We were fortunate enough to be invited to perform at a couple of functions with USANA at their convention held in SLC, Aug 27-29. Many members of the band joined in the opening ceremonies that featured music performances by some of USANAs big wigs. We really had a great time. We were joined on stage by Collin Raye, country superstar! We performed 4 of Collin's songs.
We then finished the night by having pre-invited conventioneers come up on stage to perform the song of their choice...kind of a "USANA Idol". What a great time and a fantastic crowd!
Later in the week, we performed as part of the main convention meeting with nearly 10,000 in attendance in the Delta Center. Thanks for having us USANA!

Wonderful Wedding at Silver Lake Lodge, Deer Valley
We always love going up to Deer Valley to have a world class environment to play at, and Silver Lake Lodge is one of our favorites. The bride and groom were lovely and the bridal party stayed all night, dancing the night away. We were also contracted to provide an hour's worth of jazz, which is a treat for the players in the band. We get out a different set of music than we normally play and we really enjoy the change. It's a nice blend of traditional jazz, smooth jazz, some pop standards that work well as instrumentals. The players get a chance to stretch out a bit. Beautiful wedding! Thanks for having us!

Salamanders at Mellaleuca Convention!
We had the opportunity to play for the thousands that come to SLC every year for the Mellaleuca Convention held at the Salt Palace Convention Center. It's always a great time, and we have played for this event several years now. I was told that there are 8,000 people in attendance! Pretty incredible. We were lucky enough to have Tommy Hopkins and Todd Mitchell perform with us. What a great time with great players and killer music!

Erin's Slumber Party a Huge Success!
We had a blast at B98.7's "Erin's Slumber Party" this year. One of the highlights was to get to meet and work with Michael Damian, who had the hit single "Rock On" in the 90's. You know..."Hey kids, Rock and Roll, Rock On". He is also a soap opera star...you know which one...uh... Anyway, he was a sweetheart to work with and the crowd of women loved his performances. Thanks to all at B98.7 for the invitation, especially Todd and Erin, Rusty Keys, Shawn Stevens and Ceci Williams. It's always a pleasure to work with you guys!
