The triumphant return to Worcester

So it had been over a year since we played Worcester. We always love playing Worcester. Me and Diamond D spent some time here in our youths (hell, I was born two towns away) and we still have lots of friends and musician buddies in Central Mass. Since Union Blues closed last year, we had a lot of trouble finding a good venue for the band. But as soon as Gilreins opened up (or should I say re-opened, ten years later) I knew we'd found our Worcester home.
We had a great time on Friday the 13th at Gilreins, the band was smokin' and the crowd was into it. The staff was real nice, the club itself was beautifully detailed, and the sound system was stellar (thanks Jonathan!). I listen back to the recording and you can hear the intensity of the band and the excitement of the audience. D was so psyched to be back (he had played here years before with his previous bands, including the Rhythm Rockers) and a lot of folks turned out to see him tear up the room once again.
A few days after the gig, I got a call from the owner, who thanked me profusely for such a great night and inquired about our imminent return.
So it looks like we've found our new Central Mass headquarters! Looks for us again in October!
