Dave Weld on their recent standout show at the FARGO BLUES FEST: “Wonderful gig, we had a smashing set!! I got to walk the audience with the Imperial Can and the sound production was great. Brad, the promoter, owner of the Redbirds baseball team, knows who to hire and why and he treats performers righteous! One top of that we saw friends haven’t seen in years and spent an hour eating ribs with Bobby Rush, our old recording partner. This is why we work.”
