NY Open performance

We performed at The Presidents Gate for the US Open on Monday.  It was a little bit of a nail-biter because we were outside and it was scheduled to rain at any moment.  But we arrived and the weather looked like it would hold up.  The Presidents Gate is the area where all the tennis players arrive as well as celebs, press & assorted VIP's.  Unfortunately, I don't know any tennis players, so while I saw hundreds arrive, I didn't know who was who.  We did have quite a flux of admirer's, videographers & media taking our photos, so you might see us in a background shot somewhere.

The sky did finally crack open after about an hour of performing and it was a mad dash to higher ground & safe coverage.  Hugs go to our usual suspects, Ariana Rosen, Hannah Hens-Piazza, Lauren Riley-Rigby, Ted Ganung & Annette Homann (who is pinch hitting for Kate while she has her baby.)  Kudo's also go out to Tera Buerkle of GO! Productions in Atlanta for booking us and organizing.  I know it's sometimes like herding cats to get all the musicians together for huge events, so she had her work cut out for her.  

We heart the US Open.

The Pleasantdale Chateau

This summer has been filled to the brim with garden events!  It has been a little bit of a nail biter with the temperamental weather extremes, but the gods have been smiling down on us and we have been super lucky that all of our garden events have been picture perfect. Particularly our ceremony at the Pleasantdale Chateau.  Our bride and groom chose alt/rock repertoire for their processional, so it was our job to make them as romantic & fresh as our beautiful surroundings.  http://www.pleasantdale.com/

Turntable Tuesday

by Ted Ganung

For this week I bring one of my latest productions with my great friend DJ mSdoS.

With over 20 years of musical experience Nookie has always stayed true to his musical beliefs and his tracks have lasted the test of time. One of his all time classic Drum & Bass anthems 'Only You' has now been unleashed and given the remix treatment for 2012 by some of Phuzion Digital's most promising and talented producers!
