LIVE MUSIC

The California Honeydrops are a fantastic rhythm & blues band.  The eight of us in our group heartily agreed it was the best live show we’d ever seen. The tickets were $25; a tremendous bargain.

 

If they are playing anywhere close to you, go see and hear them.  You will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately it appears I'll need to fly anywhere they'll be playing.

 

EDIT:Listened to a bit on streaming app. Too bad they aren't closer. Good music.

 

 

May 26-28, 2023 in Cumberland, MD.  I don’t think you need to fly there.

Originally I tried to organize a gathering of old college friends (redundant) to see The Mavericks at the Royal Oak Theater in April, but tickets were over $400 each.

 

When a knowledgeable old girlfriend (again redundant) recommended TCH as a favorite live band, I bought six tickets at $25 each.  Despite my strong confidence in my friend’s musical taste and opinions, I was nervous about organizing a group outing to hear a “bargain” band none of us had heard of. A fourth couple got a pair of tickets before it was sold out.

 

The warmup-band was very good, so I felt some relief.  When TCH took the stage, my concerns vanished.  While the room was rocking, one of our group gave me an enthusiastic thumbs up with a huge grin on her face.

 

Thanks Bruce @Marvel for posting the YouTube video.  TCH is more a party than a concert.

Great find @DizRotus. I had not heard of them. Very nice. Break out your "old" friends and go on a road trip to Denver. Saw they were playing Red Rocks next year. My kids took me there earlier this year as a "bucket list" gift. Well worth it. The acoustics would be great for this party band. Wear your hiking shoes.

When is the last time you heard a trombone solo @tromprof? TCH had one, and the guy nailed it.  Do you get a sense that I strongly recommended this band?

 

I felt so guilty about those $25 tickets I downloaded a couple albums from TCH website.

 

As a professional trombonist I hear trombone solos all the time 😜

However, it is nice seeing a band use a horn section!
