Short Change Band - Beginning of March, 2011

Hello to you all. By now most of you should be shoveled out from our two feet of snowfall from the weekend. Too bad, for just a moment I did get to see the lawn for the first time this year. Oh well, we still have another month at least for potential snow events. (Uggh- come-on spring!)

Saturday evening we got to experience a new venue for the Short Change Band. Lumpy's Roadhouse in West Oneonta. Lumpy's Roadhouse was formally called the “Country Rock CafĂ©” on Rt. 23. Now, four years later, Ty and his staff and friends have done some extensive indoor changes and has added a menu of some really good food items as well.
The evening show went well. We played a ton of tunes from different formats - some classic rock, Blues, oldies and even some outlaw county - oh and not to mention tunes from the Short Change Band music catalog.

The crowd danced and seemed to enjoy what we brought to the stage and that's always a good thing. We have decided to change our musical heading just a bit to that of a "Honky Tonk /Outlaw Country Rock Band - oh and not to mention our own originals...
We are a hell raisin’ party band (not a country dance band like many people still have the impression) For us there is really very few styles of music that we do not attempt to play, but as a three piece band, we know where our limitations lie.

We find covering the last fifty years of musical history a great place to call home. We tend to mix it up just fine. All we need is the atmosphere for us to "create in " and we're off to the races for sure.

Sunday came and even as the weather took a turn as we all headed to the Binghamton Senators Hockey game. We got to watch a great game as the Senators sent the Admirals home packin' by the final score of 4- to 1! I also made a new friend at the game by the name of Max. (He’s the Binghamton Senator’s mascot) Yeah we ripped it up pretty good we did, banging the plexiglass together like a couple of kids while the crowd watched. You had to be there to truly take it all in.

We also would like to sincerely thank Lucinda for getting us some great seats for the game. We truly enjoyed it. We also got to see our name on the overhead sign for “group night” - 'Thanks To the Short Change Band" .. yeah!

On to the shows for this week;
FRIDAY EVENING- 8:30 PM- BACK TO THE HITCHIN' POST AT BELDEN HILL
SATURDAY EVENING WE ARE UP TO THE HILLCREST LEGION FOR THE ANNUAL ABATE M.C. CABIN FEVER PARTY... {COVER CHARGE AT DOOR}*

So as we close out another week’s blog, we hope you can come out and see us this weekend. You know where we are but we don't know where you are - Unless you come out...

Be well , be good, peace and love -see you soon,
