The Mutineers have two shows on California's central coast to celebrate the New Year. Dec 30 at Frog and Peach Pub in downtown San Luis Obispo with the mighty Hot Tina. And it's another Brew Year's Eve at The Brewhouse in Santa Barbara with the inimitable Big Jugs. Get ready for another amazing party as these guys rock for the 6th year in a row. Santa Barbara's best kept NYE secret. Merry and I will be performing as a duo on this run down the coast from our new digs in Portland.Portland has been a welcoming city. Folks here are very kind and the music scene is lively and supportive. The talent in this town is outstanding. The only question is whether I have the stamina (or $$) to go out, because there's great live music going on nearly every single night. Cheers to the crowd that joined us last Wednesday evening at The Old Gilbert Road Tavern. It was our first "plugged-in" show since we arrived and it was a blast. If you missed that one, Portland, we will be adding lots of local shows after the new year, so we can all get acquainted.
A hearty cheers goes out to Morgan Geer of Drunken Prayer for the many outstanding sets he played during his week long whirlwind Portland tour. He's a class act and it was a real treat to share a stage once again. Looking forward to the next time amigo.
