Karmafest, The Lincoln Theatre
Last night, The Kickin Grass Band played the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC for the 3rd Annual Christmas Band Jam and Food Drive. Bob Meyer of The Progressive Music Center in Raleigh called me a few weeks back and asked if the KGB would be willing to play. Basically, the Progressive Music Center is a music instruction school for all ages and levels. They also offer a Band Jam program that matches students together to form and learn to play in a band atmosphere. The PMC sponsors a Christmas Jam each year to raise money and food for Raleigh's Interfaith Food Shuttle. This year Bob and his students raised more than 4,000 lbs. of food! Go Bob! The students were great! There were some 12-14 year old's that were Rockin'! Needless to say, the place was packed with parents of the students and all their friends from middle and high school. Not the atmosphere KGB is used to playing in! By the time we took the stage, the faithful KGB fans had shown up, most notably, The Lesko's from Pittsboro, Chadwick from Old Habits (sorry about the bad joke), Jen Bug and Hanky Panky, Ward and the rest of you I couldn't see...The set went good and I thank the sound crew at The Lincoln Theatre for doing such a good job after 5 hours of High School Rock. Oh yeah, we were fortunate to have Hank Smith from Barefoot Manner play a few songs with us. Thanks a bunch man! Well, until we meet again...from The KGB, Peace.
