About 20 years ago I was a cocky little 16 year old that thought he knew how to play guitar. I can remember driving my parents crazy trying to learn how to play. Mostly because I thought it sounded better at higher volumes than the human ear could handle. I have long since figured out that wasn’t the case.
I can remember learning how to play some now classic songs such as Rock Me and Once Bitten Twice Shy by Great White. I played them over and over again for hours on end. I think my parents knew them as well as I did.
Fast forward to November 11, 2011 and I will be finally living a childhood dream that many don’t ever get to do. I will be sharing the main stage at Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt Pleasant, MI with one of my major musical influences,Great White!
I and the rest of my band are quite ecstatic over this show. But I am also very humbled that the production company, Mad Turtle Productions, and the casino are willing to give us a chance at playing with such a big name in the business. We will be getting a DVD of the performance and I am sure that it will be posted quite prominently here on UBSN, YouTube as well as our bands site. Which reminds me that I really should get around to building that.
I’m not sure whether I will get to do any interviews with the members of Great White or whether it is appropriate for me to ask. But I will try to get some with the other bands. I will even see about getting some songs from them to play on the show.
Here’s some of the details that I know of the event right now.
