San Genero Feast - September 16, 2004


We've been invited back to perform at The San Genero Feast again .Thanks to Bella Foods of Phoenix our sponsor, we will get to spend a few extra days in New York City.
Little Italy will be packed with people and venders will be everywhere selling all the wonderful Italian food they are famous for, and of course, the New York audiences are fantastic. We will be doing two shows Sunday evening, Sept.18th, on a stage positioned at the corner of Grand and Baxter Street right off Canal Street.
Steve, John and myself will be traveling east and are fortunate to be able to get Andrea Valentini on drums. You music buffs may recognize the name, he has been with “Blood Sweat and Tears” for over four years now. We're really looking forward to be there again, so if you are in N.Y. stop by and say hi!
