Re-post of Billy Price Summer Newsletter

Friends,

I expect that I will be blogging more frequently in the near future. We are almost finished with a complete redesign of our web site, and on the new site, the "BP's Blog" link is prominent on every page. That means that I'm going to have to get back in the habit of writing more frequently here; otherwise no one will ever bother to click these now-prominent links.

So, to get me started, I am re-posting the message I sent out to the email mailing list about a month ago. You'll note that all of the June dates I wrote about have already happened. But the July dates haven't, and they are pretty good. Anyhow, if you are reading this now, stay tuned--soon I'll be telling you about my upcoming trip to France in November and posting some pretty funny photographs of myself from long, long ago.

Regards,
Billy

We have a busy summer planned. You may have noticed that over the past couple of years, we have been evolving into a community-celebration band, and this year is no exception, as you will see below. It may be time to embrace this niche in our marketing strategy. So, communities in the Western world, the next time you stage an event to celebrate your common bonds with one another by encouraging your youth to gorge on cheese-laden curly fries, funnel cakes, corn dogs, kettle corn, and hot sausage sandwiches--we're your guys.

Here are some of the highlights of our upcoming summer schedule, which begins on Friday, June 8 in Pittsburgh's Strip District at The Boardwalk (9:30 pm):
  • June 9, Grove City PA Strawberry Days (7:00 pm)

  • June 16, Fundraiser for The Children's Institute of Pittsburgh Amazing Kids, Palisades Ballroom, McKeesport, PA (8:00 pm)

  • June 21, Wilkins Township PA Community Days (7:30 pm)

  • June 30, Westmoreland Arts & Heritage Festival, Twin Lakes Park, Greensburg, PA (6:30 pm)

  • July 14, Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, State College, PA (8:00 pm)

  • July 20, Pittsburgh Blues Festival, Hartwood Acres, Gibsonia, PA (time to be announced)

  • July 21, Bucks County Blues Society Picnic, Morrisville, PA (3:30 pm)

  • July 22, Lock Haven PA Summer Concert Series (6:30 pm)


In addition to these festivities, we'll also be playing a couple of club dates--June 29 at the Beach Room in Finleyville, PA, and August 10-11 at J.M. Randalls in Williamsburg, VA. All of the details on the gigs listed here are on our web site at www.billyprice.com/schedule.html. And while you're on our web site, please check out the latest rave review of East End Avenue at www.billyprice.com/bluesmatters.html.

Soulfully yours,
Billy Price
