Happy Monday! A perfect night for Brandy Old Fashioneds, Ray LaMontagne, and a snow flurry or two. Been doing a lot of writing and rehearsing lately. I am heading into the studio with the BSB in March to start recording the new album. It feels like we have some good stuff happening, but I guess we'll find out...
The Booze Cruise finally settled on a date this year, July 21. We'd love to have a packed boat this time around. Come one, come all. It could be one of our last years. We've hooked up with an incredibale plot of land to camp on for any out-of-towners. Tickets should go on sale sometime next month.
Lastly, I just wanted to thank all of you that continue to come out and support local, original music. I can't tell you all how much it means to me and the band. There are so many musicians around this area that choose to make a living playing someone else's music. I have respect for all of them and also enjoy playing covers, but my heart lies on the other side of the tracks. Music, writing it, and performing it has consumed me in so many ways over the last 20 years. It has cost me jobs, relationships, and money, and yet I can't stop... so again, thanks. It means alot.
Ned Kelly's this Friday for all you Green Bay-ites.
Meow.

Hola
Just wanted to let everybody know that HOPE 2011 was a HUGE success. We raised over $10,000 for the Giesekes. Thanks to all who were involved. Throughout the winter, we will be looking for families in need of our help. Next year's event will help out one of these families. Keep an eye on oneforhope.org for details in the coming months.
Tonight, we are at Ned Kelly's in Green Bay. Come on out and have a night...
Other news : I have a pile of original material laying around. We just began rehearsing some of this stuff with the Broad Street Boogie in hopes of a new album this spring. I'll keep you posted.
Octoberfest is next weekend. See you there

Camping is also available for $5 per person a few miles from the Harbor on a great piece of private camping land (5106 Elm Valley Rd - Ogdensburg, WI). We were there last year, and it was a blast! Get there early and take advantage of volleyball, horseshoes, and a lazy river trip. There will be a campfire after the cruise. Plenty of tent space for the whole boatload.
If you haven't been on this cruise, now is the time!

TOMMY 8 : NOVEMBER 20, 2010 : TANNERS : KIMBERLY
The Tommy VIII benefit is in honor of Tommy Steinbruecker who lost his life in a motorcycle accident 8 years ago. Tommy was an exceptionally talented musician and got his start playing live at a very young age. He was the bass player in Green Bay’s own Annex. This benefit helps continue his memory and legacy as one of the area’s brightest stars who's life and talent was taken from us too soon.
All proceeds go towards the ongoing support of our LOCAL young talent by getting musical instruments to kids in the Fox Valley. Come out and support a great cause! The Broad Street Boogie plays from 9-10. This is an all ages event.
WAPL : THIS FRIDAY
I will be on air with Paul Hanna of Annex this Friday at 9am to promote Saturday's show. Local listeners, tune in to 105.7WAPL to hear the segment.

For those of you who haven't heard, the WAMI Award Show took place at the PAC in Appleton this past Monday. The Broad Street Boogie took home the Rock Artist of the Year Award. Pretty exciting and pretty unexpected. Also, pretty cool considering we're just a bunch of dudes who like getting together to jam. Congrats to the other Fox Valley who artists who won this year. There were quite a few.
What else is new... we've been playing out some of the new originals I wrote for the latest Cool Waters CD. They've been a lot of fun. We're also going to work on a couple of new covers for the summer. Hopefully, we'll keep y'all on your toes.
Well, that's about all for now. Heading to Hawaii to take a break for a few days. Looking forward to seeing you all this summer...
PS. I have a few copies of the "Maybe It's The Sunshine" single left. Ask me for one at a gig. They're free.

Hola Mis amigos! Just droppin in to let you know what's going on. The Waters Bros and Casey Jones just returned from a little Mexican excursion. Sun, Sand, Drinks, and Guitars - It was muy divertido. Congrats Jenn and Brent. You really know how to throw a party.
Mill Creek tonight... The Broad Street Boogie is back in downtown Appleton tonight. We'd love to see you all out. We also have a sweet little WBACJ show on St Pattys Day at Anduzzis in Appleton. If it's anything like last year, it could be a bit nuts...
The Broad Street Boogie was again nominated for WAMI Rock Band of The Year (we never win these awards, but it's kind of fun to get nominated...). This year, the WAMI Award Ceremony will be held in Appleton at the PAC. You can find details, buy tickets, OR VOTE FOR GW AND THE BSB FOR THE PEOPLES' CHOICE AWARD by clicking here.
The summer schedule is up. We have a few holes to fill, but the current schedule page should give you a good idea where we'll be. Also, the Booze Cruise is set for July 24, but we don't have any details yet. Stay tuned.
That's it for now. See you tonight!!
