The Boat May Rock? The Boat DID Rock!!

This weekend we played a private party at a Yacht club in Kemah, TX.

We showed up on time and were ready to play within one minute of our contracted start time. (always cutting it close) It was an outside gig and super hot. Not knowing what to expect, we dove into the set and started with Penny Fortune. (About a 7 min version).

Looking out across the lawn we saw groups of people eating and drinking. There was one awesome theme, they ALL HAD MULLETS! Wigs for sure, but a mullet party? WOW!! Funny none the less.

Much to our surprise the crowd was very receptive and the dancing started. We played a solid two hour set that wrapped up with a stage full of ladies singing "The Boat May Rock", as well as Come Together. Because of the Mullet Spirit taking control over me, I led us into a rocking Sweet Home Alabama which was sung by one of the guys at the party.

We tried to wrap it up after that climax and the crowd wouldn't let us sit down. They all cheered for one more and we ended the set with Lullaby. It was a great night.
