Finally catching up with the blog (July '22).  We played this as a trio because Levi got drunk and ghosted.  Really the first sign of what was to come.

There Be Monsters In Calhoun!

Originally scheduled for last month, but, global pandemic.  They have a killer house PA, and a good guy to run it.  Everybody was well-prepared and relaxed.  About 20 Romans made the drive, so we had a friendly crowd.

BehindHeard started as a way to help local Service Industry folks who are out of work during the pandemic.  We did a test run the previous week, got the camera in the right place, set up the Venmo, and BOOM!  We raised nearly $2000 in a couple of hours.  Thanks, y'all.

There Be Monsters, David Bell, Asa Lloyd, and King Naldo took turns playing songs.  We all ended up onstage with David Bell to close with "With A Little Help From My Friends".

Flannel Fest!

1/4/20
Rome City Brewing Co. Taproom
Rome, GA

Libby Gore had hired an Alice in Chains tribute band to play Aaron's 40th birthday.  They backed out, so she asked us if we could learn a bunch of grunge-type songs.  We ran through a few the first night, and decided to go for it.  Everybody worked really hard, and we made it happen.  It was a surprise party, and they pulled it off.  So much fun!
