On Practicing Guitar

Spring is in the air and Saints and Sinners will be making our first appearance at The Groove in Greenwich Village on Tuesday, April 23^rd at 7:30 pm. We’ve been working hard uptown at The Shrine and we’re excited to bring the music downtown to all our fans in the area. We’ve got some new songs to play for you and we’re psyched for some warm weather and good times.

Now, let me tell you why Tuesday night is the perfect night to go out. Friday night is a must of course, a kind of workingman’s let off the steam sort of thing. Saturday night is strictly amateur night, but alas, it’s on the calendar. Sunday is of course a great day to get a little indulgent but really – try to keep it in check. Maybe a home cooked meal with some fine wine. Monday night on the other hand is strictly staying in time – get a life! But by Tuesday, you’re raring to go. Chomping at the bit. This is the night that the professional celebrants let it loose.

Why, when I was in the music conservatory, we used to have orchestra concerts every so often. And they were, you guessed it – on Tuesday night. There would always be a party afterwards, which I relished. One time, there was this quite popular kid, a violinist, and he showed up for ear training class the next day still in his tuxedo from the night before! I was impressed. I mean, it’s nothing to stay out all night on a Tuesday, but to do it in a tuxedo? Come on! And ear training class was hard – the teacher was a sadist. This kid had a great ear though, I must admit. But so do you!

And that’s why you’re coming to The Groove Club on April 23^rd! The Groove Club is located at 125 West MacDougal Street at the corner of West 3^rd Street. There is a $5 cover and a two item minimum. Food, drinks, and funk are served.

Saints and Sinners: Christian Botta – Guitar/Vocals, Mike Rodbard – Drums/Vocals, Dave Gerstein – Bass

We want to thank everybody who came to The Bitter End on February 15^th. It was a great night and we have a return engagement there on July 12^th at 8pm. See below some video from the performance.

In other news we will be hitting American Trash on Saturday night, June 22nd playing from 9:30pm to well after midnight. We also have a couple of shows lined up at The Shrine on April 30^th and May 14^th, both at 10pm. See ya soon! –A Sinner
