Short Change Band - Mid-February, 2011

Well hello. We had another amazing weekend that passed and the shows we had Friday and Saturday were absolutely awesome.

Friday night we were up to the Hitchin’ Post and it was as close to a stellar 10' performance that we’ve had in a long time. We played hard and the quality was good, and it showed.

We rolled the dice once again over the state line down in P.A. at the Hallstead American Legion the next night as well. The people down there had us mixed up with another band with a similar name that evidently had a less than successful evening there back when they were playing. So with that being said our first set was a bit of being 'put under the microscope' - so to speak, but by the second set we settled in and had them just lovin’ us.

By the end of the night we had numerous people come up and compliment the band for the evening performance and that always makes us feel good. We work hard at putting together a good show every time we play mixing it up and adding new material constantly.

There are not to many bands that can span over 50 years of Rock and Roll and Country and Blues like we do and rather than try and change to meet the troops, we still go with the formula that makes the Short Change Band just that - A Southern Rock Honky Tonk band. It's all we know and I feel we are really developing into something of our own character.

Speaking of which we are celebrating a bit of a milestone here in the new year. Double D has reached his 5 year pin with the band and I gotta tell ya - There are very few other Bass players I'd rather play with. His formula and structure with the Bass has taken on some new elements and when DD is firing on all 8 - he's unstoppable.

Myself, it was long about this time I joined the band as well - gosh back in the mid 80's. So there is nobody more dedicated to what we do than myself. I'm sure that K.W. and myself have now logged over 1000 shows played together! (Incredible Accomplishment)

And K.W. keeps improving his song writing abilities and when he's cooking on that Les Paul guitar - he's unstoppable as well.

So if you haven't seen us lately, please come out and take in a show as I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we do delivering it to you.

We have no shows this weekend as we air out the hope chest for a weekend.

We’ll see you soon, be well be good and Happy Valentine’s day to all.
Peace,
