Gadzukes! at the Jamestown Mercantile


Interesting gig. The tiny mountain town of Jamestown, Colorado is a throwback. Pot smell filled the air. Lots of big dogs wandering in and out. Abundant dreadlocks. But also well-dressed people with nice homes in the hills. It's kind of hippie/kind of 1980.

Our host, Rainbow (I don't make this stuff up, folks,) was really nice and although we were billed for most of the week as Gadzucky (wtf? Rainbow said someone asked her if we were Russian,) the sign was changed by the time we got there. It kind of seemed like no one was paying attention at the beginning, but the crowd warmed up, people danced and there was a full tip jar by the time we finished. We played pretty well despite being squeezed into a small space with a marginal PA. Got lots of nice comments from folks and invitation to come back.

By the way, the stars at night up in secluded Jamestown were worth the drive.

Fun show. Sounds like the dancing picked up after I left. And hey, nice photo!

That sounds awesome! I wish I could have gone!

I've always liked Jamestown. Definitely funky, but cool.

Gadzucky.

That'll be the name of my Gadzukes cover band.

Rainbow will be our lead singer.
