Viva Las Vegas!

Last week we performed 5 shows in 5 days in Sin City. We had a great time in Vegas, as always, and are so thankful to be able to work there. We spent the majority of our time performing in the new Palazzo Casino connected to the Venetian. We performed in conjunction with the #1 show is Vegas, 'Jersey Boys.' It's a beautiful room in a gorgeous casino with a very fun, respectful audience.

On our off time, we saw a few friends, relaxed, and, of course, perused the famous Las Vegas Strip. As usual, I forgot our camera (our friends of La Vie Photography would be so disappointed). So below are the few shots that turned out from my iPhone:

In front of my favorite casino, The Paris.


Jeff is always so excited for me to take his picture.

Me in front of the Palazzo casino (these are beginning to get redundant).


Yes, we do see the light of day! The is the 'garden' inside of the Venetian Casino...right before we had some of the best crepes since Paris!


I've also discovered my next career path. There is a genius company that I am going to join. It's called Yogurtland. This is my new favorite thing about going to Vegas. There is nothing like this wonderful place here in Seattle. It is a self-serve frozen yogurt boutique that is so good it was hard for me not to go everyday. Here is a photo of my heaven:



Thanks to everyone in Vegas. We didn't have time to see everyone or do everything we'd like...but that's just more motivation to go back soon!

Overdue Update

It's time for a much overdue update here! We have been nice and busy with some very exciting events. Since our last post we went from Mexico to Canada...and everywhere inbetween. Here are a few of the events we have performed at this last month:

Kamloops, BC

In the beginning of March, we performed for the World Masters Championships at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC. The event was for athletes from all over the world, ages 30-90. The athletes had been competing all week and they joined us for the final night party. We had such a great time with everyone and felt right at home with the international audience. British Columbia is absolutely stunning and Kamloops was no exception:


Thank you to everyone at Thompson Rivers University for all your help. We look forward to coming back soon!

Experience Music Project:

We had our first event at the Experience Music Project (EMP) here in Seattle....it's about time! We performed for the Microsoft Global HR conference for a St. Patrick's Day party. It was another international crowd of 900 attendees. It was an honor to perform on the same stage that just two days before Heart had rocked on. Here is a photo of the outside of the EMP:


TwinStar Credit Union Event:

In March we did our first ever breakfast event. That's right....breakfast. We were up on the stage performing our hearts out before we've normally had our first cup of coffee. At first we were a bit hesitant about doing a show in the A.M. but we had an AMAZING time. It was TwinStar Credit Union's annual member's event. I can't tell you enough how wonderful it was! Plus, it was great to be finished with the entire day ahead of us...before lunch. Thanks to Paulette and the gang at TwinStar!


Whitman College:

Last week we performed our second year in a row for the students at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA. The campus is beautiful:


Once again, we were amazed by the student's song knowledge! These 18-22 year olds knew all the words to songs like Benny and the Jets, Old Time Rock 'n Roll and, of course, Don't Stop Believing. Thank you to Guitar Hero and the show 'Glee' for educating this next generation of the great music of the 60's - 80's. We will come back every year to perform for these smart, well-rounded students!

Vegas Baby!

We worked a week in Vegas last month and are heading there again next week. It's always fun to play in the circuit of casinos down there...and to see our friends who live there. Spring break was in full force last time we were there so it was nice and busy. We are looking forward to heading back soon!

So that's a short update of what's been going on the last month. It's been busy, but so much fun. Thanks for stopping by!
