I write about local music stuff in West Virginia and nearby Ohio. I post lots of information about the Greens and musical benefit events I organize for my non profit organization. Americana music focused.

Greens updates

The Greens played at River City Grille in Marietta last night. This was a small-ish crowd; lots of Greens fans regulars were not in attendance. It was an appreciative crowd, but more of a listening crowd than a dancing crowd. It allowed the Greens to include a few more songs of variety than when they get a dance crowd going, so that was nice to have the opportunity. They introduced at least one new song that was well received and will likely be incorporated into the steady set list. I got a chance to catch up with Andy and Danny prior to the show, as they stopped by the house on their way into town, and were treated to a home cooked meal! They were excited by the show the previous night in Pittsburgh, at Moondog's (www.moondogs.us) run by a very friendly and enthusiastic music lover, Ron "moondog" esser. The Greens really felt hosted well, and are eager for more shows there, and future contact with Ron. Euphonic Brew, a band from the Pittsburgh area, who the Greens have struck up a connection with through some festivals, etc. also played, and the Greens feel a good connection there, too.
Andy and Danny talked about the band's efforts to get a van, so that they could venture out on a potential tour, as outlined in their my space site starting in May. These dates are just the "tentative" dream sequence of cities; so stay tuned for updates. As they make their contacts and connections and use existing friends and relatives, this tour will take shape.
They also talked about submitting "Little Warrior" to www.taxi.com (the website service that helps promote bands songs to various leads/ resources.) Check out this website to see what it is all about.
