Hey, everyone. Well, we’ve slowly been recovering from St. Pat’s Day and hope you are too! We’re right back at the Coop in Campbell this Saturday so get on down there. Show starts at 8:30.
Hello, faithful fans of Redwood. There’s this guy named Matt, Goatee, tall, comes to most every show. Anyway, Matt is a whiz with a camera and Final Cut and was kind enough to produce two videos for us of a recent live show. He runs a production company called Brilliant Monkey. The website has new video page where you can check them out, or if you’re a YouTube aficionado, you can subscribe to our YouTube Channel. Enjoy!
Hello, dedicated fans of Redwood. As the holidays fast approach and winter sets in we’d like to take a moment to thank you for a wonderful year! We were lucky to play a whole bunch of shows. The friendships in the band have never been stronger and we look forward to all 2010 has to offer. Thank you for always coming out to see us and supporting live music. We won’t be back until after the new year, but plan on using our time wisely in the studio. If you attended any of the more recent shows you would have heard new arrangements on several of our originals. While the process takes time, those tracks will eventually see the light of day on the new Redwood record. Stay tuned for a busy 2010 and happy holidays from Kit, Lauren, Roberto and Graham!
Hey, everyone. Kit here. Thought I’d update you on a few things. Number one, we will be in downtown Campbell Friday night for a gig at our regular spot at Sonoma Chicken Coop. Come on down, there’s no cover and it’s always a good crowd! Also, we’ve been recording and things are developing nicely. We are splitting our time between drum tracking and song development. Graham and his expert arrangement skills have taken my songs to a new level and I am very excited for the work our collaboration has produced. Stay tuned. The recording process will be long, but I promise a final product that will be great!
Well, I must say our gig on Friday night was wonderful. Sure, we sounded good (cough, cough), but the gig itself was great! Tim and Jason have been working very hard to make Smoke fresh and exciting. Clearly, they’ve been successful, because they had a wonderful group of new patrons that hung all night and rocked with us! Thanks to Tim and Jason for keeping live music alive in the Bay Area! And of course big Redwood thanks to all our regular rockers!
Jason and Tim picked up Smoke Tiki Lounge and are giving the place an all around make over. Check out the new website: SmokeTiki.com. We’ll be there on the 16th and hope you can join us to check it out!
We would like to take a minute to recognize the good people in this valley who are trying their hardest to keep local music alive in the south bay. Tom O’Hara and Chris Esparza have been promoting bands in this area for a good long time. Dan Doherty has long owned many a venue in the south bay and always makes the point to feature live music at all of his joints. Recently, Tim and Jason bought Smoke Tiki and are bringing live music back to downtown SJ one band and one evening at a time. Thanks to all those who support local live music.
Hey, everyone. Made some changes to the website. You can now listen to the mp3 player from any page. Enjoy! Let us know what you think.
The band had a couple of fun shows at Mission Ale House and the Sonoma Chicken Coop this past weekend. Mission was interesting. We had a good size crowd that started with a party of San Jose State Student Affairs folk. We were background music for the party, but a couple of attendees told us that our music was well liked. Personally, I think they didn’t have as many cocktails as one should when enjoying a beautiful night on Mission’s patio. Thank goodness we were rescued by a few regulars to Mission and Redwood shows. The Sonoma Chicken Coop was rockin’ all night. A couple of birthday parties, friends and regular patrons made this a fantastic gig for the band. I think there was a general vibe going on, as the manager is getting married on Maui this week. There was a good vibe all over the place. As a result I and guitarist Kit Bragg didn’t feel compelled to have quite as many cold beverages for the sheer sake of entertaining ourselves, as was the case at the previous night’s gig. The weekend was a reminder that downtown San Jose is struggling in the current economic climate. I personally believe that recent renovations to downtown Campbell have put the hurt on downtown San Jose. Coupled with Santana Row, people aren’t flocking to downtown San Jose. Poor planning? Perhaps. We’ll continue to support our friends at Mission Ale and Smoke Tiki, and hope that music listeners will eventually return en masse. Robonzo
We didn’t have any music published featuring our amazing rockers, Graham and Lauren. A six song demo is done and is posted to our booking page and media page. We featured 3 rock songs and 3 acoustic songs. Venues, we’ve got you covered. We can rock it out or keep it light. Enjoy!
