Our Tahoe Adventure! (me and Matt Treder, starring Lake Tahoe)
What a fabulous time I have had traveling through California and Nevada this week! I have seen some of the most stunning vistas, played for the most wonderful audiences who came out in droves to listen to the music, and experienced such wonderful hospitality from the awesome venues we have played at! I can't wait to come back to the Tahoe area and the Carson Valley!
At Tahoe Winery, playing to a sold-out over-capacity crowd!
Thanks so much to all who came out to see us... we had a blast tonight playing our final show in the area at Tahoe Ridge Winery in Minden, NV. I had no idea our show would not only sell out, but that the room would be so full of such enthusiastic music fans! What a great way to end the tour. :)
The Genoa Bar, oldest saloon in Nevada
If these walls could talk... inside the Genoa Bar
The show last night at Walley's Hot Spring Resort in Genoa, Nevada was definitely a memorable one! We sure didn't know what we were in for... and we were in for a party! The little town packs a big punch when it comes to personality and celebration of live music. The audience really raised the roof, and totally made our night. It was such a pleasure to play the oldest town in all of Nevada... old, but definitely still kicking!!
Hanging out with music fans at Wally's Hot Spring resort...
Plan B Lounge in Carson City is such a neat little club--a totally chill gem of a venue in the heart of Nevada's capital. I was so impressed by the receptiveness of the audience when it came to us playing so much original music at our show! It was really wonderful to be able to pull out some old favorites from my original music files and share them with such a cool group of people.
Outside Moody's in Truckee, CA
Sharing the stage with Quartet Minus One at Moody's in Truckee, CA was a blast, too! The band is great, and we were so glad to play with them at such a happening place in the middle of one of the highest-elevation communities in the U.S.! And such a magical town, too... lots of history, lots of beautiful snow adorning the landscape and the buildings... it was like a postcard photo! We can't wait to go back and enjoy the beauty again, and to stop in at Moody's again when we do! :D
Special thanks to the Nevada Appeal and The Scene for featuring a GREAT article about me and about the mini-tour! http://www.nevadaappeal.com/ They even featured us as the cover story and put a huge photo on the FRONT COVER of The Scene! Woohoo! It was thrilling to see. :)
I will post photos soon to accompany the blog! Check back later!
