Tess Turbo - the band I've been in for a number of years, first as a back up singer and now as bassist - just took our act national!
Back in March we were invited to play a large Christmas party in San Antonio. At the time we just thought, "Oh sure, that'd be fun, but it probably ain't gonna happen."
Time passed, rehearsals continued for other shows, and we mostly forgot about it... until the invitee followed up again in October, agreed to make all the arrangements, and set us up with gear.
All of a sudden, we were taking our drag-rock cover band to the same state that essentially boycotted the Dixie Chicks for disagreeing with our previous president - THIS would be interesting, thought the band.
Our hosts were gracious and fun loving - along with their whole family (related to our Drummer, Buckin Beckie) - and the revelers really and truly reveled: People danced, some guy did a flip right in front of the band as Paul was singing at him, and we got all kinds of rock love after we wrapped up our two sets. Special shout out to the couple who told us all about when shagged in the nearby bathroom during our performance - rock and roll, baby.
Most of all, props to drummer Buckin Beckie and guitarist JJ Pooper for all their hard work that made the entire trip possible. You guys are THE rockstars of the tour!
