Salida: A last minute show to remember!
Today we are traveling from Preblo, CO to Telluride, CO. We got a late start and didn’t get out of town until about 2 PM. We have a night off so we decided to stop in Salida to see a friend of ours Ty. We met Ty through couchsurfing a couple years ago and have been tight ever since. We also decided since we had the night off we should see if we could find a place to play. We hit up a couple of bars and they were all very receptive to live music but were booked. There was also a place with a patio that we could play on. But playing a show in 20 degree temperatures didn’t sound too appealing… The last place we popped in was the Tenderfoot. Ryan did the talking and the Bartender Mary was more than happy to let us play. We decided to go have dinner and make a decision about whether we were going to play a show or drive across an icy mountain pass after dark. Looking back now, it seems like the obvious decision was to play the show… The show was awesome. We had the bar packed all night. People were dancing and having a great time just like we were! It was another one of those times where we are on tour and randomly things come together for an awesome night of music. We will definitely be back in Salida. A big thanks to the Mary’s at Tenderfoot for having us play. It was such a blast!
Hi Gentlemen, I just talked to my sister and she told me about catching you at the Tenderfoot Tavern. Wow, the world feels alot smaller when things like this happen. She and her friend found the bar on line because it had the lowest happy hour prices. They live in San Francisco and were on a roadtrip to check up on a property she manages. Like myself, she also thought you guys are excellent. Keep up the great shows. Take care, Bruce
Your decision to play the Tenderfoot worked perfectly with our decision to stop in for happy hour…and stay all night because you guys rocked the house!! We meant to buy a CD, hope we bought you some drinks and would love to see you in CA!!
HINT: Lagunitas Brewing Company… great live music and awesome beer, you are meant to be there!

Hey Bruce! It was totally a small world moment when we ran into Lynnette in Salida! That was such a fun night man. Totally random too… With us just strolling in to get a last minute gig. Too bad she didn’t have her trumpet! We could have had a little jammy jam! Great to hear from you. If you around during SXSW we have a ton of shows. Hope to see you around. Take care.
