it.

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?

He makes it look so easy…

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.
