Weekly Update
This weekend’s gigs are private but the big news for us is that we’re singing the National Anthem at Shea Stadium on Sunday, September 14, prior to the 1:05 PM game between the Mets and the Atlanta Braves. This will be the sixth and the final — Shea is being torn down after the season — time we’ve had this honor. They’ve never televised the performance the previous five times, preferring to show a commercial instead, but perhaps the sixth time will be the charm. The game is on the WB-11.
Our next “regular” date will be on Friday, September 19, when we try to get one in at Hudson & McCoy, 340 Woodcleft Avenue, Freeport without a tropical storm getting in the way. We’ll start at 7 and play until 11.
Then on Sunday September 21st we move back out east to play what is scheduled to be our final date of the year at Claudio’s, 111 Main Street, Greenport. This is the weekend of Greenport’s Maritime Festival, the streets are closed to automobile traffic and the shopkeepers sell their wares on the sidewalk. We start at 1:30 and play until 5:30.
Have a great week.
