Greetings America, well here we are
now, in December, 2013. As I look back at the calender, I have to say to
myself "where the hell did 2013 go?" Incredible, but what a year it was. With almost 70 shows under our belts this year we can't say that we were not busy.
No not the years of 80 or 90 shows but hell, all of that does is make life go by even faster. So, with that being said - 2014 will be a year of transition for the Short Change Band. Our 2014 theme is "play a little less make a little more and stop an enjoy the time we spend together" as quality time is priceless time. It's been a long time coming. Anyway 2014 will be that year.
Back up to 2013 for just a moment it was also the year of Change for the Short Change Band. We started January right off with adding and additional member to the band - 'Travis on keys". That transition took us five years to complete as we swore 3-piece is where we needed to be forever and ever.
2013 was the year we also expanded our song selection range as well as adding a keyboard player that gave us that opportunity to do so. Thanks Travis.
2013 was also the year of giving back as we played seven local benefits for people and families in need, two of them for our local Food Bank alone. So as we look around the community at the all the clubs and the bands that play in these clubs every week - ask yourself this question "how many of these bands gave back to the communities that supported them?" I think you will find very few did and the ones that do - get our support whenever they have a need as well. We are there for them. you can call it a band network.
So in closing, thanks to all of you that support the band every week as we go out to play, month after month - year after year- we love you all!
We are also taking some time off through the winter months next year with a very limited schedule on tap. We are hoping to really tap into Travis' piano skills and bring on some totally new material in 2014. Oh and did I mention we now have enough material for another new album. So many concepts with so little time to complete.
So in closing, 2014 could be our most
exciting band year to date. Keep abreast of us so we can keep you all informed.
And finally this week- we have 2 shows:
Birtchy's Joint on Friday evening 8pm - 12:00pm on Conklin Road and
Annies Bar & Grill in Windsor on Saturday evening- 9pm - 1am
Come out and help
celebrate the holiday season with us one more time. If we don't cross paths
here before years end, remember this - "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to
you all and have a safe holiday season.
Peace and Love,
The
Short Change Band:
