We've all had those type of gigs. Usually the common theme is, live music was merely a poorly planned after thought. Blue

I love crowd photos. .Blue

Cool, Dave, I had good monitor sound yesterday too. Daryl

I don't like that he showed up in a cool ride and then wants to re-tune your shells. 😒 Blue

We're playing an acoustic gig back at The Harley Motor Restaurant this Saturday, 9/2 5:00-8:00. Between Maple Road and our acoustic offering it's been a busy and fun Summer Blue

I don't like those things. There was a decibel meter at The Baaree. We're really not a loud band. The meter seems disrespectful to the band to me. Blue

Nice video, looks like a great show. Blue

Excellent! Blue

Cool crowd pics. " Get Up And Party " Blue

All I can say is we pulled it off. Respectful size crowd. Middle to Upper Middle Class folks. Surprisingly not very big tippers. Mostly singles. In Thiensville most folks are dropping 20s. We kept the stage volume low which was nice. 2 issues, number one it was cold and windy and number 2, I had a young lady accompany me and it was a little distracting. I'm usually solo at gigs. Couldn't get many pics this time. I wore a bright blue polo /golf shirt. Blue

Dave, What a coincidence. I put up room darkening panels today. I don't think they're the answer. I should have gotten black out panels Daryl

This Saturday Maple Road This Saturday 8/26 Zeigler Winery "Outdoor rockin' blues on Lake Winnebago @ Ziegler! We're thrilled to be playing this beautiful venue for the first time! Come enjoy some fantastic wine, (they have a great beer selection, too!) an awesome menu and a whole bunch of live music! Don't miss it! And we'll have Tim Sardina on drums." I'm looking forward to this gig. I've done acoustic stuff there before. This is the first time we're bringing the full Maple Road band. The grounds are beautiful. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Blue

Dave, We haven't completely escaped late night gigs. It seems that way because we're in fair & festival season, where most gigs are outside with early hours. The winter months are another story. Daryl

Nice crowd pic and they're had to get Blue

Exactly, I was home before 9:00 Saturday night. A buddy of mine had a late night wedding gig, 9-1. He didn't get home until 2:30. Daryl

Looks like it was a cool gig

Any opportunities in your area to partner up with anyone to do duo or trio acoustic gigs in the winter? Blue

WOW! BLUE

I am, however Thursday night I ran 2 10"s. Blue

We're lucky. Jenny is awesome with banter and connecting with the crowd. People love her. Blue

Nice Pic! Blue

Today Maple Road Jam Fest @ Rivermoor Waterford WI 3:00

I love playing my bass especially when I'm having a good night. However for me, there's nothing like playing and looking out at a sea of people dancing and having a great time. That's when I feel like I'm contributing to society. Blue

Thanks Dave, We have a festival in Waterford on Saturday. It's a road trip for us and we rented a big van so we can travel together. It hasn't been easy, however it's been a fun summer Daryl
