Summer
T
welve years of summer shows in Nashville. Great town. But now it’s time to hit the road.
Take a chance on some different venues. First stop: Indianapolis. We’re optimistic. But no one
knows whether we’ll get good crowds and good times–or will it be about as much fun as playing
20th Century string quartet music in a biker bar? But, hey, if we wanted predictable, we’d have
gotten real jobs. Anyway, we’ve got what keeps musicians going through good gigs and bad.
No, not groupies. Better. We’ve got new gear.
So are you ready? Then let’s get down...to business.
And here, in our fast-read NSN format, are the new toys of summer.
