We just completed the busiest month in SHB history. 7 full band shows in 5 weeks. I also squeezed in 5 solo acoustic shows in there for good measure. For the first time in y life I actually felt like a musician who just happens to have a day job rather than the other way around.
We had some great experiences over this last month. A few highlights:
- The riverfront park in Point Pleasant is one of my new favorite places to play. What a beautiful setting!
- The Parkersburg Homecoming is the highlight of my music career so far. We played a headlining spot on Saturday night leading up to the fireworks for about 4,000 people. Full out light show. We had our own backstage trailer (!) How about all of those people singing "Country Roads" back at you to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up? I am still walking on air just thinking about it! Awesome.
- Friday nights @ JP Henry's are working out quite well. Thanks to Tom Hughes for having us.
- The Fairplain Yacht Club is going to be a regular stop on the Jager Tour. We had a blast and th band that opened for us, Brewin' Company, has a bright future. Great original material and a real cool laid back sound.
- Sundays @ Ricky D's have been a blast. Love playing acoustic shows. Look out for the full band next year for a special one-off event outside.
It's been a great month and thanks to everyone that comes out to support live music and the Steve Hussey Band. We are just touching the tip of the iceberg here folks. Come and ride with us on the Party Bus!
Peace-
Steve for SHB
