Just a few hours after returning home from the DYC... Dave, Bill, and Matt were back at it again!  After a sleepy setup, we got peppy with a prepared first set, and a full crowd-request second. Jody was piggybacking it and painted the extraordinary "Cats Down Under The Stars," pictured above.  We love playing at the Sardine Room! ​

It was our honor to take the stage at the Detroit Yacht Club to celebrate superfan Debbe Sapperstein's 65th birthday!  At her request, we created a facebook event for the gig but only kept it up until about 80 people had responded.  A super kind crowd showed and had an incredible party in Debbe's honor.  Jody Bauman even painted another incredible work as a gift for the birthday girl. We played 2 sets, and our second set lasted longer than 2 hours.  Big ups to Aaron who ran our sound and lighting designer Britton, their contributions really elevated our show.  We hope to see y'all in Wyandotte on 7/19 for our Sunday Socials performance!

Thanks to all who photographed the event!

Play ball!  We returned to the UWM Field (renamed from Jimmy John's Field) to play their 2026 Grateful Dead night.  Alex, Bill, Joseph, and Dave joined by Adam Bodeep on guitar, played 2 sets of Grateful Dead Music.  We were joined in a VIP box with winners Kimi Ann Young and Sean Michael Mischley, who each won 4 packs of tickets in our Facebook page contest.  Also joining us was one of our 3 favorite Waldeckers, James - who was celebrating his birthday and won the Name That Tune game. 

We will return to UWM Field in October for an indoor beer festival.  Stay tuned!
