Overly Enthusiastic Crowd

Posted by Donnie | Filed under News

We had a great night at The Zoo’s Unplugged Series last night. The food was amazing, the wine was freely flowing (more on that later), and good friends and family were abundant.

We started the night off with Danni Bruns from 98.1 The Max giving us our intro and then played our first set to a packed house. During our first break a gentleman came up and said he had a video production group and would like to produce our demo video. NICE!
The crowd was great, very interactive, and they danced a good bit for a laid back event. There was one exception to the night though… and it’s a great story so I have to tell it. We had a “fan” come up after the show and talk to most of us. Then she told Donnie, “You know you changed the lyrics to my favorite song, Boys of Summer by Don Henley. Why did you do that?”. His reply,”Well, we do a version by a different Artist, the Ataris”. She said, “Well, why did you do that?”. He said, “Because I wanted to”. And she slapped him across the face. Can you believe it? Out of all the Redneck, Biker joint, Beer dives we’ve played over the years (and we love those mind you) and the Singer gets accosted at a nice Wine and Dinner event at the Zoo. Man I wish we had that one video. Such is life, and it goes on. Just one more story to add to the scrap book. Hope you guys have a great weekend and we’ll see you out soon.
