Sundance Wedding on a Beautiful Fall Evening

We were invited to play for a wedding that was held on the deck of the Rehearsal Hall at Sundance. We have played here many times before, but the evening was just perfect as the leaves were turning but the weather held out and it was comfortable to have the ceremony outside. Many stayed to dance to the end of the night! Thanks to the crew at Sundance for all their help!

John Popper from Blues Traveler at Port of Call!

Mike Rytting was filling in for his good friend Dave Wilbur at Port of Call on Thursday, June 22nd. The band is called, "This is Your Band" and plays every Thursday at Port of Call. It's a venue where everyone from the audience comes up on stage and sings with the live back up band.

Tonight, someone noticed John Popper, the harmonica player/vocalist for Blues Traveler was sitting at the bar. The management invited him up on stage and he agreed! We played a couple of generic tunes, including "Stormy Monday". But the highlight of the night came when he tore it up on "Run Around", Blues Traveler's biggest hit. What an amazing musician! Even though he was a little...happy, he just sang perfectly and TORE IT UP on harmonica! Here's a picutre of him on stage taken with my cell phone. Bad photo, but a great memory!

Michael Dowdle Christmas Concert!

Michael Dowdle has been the guitar player in our group for about 6 years. We're fortunate to perform with such an outstanding and gifted musician! We always introduce him as the one player in the band that "never makes any mistakes"!

We have started to schedule concerts featuring Michael's music. Michael has recorded and released three Christmas CDs over the years. This holiday season, we are already booking events for corporate Christmas parties. It's the perfect event when you want something classy and memorable for a holiday event. We have done some events where the employer has arranged to give their employees Michael Dowdle CDs as gifts to remember the evening by.

Give us a call today and we'll fill you in on details. Call 801-979-7377 and ask for Mike.
