What a fantabulous weekend with Hit Machine! Again, playing the Portland Rose Festival has to be one of the most memorable concerts for me ever. We played a straight 2 1/2 hr set in perfect Portland, Oregon weather. Thank you Tony DeMicoli! HUGE thanks to Jennifer Batten for being a VERY special guest. She tore it up on the guitar and it was incredibly gracious of her to make it all happen at the last minute as she just arrived home from a European tour. Additional thanks to Karla Montenegro for sitting in with us. Karla sings with Dance Machine which is another band in the Bartholomew Productions family of bands. She did fabulous rockin Domino by Jessie J and singing Christinas part on Moves Like Jagger when I really gave her no warning about it… :) Another round of thanks goes out to our guest keyboardist, Steveland Swatkins! Im not sure if they come any funkier than Steve! His keyboard embellishments and soloing were out of this world and I know we barely scratched the surface with him on Saturday... Does someone have video of his solo in Kiss by Prince? Big thanks to AA Sports for having us out again this year at the Blue Lake Triathlon and Duathlon. We played 9am-1pm on both Saturday and Sunday… Great Event, Great times, Great people and always fun to see lots of familiar faces… Cyndie Burke Pelto, Amy Ridenour Little, Karen King, Rod Walker, Megan Joseph, Ingri DeGroote, Stephanie Foster, Tamatha Hanke, Darren Hanke and Im missing many more at the moment but you know who you are! We missed Mr. Blake Sakamoto but hell be home soon (June 17th?) from touring Sweden, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland and the Czech Republic with the Dan Reed Network! Wishing Blake and all my DRN friends awesome shows and safe travels! Here are links to photo sets shot by Waz-Mix Pix at the Rose Festival. It was AWESOME to have him there and PLEASE like and share his page with others!
