Rileigh and Raylee Angel Ride

This is by far one of our favorite shows to play. I have explained the Angel Ride before but I would suggest going to the website and reading about this event.http://www.angel-ride.com/ This is a picture of Rileigh and Raylee. They have really grown up and I think they just keep getting cuter. We have been a part of this event (on and off) for the last 4 years and I hope we continue to be a part of it.


So many folks come out and support this event. I think there were close to 10,000 people this year and we loved getting to perform for them.

It was a great stage and a great crowd. Then after we finished playing we got to hang out and watch...............



Gary Allan.... We have worked with so many acts throughout the year and I have to say he's cute in person and quite the singer. Great band.... Great show....Great night. Thanks Angel Ride. Can't wait to see you all again..... Tobi

Rockwell Automation and The Wildhorse Saloon










First of all, every band wants to play Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon. So when we were called for a private party of course we said yes.

Now honestly we thought, "Wow, the Wildhorse." But after we arrived, got ready for the show and hit the stage, well, let's just say that became secondary..........





This was a company from South America and it was 99.9% MEN....... Need I say More!!!!!






Oh Happy Day!!!!!!!!!







I have to say I can't wait until we tour South America

Point Clear Polo Foundation

Once again we get the opportunity to be a part of something special. The Point Clear Polo Foundation gave us the chance to play their Hall of Fame player's party which is a fundraiser for the USA Mitchell Cancer Institute and other local charities. I want to thank Dawn and Curtis Pilot for having us and treating us so well. It poured all day long and we thought we were going to get rained out, but at the last minute the skies cleared up and it was great. I have to say while we were waiting all day I had blast playing Dawn's dad and some friends in a few games of pool. I won't say who won........? So after the rain passed it was showtime and I just want to say thanks to everyone for dancing in the rain.

It was a great cause and the rain stopped no one. If you want to check out the foundation and maybe make a donation, check out their website. I think it's great that there are causes like this out there and thanks for letting us be a part of it. Tobi

Nebraska Cornhuskers!!!!!!!!!




Anyone who knows Lisa knows she is INSANE about Nebraska football. I'm talking 24/7 internet, radio or t.v. She follows recruiting and blogs and bleeds Cornhusker red. So this year after playing the Nebraska State Fair we devised a plan to get her some Husker memorabilia. So for a couple months I've been talking to Julie Burton and she pulled some strings and got something great for Lisa....


An autographed Jason Peters jersey. For those of you who don't know, Jason is from the National Championship Team, which Lisa had memorabilia from, but not a jersey. So thank goodness the day we gave her the jersey Nebraska had just beat Kansas. On behalf of the band I want to thank Jason Peters for taking the time to do this and Julie, you know you're the reason all of this happened. Thank you so much for doing this for Lisa................... She LOVED it. Tobi

Alexandria, LA Million Air


As a group we get to do some great things and we have so many experiences we get to share. This is something new for us. We played the grand opening of the Alexandria Million Air. This is an airport that specializes in private and military traffic.

Between the movie theater inside (they had Top Gun playing all night) and the fancy lobby, this is one of the nicest airports I have ever been in.

This party was a blast. We had a stage just outside the front door and it was cold out, but that didn't stop anything. The best way to warm up is to dance in the street---So everyone did! The owners of the airport and the General from the military base even made it to the stage to sing and dance.

This was so much fun and the airport is great. I hope we get the chance to fly in it some day soon. Thanks again for having us and we will see you in the skies.... Tobi








Athens, Georgia


Happy Halloween! Playing a Navy base for Halloween is a pretty good show. They had a huge B-B-Cue, contests for the kids and then they had contests between the Navy and Marines. The view from the bus was quite the show. They had tug-of-war (nice muscles) Then they had the contest where you put your head on the baseball bat and spin, then you have to run as fast as you can. Now that was funny. But I have to say this was the best contest to view from the bus.....
Push-ups..... Nice form. We had a great time and look forward to seeing you guys and girls again. Thanks for making us feel welcome and you take care of yourselves out there...... Tobi
