Pies and Pints featured the regular crew (Tom Rooney, Johnny Fitzpatrick, Pat Ferris, and myself) plus Matt Heron playing the entire night. It was Pat’s birthday and he was in an especially good mood. A good crowd, including a family that sat at the closest booth with a little girl that was dancing up a storm. Michal and Au Bickle made it through an entire set, which is always nice to play for!

Lots of Dead covers and a couple Rolling Stones tunes, we’re dangerously close to becoming a classic rock cover band… Pat sat out the last set to hang with his friends and family. When we started playing Rocky Top, a guy came up from the crowd and said “may I?”, pointing towards the bass.  A great player, Eric ended up playing the rest of the night with us. Turns out he was born and raised in Tennessee. He talked about how it’s interesting that growing up barraged by the song, he was sick of it. But after moving away it becomes endearing. I totally understand what he was talking about.
