This week in 8SR land:

We had a couple of weeks off and are itching to play for you.
 This Saturday we return to our favorite spot on the Tacoma waterfront
ROCK THE DOCK!!!  With great food and strong drinks, and a deck that will welcome your well behaved dog.  It is always a blast here.  Here we are in Womens Month.  Come support this woman owned business.  Music goes from 8-11.  
 

Programming note.  Black Diamond Eagles  Resumed the Sunday dance series.  We are scheduled for the first Sunday of each month(unless noted) And our dance band buddies SUNDANCE will play the other scheduled sundays.    Dance time will be 5-8
There will be a cover to pay the band and ensure the future of these dances.

Put us in your favorites and pull us right up.  We are adding dates all the time and the calendar is constantly evolving.  Book a bbq with us!  ps. you cook!  

8 SECOND ROCKS!!!  Also!!!
If you know of a venue that needs country music new or old or even oldies rock, let us know & let them know about us bands.  As you may have noticed the club market for live country bands is tight & all the musicians appreciate your support.
And if you want a live band for your birthday party, BBQ, wedding or just for the heck of it, call the bands. Prices vary & live music makes for a great time!
Do remember that EAGLES, ELKS and the other Fraternal lodges need to have you sign in if you are not a member.  If you frequent these places please consider membership.  They all do great charity work, support scholarships and work closely with local causes.  They do have limits on signing folks in (by law) and may have to refuse entry after a number of visits.   Membership is not usually expensive and your membership helps support them.  Participation in things are by choice and will not be forced upon folks.  Support them as they book your live dance music, host karaoke, host DJ nites, shows, bingo and put on dinners.   You will meet new friends!!                  
Do good things --join them!!!


      COME GET YER DANCE ON!!!!!
