I had a chance to see one of our members Steven Gary, great bass player and vocalist in action at Champs in Morgan Hill last Thursday. Steven had a Guitar, Bass and Drum trio going hard at it in the loft at Champs. Despite the fact they were 15 feet above the crowd who was watching the Sharks game, the trio gave it their all and between plays managed to get more than few rounds of applause from a crowd that multitasked watching the game and singing along to some of the more popular songs. I personally thought the venue would have benefited by having the Trio down on the main floor, but apparently the loft is where management wants the bands.
Just a note of encouragement to get out and support fellow members. We have damn few venues for live local country bands in this area. Venues gauge bands based on how much additional revenue - ie people the bands are able to generate. If we want to start building the country scene here, we will need to work collectively to help promote these venues and the country bands they bring in.
