Had a great time last night playing for all the people that came out to the Hammonton Art Center.  We got to pull out lots of “old” songs for their themed evening of “Old and Vintage Art Works”.  We also got to see some of our old musical friends like John T. (yearlongday) and Jilly Gazzara, both from Hammonton.  They always use to come to the open mic we had at the Hammonton Bagel shop a few years back.   We always have a fun time at the Art Center and we Thank them for letting us play once again!  We hope to see you all again soon!!

We will be playing some music at the Hammonton Art Center on Bellevue Ave (near the railroad tracks) on Thursday night August 6th.  This is an open door performance which means “the door will be open so come on down”.  Always good to see our old friends in Hammonton and play some of our music for you!!  We start around 7 and we hope its a nice night.  Stop by say Hi and lsiten to a few tunes.
