Happy new year! (one month after) - Super busy past few months with lots of gigs, school and general life events. Coming up - this Thursday, Heebie and the Jeebies will be performing at Alex’s Bar - Long Beach’s classic renown venue. The Killing Floors and The Silverados will be on the bill as well. Looking further ahead - Red Coyote Band will be traveling out to Sedona, AZ for a special “evening with” type of show at the Mary D. Fischer theater. More dates to be added to that travel and more gigs to come!
