  1. A bitter sweet gig. Beautiful room, stage monitors were great, comped drink and meals , we sounded good and we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the turn out was disappointing. Daryl
  2. Pete, our band leader didn't want to rock the boat even though he sort of rocked it for us. His style of playing is a perfect match for what we do and his harmonies are really good. Did you see our video clip covering " No Diggity " by Blackstreet ? Daryl
  3. Our drummer basically had other plans/ engagements all of summer 2023. We had two deps we rotated. We we're lucky we didn't have to turn down any gigs. Everybody is different. I don't have a life so gigs rule in my world. Daryl
  4. I'm 70 years old. My 9-1 days are pretty much over. 4:00-7:00 is the new 9:00-1:00 for " boomers" Grandpa Daryl
  5. I'm not sure what the rule is for being a NYE gig literally. Blue
  6. Maple Road is confirmed for Early NYE gig @ The Precinct in Germantown, 4-7pm, right across the street from BarleyPop. I've played the place across the street " Barley Pop. And I've played an acoustic gig at The Precinct. But a NYE Maple Road show will be a first. Nice hours and a 25 minute commute. I'm hoping for a respectable turn out. Daryl
  7. NYE Hotel gig. Sounds nice to me. Civilised is always a plus. Lol Daryl
  8. Congrats, I hope it's a fun gig for all. Daryl
  9. Nice lighting, nice pics Pete. Daryl
  10. Share something about your upcoming NYE gig. First time playing the venue, you play there annually, what are the hours, the commute ect... Daryl
  11. Yes, very talented. Her husband does the booking and he's our dedicated sound & lighting engineer. Daryl
  12. Hi Dave, Yes, same lady. She's the founder and band leader for Maple Road & She's Right I'm Left . Daryl
  13. Cool, I like the threads. Daryl
  14. Weve been lucky. We don't deal much with volume issues. Most of our business is during fair and festival season. Daryl
  15. The acoustic show " She's Right I'm Left" will be back at The Harley Motor Restaurant this Saturday, 5:30-8:00. The Motor has always been good for us. Daryl
  16. Nice job Dave Daryl
  17. Fantastic! Daryl
  18. I get it. I'm new to working with smoke machines . I hope ours are water based like Dave mentioned. Daryl
  19. Nice job Moley. Sounds good. Daryl
  20. We recently made a huge investment / upgrades to our sound and lighting which includes smoke machines stage left and right. I'm totally into it. Daryl
  21. Cool, I've always been a big advocate for the two 10s configuration. Daryl
  22. Guys, when you read all these gigs stories like me you can see a trend and there's a bit of a consensus. Live full band bar/pub business seems to be in big trouble. For any of you in bands playing pubs it's going to be rough. Of course they'll be exceptions, but overall I don't think the future is bright Daryl
  23. This pic is from a summer 2023 gig. My 1993 G&L ASAT . Daryl
  24. Good move Bass Adder. No sense in going back to a bad venue. Daryl
