Randy Rogers Band Soundcheck Party| Music

16 09 2010

So everyone that attended the Randy Rogers Band CD Release Party was also invited to attend soundcheck a couple of weeks later at Hill’s Cafe.  The only problem was the unexpected Tropical Storm Hermine which came busting through Austin the day before the show producing record rainfall and tons of road closures.   Hill’s Cafe is an outdoor venue so Hermine put quite a damper on things(pun intended).  But the show must go on so KVET moved the event to the safety of their back up venue, Midnight Rodeo.  With a roof over our heads and Randy and Brady in place, it was time for soundcheck. 

Soundcheck 1,2,1,2

A little adjustment…

They played a couple of songs and then there was a meet and greet.  Yep, we got to meet them!!!!  I had no idea that was going to happen so I was like a giddy little kid.  Randy and Brady were so humble and nice.  That was such a treat!

We were totally VIP… Ha!  Not gonna lie, we felt pretty special.

BIG THANKS to the Randy Rogers Band!!  Both shows were great!  Thanks to KVET for your ever popular Free Texas Music Series! And thanks to Midnight Rodeo for taking us in! 

Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Burning the Day!  Or you can download the album on iTunes.  Either way, you MUST get your hands on this album!  It’s sooooo good!!

Randy Rogers Band CD Release Party | Music

3 09 2010

Love the Randy Rogers Band! 1.) Because their music is great and 2.) Because they remain humble even though their latest CD, Burning the Day, debuted at #2 on the country music charts!!  Way to go guys!

The CD Release Party was held on August 23rd at The RANCH on West 6th.  It was a night full of celebration.  Not only was it Randy’s 2 year anniversary of life without a cigarette(Congrats!).  It was also his Birthday!! 

Side note: Little known fact about me, I LOVE birthdays!  So this other guy and tried to rally the crowded to sing Happy Birthday to Randy but we totally failed.  Sorry Randy.

They played a couple of my old favorites “In My Arms Instead” and “Buy Myself a Chance” along with some new songs from the album.  I really like Burning the Day; it’s a great album!  I’ve had it playing in my car since I got it that night.  Still trying to decide which song I like best.  It’s a close race between “Interstate“-so sweet, “Damn the Rain” -classic heart-break, ” Too Late for Goodbye” -a stand up anthem, “I’ve Been Looking for You So Long” – love and “Starting Over for Last Time” -my new motto.  Ok so that’s almost the entire album… but those are my favorites.  If I had to pick, “Interstate” steals my heart every time.

Another cool thing, our passes from this show also get us into sound check for next week’s performance at Hill’s Cafe as part of KVET’s Free Texas Music Series.  CAN NOT wait!!  Super excited!  Don’t worry there will be pictures covering that event as well 🙂

Are you a RRB fan too?  Have you heard their new album??  If not, it’s a MUST!  If so, what’s your favorite track?
