Fresh off a great gig at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, Rebecca and the Grey Notes will perform this Friday, April 10, at Tally’s Tap & Eatery, S31-W24661 Sunset Drive, on Waukesha’ south side. The first chord will be struck at 8:30 p.m. As is the case with all of our shows, this is a FREE show. We will be playing five original songs along with our solid lineup of covers and other new material as we revamp our set lists. You can hear the full version of one of our originals, “You Belong to Me,” in the Media portion of this webpage. Hope to see you there.
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us on Friday, March 27, at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino’s Fire Pit Side Bar. Many in attendance were there way past their bed time, so we certainly appreciate your loyalty! Also for the first time we played live versions of three new original songs that will be on our forthcoming EP. Thanks to Potawatomi for inviting us to play.
We have just posted the first of our original songs recorded last month at Third Ward Records. Go to the Media portion of this website and listen to “You Belong to Me.” We will be posting more songs from our recording session soon, and we hope to have the EP ready for distribution by early summer.
Members of Rebecca and the Grey Notes are in rehearsals for our first gig of 2015 – 9 p.m. March 27 at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino’s Fire Pit Side Bar. The Side Bar is a great place to watch a live concert, with a convenient and well-stocked bar, great acoustics and, just feet away, 3,500 slot machines. We will be playing three new original songs, which we recorded along with two other originals and one cover song last month at Third Ward Records. We hope to release those six songs sometime this summer. Looking forward to seeing you Friday, March 27.
We were very fortunate to have played six shows last year at Tally’s Tap & Eatery on Waukesha’s south side, and this year we’ll be returning to the establishment that gave us our first gig. We have shows scheduled at Tally’s on Friday, April 10, and Friday, May 29. Both shows will begin at 8:30 p.m. Tally’s is at S31-W24661 Sunset Drive, Waukesha. We hope to see you there.
