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!
