Arts Beats and Eats
Free Beer got booked on the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort ROCK STAGE. That's on Fifth Street between Woody's on the north and O'Tooles to the south in front of the train tracks. We were right smack dab in the middle of the festival, smack dab in the middle of the afternoon. Yes a train went by while we were playing. No, it was not during Johnny Cash! Also, the Rock Stage featured some other great acts like The Howlin' Diablos (Saturday) and the Reefermen (Monday). On Saturday afternoon, if you got there a bit early you enjoyed being warmed up by The Beatles (Dig a Pony) and followed by the J. Geils Band (Raputa)! There were lots of great moments on stage at Arts Beats and Eats for Free Beer. One of our favorites was when Scott pointed the mic at the crowd to kick off “Add It Up” with a count off, and the entire crowd responded in unison with “1-2-3-4”.
But we have no visual record of our performance. It all happens so fast, getting on and off the stage, that we forgot to hand someone a camera. So if you happen to have a photo of the band, post it on our Facebook page and we will reward you with a Free Beer from Free Beer the next time we see you. Special Thanks to Laura Colavecchia for the “Straight Outta Royal Oak” picture. Wine for you. Sorry you missed Brittany and Rocky Horror!
Thanks to Mike Ripinski, John DiLorenzo, Veronica Gabriel, Jon Liu and Deedee Judy for their shots! More to come.
