Moondance Jam: Rain or Shine

(Thu Jul 16) I'm about to go onstage in Walker, MN for Moondance Jam…. at a bar on the venue property that holds only 500 people like the Cabo Wabo. The festival got rained out completely. Three day annual fesitval, 10 thousand campers, 30,000 people. Torrential rain, flooding everywhere, electronics underwater. A real mess, looked like Woodstock…

No one played on the big stage, but we wanted to play and so we're going to play. We noticed these lights coming out of a building at the back of the festival ground and say, "What's that?" Promoter explained it was their biggest bar on the property, and we say "Let's go, I want to play for those people".  Completely by the seat of our pants; the band gave them a fantastic rocking performance that they'll all remember. It was Cabo Wabo style all the way baby! Just like from the Cantina. 

It went F—— great & they sold out of rum!!!! There were thousands outside the venue was PACKED!! And rocking like the best of Cabo.  Big score.
