Friday: We didn't get very far before we stopped for gas, at which point Zach realized that we had a flat tire on the trailer. Luckily, he's dealt with plenty of these while driving our gear back and forth across the county, so he'd swapped tires in about ten minutes.
Our show in Charlotte was at the Fillmore Underground, our second time in this room and our second time selling it out. Unfortunately, we messed up on the load in/soundcheck/start time and had to make a quick pizza run around the corner before the show.
This evening's crowd did not disappoint! They were great for the entire show. The Fillmore was also very pleased, and it sounds like we'll be graduating to the big room next time.

The Orange Peel has a new PA, and we have a bunch of new fans! We came within a hundred people of selling it out (925 plus guests in the room). It's amazing--I can still remember what it looked like the for our first show here when there were 125 people in the room.
Another great crowd (even the old ladies are good looking in Asheville) that listened very attentively, and we gave them a good show. Also, somebody thought I was a keyboard player who also played sax and flute, which I will take as a compliment.

Here's the video from our Facebook Live feed:
My solo (the last 3:50 of the video) on Taking it to the Streets is a little better than average, with less bullshit more coherent musical ideas, though it does stay outside a little longer than I probably should have let it.
Here's an updated Yacht Rock calendar. The next Boston (5/18) and Washington DC (5/20) dates have already sold out!
