Old El Paso.........

What's up EC Fans, another week gone by and lots of news to share with you all. We started the week off on Thursday performing under the stars at Austin Ranch, a residential community in North Dallas. We had an incredible turnout and made tons of new fans. Check out our photo album on Facebook to see all the fun. Friday we took the show on the road and headed west to El Paso, Texas. We performed at a fundraiser event which had a Latin Carnival theme. Check out the video below for some great scenes from the party. We flew back Saturday and after a cancelled flight and some delays, we made it back home. We performed a private wedding that evening and called it a week. We would like to say Happy Birthday to EC alumni and Limelight band leader, Mark Russell. Happy Birthday big guy!
This week we have no public performances but will be back live and kicking soon. Check out our website calendar to find a show near you. Also, it is not too early to start thinking about New Years Eve with EC. Last year was a complete sellout and we know there were a lot of disappointed fans that were not able to get in. Check out the official ECNYE website to purchase your tickets before it's too late.
Have a great week!

Rally 'Round Emerald City!

Hello again from the EC family. Last week we had just one public show, but it was a fun one. We were at the Rally 'Round Greenville festival in the heart of downtown Greenville, Texas. Awesome fans and food. Thanks to Milton Babb and all the folks from the city whose hospitality made for a great evening of music and celebration.
This week we have just one public show, it will be at Austin Ranch in The Colony on Thursday September 23 from 7:00-9:00pm. Come on out and enjoy what will be one huge party. We look forward to seeing all of you there. Meanwhile, check out this weeks video clip filled with highlights from last weeks shows.

Working for a Living.....

Hey EC Fans,
We had another great road trip this past weekend and we also celebrated our trumpet player Jim's birthday.It all started Friday as we flew to Kansas City to perform at a fundraiser at the Kansas City Motor Speedway. We performed with our good friends Huey Lewis & The News. Even thought the weather was being uncooperative, we had a great time seeing old friends and toughing out the storm. We headed back to the hotel after the gig where we proceeded to throw Jim a make shift birthday party. Jimmy Jack was in rare form and we filmed a nice video to show you all. Check out this weeks video newsletter to see some of the fun.
Then it was off to Oklahoma City where we performed at one of our favorite spots, Nichols Hills. What an audience, these folks had a really good time as did we. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and hung out with some of our drummer Kenny's old friends, The Burtons, who happened to be performing in the lobby bar. Some of the horn players played with the band as did Kenny. All of a sudden, half our audience from the earlier show came to the bar and then it was on. We closed the place down with some great music and drinks. After a rough start, we flew back to Big D on Sunday morning and closed out another Big EC Weekend. This week we have one public show, in Greenville, TX. It is the Rally 'round Greenville Street Festival and it is free and open to all. Come out to this great event and dance to some great tunes, right in the heart of downtown Greenville. Hope to see you all there. Have a great week!

Labor Day Fun in the Sun!

We hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day weekend. We sure did. As we said goodbye to Summer, we welcome the beginning of Fall with some great shows. Last week started with a smoking dance fest at Sullivans Ringside. This place always brings out the best in our fans dance moves. We then took the road show to Fat Daddy's in Fort Worth. Now this was our first time performing at this new venue and I have to say, the staff and management were just awesome to us. We want to thank all our fans that made the journey from North Dallas. We always love to see all you guys. Fort Worth came out for a great time and that is exactly what we gave them. We look forward to coming back soon.
This week we have a public show in the City of Bedford
(visit www.emeraldcityband.com for details). We then take the Emerald City Big Show on the road to Kansas City where we perform at the Kansas City Motor Speedway with Huey Lewis & The News. Always a great time with old friends. Then we jet off to Oklahoma City for a private show. We will be back in full swing after our road trip with new shows and new looks so stay tuned for more EC News!
