My band playing the Gilroy (CA) Rodeo, August 8th

Post by David Wren »

My band, The Hill Country Truckers, will be playing the after rodeo dance on Friday August 8th. Gilroy is located on highway 101, south of San Jose.

If you come to the dance, come up and say "Howdy!" :)

Do you have any recordings you could share? I wish I could be there, but I can't.

Wow, big weekend, just got home.
After the Gilroy rodeo dance on Friday, my band did a unexpected show in Tracy last night.
What a joy it was meeting Ron, and his band mates (good band too, lots of classic country hits, and no dead air between songs),

Later in the evening, our band played the "after" dance..... such a warm reception.

Thanks for the kind words Ron! It was a fun time for sure.

I posted a shot of the crowd.... I think :-)
