Magical Mini Tour in Southern California

We’re pumped to be heading back down to the greater Los Angeles area for a magical mini tour in mid-January. Playing a Friday show at Rusty’s Surf Ranch on the awesome Santa Monica Pier then helping the World-Famous Whisky A Go Go celebrate their big 50th Anniversary on Sunday.

Dude, we’re playing Rusty’s at the Pier!

We’re thrilled to have been invited to play at the Santa Monica Pier. We get to rock the socks off of the center of the surf scene, dude! Rusty’s has made us feel very welcome and we’re proud to be part of their Friday night lineup.

Whisky A Go Go 50th Anniversary

Anyone who hangs out with me knows how important rock and roll history is to me. I find it compelling on so many levels. The different sounds, the scene, the political statements and poetry that have changed lives and influenced generations make it alive in my heart. I hope you’ll put on your dancin’ shoes as we rock into the musical history that IS the Whisky A Go Go.

We’re humbled to be standing on the same stage where The Doors, Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and so many other great musicians have rocked before. We’re in awe of the incredible acts and historic significance that places The Whisky high in rock and roll prominence. We’re honored to be a part of their 50th anniversary celebration of music and the venue that has been home and catalyst for musicians worldwide. It has changed so many lives including our own.

We’ll be opening for Martha Davis and the Motels – So come party with Jeffrey Walsh, Ralph Humphrey, Peter Bates and me on our “Magical Mini Tour”. Together we’ll conjure up the spirit of Jim Morrison with a little “Life Affirming Rock N’ Roll” and add the Mendocino sound into the rock music history books.

A Rockin’ Good Time Was Had By All

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate at the Patterson’s Pub 20th Anniversary Party. What a terrific Mendocino welcome after our exhausting trip the day after our late night Whisky A Go Go gig in Hollywood. After doing so many solo acoustic shows at Patterson’s, it was so much fun to be playing electric with the full band to a packed house. We were all jammed in so tight, it felt like audience members were backup singers for the band. We appreciate everyone brave enough to dance in such tight quarters. Is there a dance called “The Sardine”?

The bar even lost a bottle or two as the bass and drum beat throbbed them right off the shelves! The already busy bar tenders had to push back the bottles to save them from the rising swell of sound waves.

I have to give a few shout outs to some friends who really made the last few days over-the-top fantastic. Thanks to our good buddy, Monsieur Bottrell for singing lead vocals on “Miss You”. We love it when you play with us, Bill! Old friend, Angelo, for supporting the band and showing us a great time in Hollywood. Hugh, for getting us back to Mendocino in one piece and being our champion of rock music. Big thanks to Jeannie for squeezing us in through throngs of partiers. And of course, Tony and Mary Anne for letting the band play our asses off at Patterson’s Pub.

I will take a few days to recover, but damn, let’s do it again!

P.S. Hope to see everyone next Sunday at V’Canto where we’ll be playing unplugged.
