ATLANTA Sun.June.14

J- (Thanks to Bill H for the Pics!)
Played at Smith's Olde Bar near Mid-town Atlanta tonight. Great room with an awesome sound system!

We left Savannah at around 10am and let me tell you, Savannah and Atlanta are not as close to each other as one might think. Solid 4 hr drive, with an accident on the highway to boot 10 miles out of Atlanta that would have added another hour to our travel time had Laura not been quick to map an alternate route. She's quick, that one! Made it to Atl in time to eat, decompress, and sneak in a 30 min nap before heading off to load in and sound check.

As a small, independent act playing on a Sunday night is a gamble; hell playing any night other than Fri or Sat can be a gamble. Wait a minute...playing any night is a gamble for us while we're touring. Who the hell are we? CALAHONEY! That's right, baby! OK, back to the original train of thought...playing on a Sunday night is a gamble because you never know who will come out to the show; not everyone is off touring and able to stay up on a Sunday night like we are ; ) but we knew that going in and we just wanted to play a good set for good people. And we did!

We started of the set with a A Smile To Wear and Whiskey Girl. Strong starters and they both set the tone of our style for those who don't really know our music. We played a strong 55 min set of which in the middle, I drew blood from my index finger 'cause I was shredding sooooo hard! Ahaha! It's definitely one of the more pride inducing moments in the life of a guitarist when you play until your fingers bleed. We ended with our version of Crazy and the crowd goes wild. Fun night with good drinks and great friends.

So a tidbit about Smith's...the place is a true musician's venue. A rock-n-roll house with a great vibe. And to top it off, you get a case of 16oz Naty Lights on ice!! Now if that's not rockin' I don't know what is. Laura has become partial to Jack on ice, NO MIXER! She's taking to this road quite well.

We got a few days with family and then get ready for Chapell Hill this Friday. Until then, Naty Lights all the way...

Cheers
