Dana_V Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Last Friday night was the first time back indoors since before COVID started, this time with my other band (The Rhythm Dawgs, est. 1998). Maybe people were just starved for entertainment, but it turned out to be a really good gig. Good audience response, dancers, and a healthy tip jar at the end of the night. Here I'm playing Shishkov Ultimate 0063 (note 0092 and my beloved '81 Special in the background) though my Mesa Mark V; the other guitar player plays a Schecter through a Line 6 Vetta II - I'm Mr. Analog, he's Mr. Digital. The bass player is playing a Lakland Skyline Custom PJ.
Brooks Posted June 3, 2022 Author Posted June 3, 2022 Played my last gig this weekend w/ the classic hard rock band I joined last year. The original singer died suddenly a few months ago, we had to scramble to get a 45 min set together w/ his best friend singing in time to play this multi band festival north of Raleigh NC. This festival is put on by this awesome guy who loves rock & metal, he built this killer stage on his property and brings in food trucks, rents portable toilets, just throws a kickass free party. Bittersweet good times. RIP Danny Hazelip.

LucSulla Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Thought these were some cool ones from the other night.
woodpile Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Love playing at the Breweries. This one is down the road from BSU which is another bonus. Last gig with some cooler weather.

Len Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Local Summer Concert series we do every year. Was a blast as usual. Broke out my '77 Ibanez Rocket Roll Sr.
stobro Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 So the only band member who should be wearing shorts on stage isn't? What's up with that?
Biz Prof Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 From this past weekend. An outdoor alley gig that the promoter moved indoors when a storm pattern moved in. Have to admit that playing on a theater stage is a lot of fun.
