Short Change Band

Greetings everyone.  I hope all is well throughout the valley as we wind down the first month of the new-year already. Wow! Bring on February!

We played a fantastic show for some friends of ours down at Gordy's Place.  The chicken wings were as good as ever and the place was packed.  There was standing room only by the third set.  It was nice to see so many people out on a Friday night even with the bad weather. Thank you all for your support.

We had our first band corporation meeting last Saturday as we continue our quest to become a business with the Short Change Band.  (more details as we go forward)

Sunday was the first Jamboree Committee meeting for 2013. It was a very productive meeting with many of the committee members coming up with great ideas and thoughts for our 5th annual Jamboree on April 27^th, 2013.  We have four top named bands and a couple of acoustic acts all ready and willing to help out with this year’s "Share the Music and Feed the People" show.

We have a new location for the event this year at the Coventry Fire Hall and the start time is a bit later this year as well, beginning at 2:00 pm.  We hope with all that we have planned in activities and music that we should roll into the early evening once again.

We are even considering an open mic forum at the very end for some of the local talents if time allows.

Please look for further details as we move into the month of February. We're thinking the 5th annual will be our biggest and best Jamboree ever.  Again, block out that date on your calendar right now - April 27^th, so you don't forget as we need your support.

On to this week in music: Friday evening at 8pm we will be playing at the VFW on Carroll Street in downtown Binghamton, NY.  So, stop down and say “hi” - but don't wait too long as it is only a three hour show.

Have great week and be safe and be good.

Peace,

Mikee^dee
