The Delta Strummers May 2 concert at El Campanil Theatre in Antioch, CA is locked in, and the band is rehearsing hard at our weekly practice sessions. Our intent is to demonstrate the versatility of the ukulele and the wide range of genres that can be played on this instrument. There are currently 35 numbers on the slate, and these will be cut to 28 for the final playlist.
We've played here once in the past, but as a "support/featured act" in a Summerset Singers Christmas choral concert. This is the first time the band will have performed at their own full-up concert in a "pro" venue, and the first time many of the players will have performed at any public concert.
I re-joined weekly practice last evening, following a (my) long winter break. The band's performance on some numbers was almost mind blowing, and some numbers need a lot of work.
Looking at the theatre's web site, William Florian, founder and lead singer of the New Christy Minstrels, will perform on Feb 7th. He puts on a good solo act, and I'm going to buy tickets.
