Musically, it’s a busy month.
The Science Rockets have been renamed the Tie Hacks, feeling that a more Wyoming appropriate name was needed and given a new drummer, bassist, and the addition of another singer/songwriter in Michelle Humber.
Tie Hacks were loggers in the forest around here who cut trees and then shaped them into railroad ties before they were shipped down the green river to help build the Union Pacific Railroad.
This past Saturday we played at the Grand Targhee Battle of the Bands. We were the headliner and though we did not win the competition, we sure did have a great deal of fun and got some great exposure. The venue for the gig was “the Spud” drive in theater between Victor and Driggs Idaho. Awesome little venue and a great crowd of about 400 folks dancing and having a great time to all the good music. We followed the gig with a trip into Victor to see Aaron Davis (a fellow Kentucky native) play music at the Timberline.
Now I have music booked for every weekend the rest of the month. This should be a fun time as this includes some campfire style duos with John, a wedding date for good folks, and a gig in the park for the Fine Arts Council. Should be fun, but i’m hoping to not be so busy musically in July. We’ll see.
