We are resting from the last tour to the Bay Area. It was a success. Almost all of the performances were with these players:
Karen Stachel, Flute
Norbert Stachel, Sax
Matt Clark, Piano
Jeff Tamelier, Guitar
DeWayne Pate, Bass
Karl Perazzo, Percussion
Dan Gonzalez, Drums
Tony Lindsay, Vocals
Derrick Hughes, Vocals
We played at Yoshi's in Oakland the first night. Nice size crowd. Many friends and family. The next night we played at the Fenix Lounge in San Rafael, CA. This time we had Derrick Hughes on vocals.
Friday night we played at Armando's in Martinez, CA. Such a great venue to hear and play music. Sunday we were at Cafe Pink House in Sarasota. Our last gig was at Cafe Stritch in San Jose. There we had Deszon Claiborne on drums. We had a blast and we are already planning our next tour to the Bay Area in October! Hope to see you then.
