Fall got off to a great start with the 7th annual FUSE Fest. Our set was at Peeve’s Public House on Fresno’s historic downtown Fulton Mall. It was a terrific evening as we shared the stage with Brian Kenney Fresno, The Long Black Veils, Department Store, and Llama Boy. After a few very trying weeks, the month was turned around; the music was uplifting and healing and a blast. Great to hear our new friend Barbara Anderson-Jones and her flute join us for a full-set, and even our zany pals in Dept. Store leaped up to help on “Ross Used to Play Us His Frank Zappa Records”. A splendid time!
