Another month has gone by and so quickly! We've had a couple of weekends off with Easter this month and we've been trying to get some recording done as well so it all worked out for good. Starting the month off great with our opening gig with the Pat McGee band at Mary Washington College, which turned out to be a great show and a great time. The crowd was very responsive and we were stoked to be playing at our local college. It was also a priviledge to play with Pat and the band and hopefully we will hook up with them again. We then made another visit to our friends up at WRNR in Annapolis for the Local Diner. It was great to see Damian and Michael again and we had a blast playing on the air again. It was Matt's first time with us up there and he loved it as well...but he's not hard to please! Friday the 4th brought us to the big ceilidh to celebrate Tartan Day at Lu Lu's Club Mardi Gras in DC. It was our first time there and it is quite a place. We had an incredible time playing and the crowd was very receptive. We were glad to be a part of the celebration this year, and since the Festival on the mall was cancelled because of the war, this was the only celebration in DC. I'm sure we will be back at Lu Lu's in the future so keep your eyes open. We hit the White Horse again on the second weekend and caught everyone by suprise by opening our set with our version of the Devil Went Down to Georgia for the first time ever. It was a blast, as it usually is at WHP! We ended the month at the Southern Maryland Celtic Festival. We had quite a response last year when we played at 11:00 in the morning, so they put us at 2pm this year to play for more people. We were very appreciative of the overwhelming response from the crowd this year as well. We had such a great time playing the festival and were so happy that the rain held off for the whole day. We were happy to meet and talk to lots of the fans, some of which were from last year and some of which we made that day. We are looking forward to 2004 in So Md.
The next day, some of us (Fla. Wayne, Matt, Gene (roadie), Turner (killer), Hannah (the prez.) and I (jeff) hooked up an incredible opportunity to see Nickel Creek at Mary Washington College. It turned out to be the best show I have ever seen in my life. They are the most incredible musicians and some of the coolest people I've ever met. So if you ever get a chance to see these guys (and lady)perform, make every effort to take it. I guarantee, it will be an unforgettable experience! (So what if I'm a groupie!) Anyway, until next time...go with God!!
rock on--jeff]]> http://jeffgreerband.com/news.html#54 Mon, 05 May 2003 21:11:38 -0700 voice. guitar. passion - jeff greer - news http://jeffgreerband.com/news.html#53

Well it's been a while since I wrote, so I figured it's about time to give everyone who's interested something new to read. March brought us our first official "tour". We had an incredible time on the tour; we learned alot of stuff and had a blast doing it and afterwards, we were definitely convinced that this is what we want to do full time! Don't get me wrong, it had it's ups and downs for sure, but all in all, it was well worth it! We learned that we'll never play at Fado in Philly again and that we will definitely go back down south to play in Savannah, GA! I won't get into all the details of how much Doug, Matt and our roadie Gene's hotel room smelled in Savannah after the chinese food they ordered...for three days! I will just say that it was very hard to go back to real jobs in the real world again, that's for sure! Savannah was quite crazy, though! It was a big drunk fest. I wasn't our thing really, so as the night went on, we didn't stick around for long down on River street. We definitely had an incredible time playing there on the big stage, for lots of people. Several thousand people were there total for the two nights we played and we had a very good response. We definitely made some southern fans that weekend. St. Paddy's day festivities on Monday were rained out as far as the bands went, but the parade went on and we packed up and got an early start headed back home...back to our dreaded real life. But we had quite an adventure on the road and it won't be soon enough for us when we hit the road again! --jeff]]> http://jeffgreerband.com/news.html#52 Wed, 16 Apr 2003 17:27:40 -0700 voice. guitar. passion - jeff greer - news http://jeffgreerband.com/news.html#51
After spending most of 10 days on the road playing at our regular pubs, some new pubs and the 2nd largest St. Paddy's Day festival in the country, I can definitely say that going back to our regular day jobs was the last thing we desired. We had such a blast on this tour, despite all the hang-ups and change arounds and adjustments and just everyday hitches that come with being on the road in a van with 9 people going from place to place, playing a show, packing up, sleeping in a hotel and hitting the road again the next day on the way to another place to do it again. It was definitely to short to really get the full affect of it, but it was not to short to learn a few things along the way! Regardless of whatever did not go as we planned, being able to play just about every night; doing what we really love to do; made every minute all worth while. I can honestly say, that we all cannot wait to do it again, and soon, for good! We'll keep pressing on until we can do it full time, or until we die trying...you can surely count on that!]]> http://jeffgreerband.com/news.html#51 Fri, 21 Mar 2003 22:09:07 -0800 voice. guitar. passion - jeff greer - news
