Music of Many - 4/30/13

Great show last night at the Hale Theater in Gilbert. Hunter Farris, a Gilbert teen, put on a fund-raiser concert featuring some of the East valley's best professional and up-and-coming musical talent, such as Michelle Baer, Jordan Bluth, Mark Kleinman, Jared Johnson, Brian Baer, Kaitlynn Kleinman, Tedd Glazebrook, Josh Menden, Celine Durney, Christie Huff, and MC6. 

It was a lively sell-out crowd and truly a lot of fun to be a part of. And it was such an honor to share the stage with a group of such talented artists. Most importantly, we're glad we were able to support Hunter in his fund-raising efforts.  Thanks for the invite, Hunter!

Rockin' at Monte Vista Village Resort

We had a fantastic show Wednesday night at the Monte Vista Village Resort in E. Mesa. The audience was rockin' and rollin'! Here's some praise we received from Nancy Ehrhart, the Monte Vista Village Activities Director,

"I wanted to let you know the guys were a HUGE hit at Monte Vista last night. Many people have approached me this morning demanding that I get them back next season! Please pass along my thanks to each of them."

It's always a ton of fun singing to an energized crowd. Tristan was on board for his first full show with MC6, and he rocked the house, especially with his lead on "Runaround Sue". It was also our first show with our new microphones - we're finally all wireless, which makes a huge difference.

So, thanks to the Monte Vista Village audience for such great support the other night, and a big HIGH-FIVE to Tristan for stepping up in his first show.

Tucson show - Feb 25th

Here's a clip from our show at the Rincon Country West Resort in Tucson on Feb 25th. Paul crooning "In the Still of the Night"!

New shirts

Hey, how do you like our new shirts? We broke these out for the Tempe Sweethearts Ball on Feb 13th.

Happy Valentines Day!

OK, admittedly, this is showing up a little late, but we just got the pictures back from the photographer, and that reminded us that we should probably write about the event. So...

We were invited to entertain at a Valentine's Day party at Word of Faith Family Church, in Chandler, and it was a fabulous show. We have performed twice for them now, and both times we were blown away by the awesome crowd! So gracious and appreciative...and lively, and FUN! Probably one of our favorite places to perform - the audience really makes a difference. Plus, their sound system rocks!

We were asked to prepare a mix of "love songs" for this show, it being a Valentine's party and all, so we had to hustle and add a couple of new songs to our repertoire. Given that, there were 2 songs we did that night that we had never performed before. For one of them (So Much In Love), we hammered out the ending about 10 minutes before going on stage!

Dan came up with a fun way to introduce a couple of our less-traditional love songs by identifying the "Steps to Recovery" from a bad breakup or broken heart (I Go To Pieces and Since You've Been Gone). The crowd really got a kick out of that, and I think we'll expand on that for future shows.

Jackson rocked the house as usual with his vocal percussion grooves, especially on The Lion Sleeps, and when we wrapped up the show, the crowd wanted more. Since we had exhausted our repertoire of love songs, we went into our doo-wop collection and dusted off Little Deuce Coupe to a standing ovation.

We could have kept going, but we knew they had some other entertainment and activities planned for the night and we didn't want to step on any toes, so we took our bows and then exited the stage to mingle with the audience for a while. Again, what a fun group of folks! Many thanks to Pastor White and Pastor Don for the invitation and for their great support.
