November 17th - Maddock People at the Garage Bar

The time has come to start working on promoting our November 17th show at the Garage Bar. This is a pretty easy/fun task this time around, because we actually get to present a little something that we've talked about for a long time.

As I've mentioned in a previous post, bassist Dave Stensland and I (Travis Woyen) grew up in the same area and graduated from Maddock Public School. As one might imagine, we're not the only musicians to come out of there.

Phoenix Rising has really gotten rolling over the past couple years, playing mostly north of here. They've released a debut album, "Revelations", and if I do say so myself there are some pretty great tunes on there. Former Valhalla singer Warren Weston is handling the vocals. Tony Brandvold and Zach Eyl, both of Maddock, handle lead guitar and drums.

You may have heard Sex Knuckle with us at Rick's, or at a lot of other places around town. As I've mentioned before, Chris Ellingson is from Maddock, and singer Samantha Bennefeld is from just down the road (New Rockford). It's also a little-known fact that drummer TR is an honorary member of Rule 17.

So, come on out to the Garage Bar on Saturday, November 17th. You won't be disappointed.
