TunaFest at Rice U

This Friday, July 2, we’ll be playing from noon to 2 PM at Rice University’s TunaFest 2010. Due to rain, the event has been moved indoors to the Rice Memorial Center’s Grand Hall. Bring the kids! There will be great food, face painting, St. Arnold’s beer, and of course, BLAGGARDS!

It’s official, the live album is finished and has entered print production. We’ll post an ETA soon.

Meanwhile, we’re having a killer time out here on the road! Our night at the Rochester Jazz Festival was amazing. Terrific, standing-room only audiences for both of our sets at the Abilene’s huge festival tent. We’ve played lots of festivals in our day, but we’ve never seen anything like that before.

“Flogging Molly with six-shooters and a bottle,” says Frank De Blase of the Rochester City Newspaper. Cheers, Frank!

Also had a GREAT time playing at the Sportsmen’s Tavern in Buffalo, where we met the coolest bunch of people (and ate the greatest food). Can’t wait to get back up and play there again.

And oh yes, we WILL go back to Rockville. Thursday we return to the one and only ROCKville, Maryland, to play Concert in the Square, 6 PM.
