FRIDAY JUNE 2nd - STARLIGHT GIG!

Hey friends, family and fans of the Michael Waido Band!

This Friday, June 2nd, the Starlight presents the Michael Waido Band and Jason Vigil!

We're super excited to play, and the thing that makes it especially fun for us is we're playing with my dad, Jack, sitting in on electric bass! We're planning on rocking the house, and keeping up all set long, so come see some of our new stuff and some of our old with a new addition.

Doors open at 8:00, show starts at 9:00, with the opener Zach Nichols. We're on at 10:00 and then Jason Vigil will start around 11:30.

Cost is $5, which is a great price for the three bands, and it's an all ages show! So tell everyone you know, we hope to pack the place!

See you Friday,
Dave

Recap of Avo's show

Hey guys!
So I've been so busy with music and other things going on that I haven't been able to write any new entries!
Our last gig was at Avogadro's Number here in Fort Collins with folk guitarist Rachel Sedacca. Two days before our gig we learned that we weren't exactly opening for her, but she had wanted us to play with her! So we got together Tuesday evening and practiced a little... maybe two or three songs... and then it was time for the gig!

We started the show with about an hour set, and then Rachel came up and did some of her solo stuff, which was really good. After that she took a break and we came up with her and did about six or seven songs and had a really fun time. I was having fun because I got to play a lot of harmonica and piano - Billy Joel style - and Waido got to bang on the djembe for a few songs. We even got one of my buddies from the audience to come up on shaker for a song - props to you Tim!

Overall it was a great night, a lot of fun and we were able to have a new experience and meet a great new musician, which is really what makes playing different gigs fun.

Anyway, thanks to those of you who came out to see us, and make sure you all check us out this coming Friday at our Starlight gig with Jason Vigil!

Thursday May 18th - Michael Waido Band and Rachel Sedacca

Hey everybody!

Check your calendars and cancel anything that you might have going on this Thursday evening, because the Michael Waido Band is playing our first show at Avogadro's Number here in Fort Collins!

The show starts at 8:00 and we will be opening up for California based acoustic folk guitarist Rachel Sedacca (as she stops in Fort Collins during her cross country tour). The cost is $5, and the show would be a bargain at twice the price. We'd love for you all to come out and show your support at our gig here in our home town.

Saturday, the band drives out to Omaha, NE to open up another show for Rachel Sedacca at Mick's Music and Bar. Another first for the Waido Band - playing a gig in a different state and going on a tour! (However short it may be) So if any of you know friends out in Omaha, tell them to come check us out at Mick's Music and Bar at 5918 Maple Street. The cost of the show is $5 and the music starts at 9:00.

Also wanted to give a quick shout out to those of you who came and saw Waido and I at Chug's Pub a couple weeks ago. Just a really chill show and we were able to have a lot of fun and do some different things. The management was really impressed with the music and also with the crowd we brought (thanks a bunch!) and so we will definitely be playing there again. I'll keep you posted on the details.

Until next time - have a great week and I hope you can make it out to our show this Thursday!
