Frogs Gone Fishin' is on a short break until we play at Dulcinea's in Denver on the 9th with our friends Toasted Jelly. The days off are well deserved, as we played 15 shows in June, or roughly a show every other night in ten different cities.
Toasted Jelly, like several bands in Denver/Boulder, is made up of players who members of FGF have played with in years past. This group of about ten musicians in four bands have rotated members since high school and all continue to stay in touch and jam together.
In my mind this is what constitutes a "music scene", along with consistent venues to play at and a dedicated group of music lovers who come out to see shows on a regular basis. We just received word that another band in our circle, The Springdale Quartet (Boulder), will be playing at the 10,000 Lakes Festival. We can't help but be happy for these guys; not only because they are our friends, but because we know that success for them means success for the rest of the circle. When it rains it pours.
At least we hope so. Because the only leg of summer tour more intense than the one we just completed, is the leg we have coming up... 18 shows in just over a month.
