So many good vibes and excellent musicianship at Montrose Saloon last Sat July 18 when we shared the stage with our new friends! Silver Creek Revival and Blinker Fluid from Traverse City, Michigan as well as Chicago's beloved Terry White with Rob from Friendly's on drums. Such sweet sweet sounds. Thank you to so many dear friends who came out to share the delicious vibes and the rocking! We love you and appreciate your presence and your presents.
Oh and it's a little tricky to take photos of one's own band when we are playing so if you have a photo or video of Mrs. Smith and The Present, besides the one I took from Silver Creek's post, please share.
