24 May at Mike’s Sports Bar in Medicine Lodge

| Posted on

Hey, folks…this Saturday will be a hell of a show that you can’t afford to miss…Aaron’s going to be doing a combined show with geek rock artist Arturo Got the Shaft. It’ll be Cap’n Rob‘s last show in the Barber County, indeed the southern Kansas, area for the foreseeable future. Do not miss this show. Look for things to kick off by 8:00, with Aaron and the Shaft trading the spotlight(s) quite frequently. It’ll be a pretty laid-back party, and the entertainment doesn’t really care about anything but having a good time. It’ll be enjoyable for all…see you there.

CD sales are going well. Profitability after 2 1/2 weeks isnt’ bad, especially when it’s being almost given away for $5.00.

Aaron’s opening for Trevor this Friday at JC’s Bar and Grill in Salina. It’d be a nice little road trip and a great show for those of you with little to do.

This is the big weekend, folks. Come spend the final weekend of spring break at Buster’s Saloon in Sun City.

Chivalrous Productions will be there in full force, recording the event for the upcoming live album, “Coffee Grounds”, so come early for some fantastic food and a seat for a great show. The music kicks off at 7:30 with the folk music and bluegrass dinner set. With a few special appearances in store, the party starts at 9:00 with a brand new, overhauled setlist. Tell your friends and neighbors; if you can hoot and / or holler, you need to be at Buster’s this Saturday night.

11 March Auction / Open Mic

| Posted on

I think I still have something. After failing badly on Saturday opening for Trevor, I came out and tore up Guitar Town and nailed the brand new third verse to 200 Miles Away. I also had a request for, believe it or not, Doldrums tonight. I never thought that would happen. All this happened after the worst auction in a long time. We sold 650 lots in 4 1/2 hours. It was a bunch of auctioneers and ringman dancing over a 100 bidder flame. Alan, bless his heart, picked this night to demonstrate how valuable he thought he wasn’t during the auction. We sold most of what we had for a good price, which, in the end, is what every auctioneer strives to do. It wasn’t easy doing it, though, and the two…count them, two…computer failures during the night didn’t make my life any easier. It was so bad that when I was offered time on the stand I refused because I was so tired and jaded. I’m glad I had the open mic to ease my spirits…Oh, by the way, I played for what supposedly was a Capitol Records representative tonight. He had someone with him who played a Ryan Adams song better than Ryan himself played it. I was quite impressed.
