I was keeping this one under the hat, but since it's a few days away and definite plans are being made I'll let it out now:
I'm hitting the road with Sucré!
This wonderful trio asked me to do horn stuff for a few shows on their tour. This is very very very exciting. I think it may be worth mentioning that this will be a new experience for me. Certainly I have done live, non-classical shows. But never before have I done three in a row - and traveled in between to get to each one! [boy, does that make me sound like a goof or what?]
As the plan currently stands, I'll gather with them in Houston on Sunday, play with them in Austin Monday night, and then head right back up to Dallas for a Tuesday night show at Club Dada. I'm pretty excited for these upcoming performances and to have a chance to hang out with my wonderful musical friends Jeremy, Stacy, and Darren again.
You all probably don't have any idea how hard these three are working to make Sucré and this tour happen. This is just like any new business endeavor: not the most easy climb to make. However, they are determined! (But I really don't think they will be disappointed with the reception they'll get. They've each got the fans, and the music is good stuff.)
Therefore, if you've enjoyed A Minor Bird and are free the night they're in your town, I'd encourage you to trek out for the show. You may be witnessing a good (and definitely fleeting) point in the big histories of these people!
Here are the dates that I've clipped from Sucré's website:
But for more specific information, you'll have to check out the site for yourself.
For the few days I'm on the road I'll try to blog along the way. Last time I was working with these people, I was very reserved with documenting stuff about the experience - since it was the first time I had ever met any of them. But hopefully they will be ok with me taking a few snaps here and there.
Hope to see you at a show!
