@meggie

Mood Ring or the[sma]project are always willing to play, but unfortunately we're out of town that weekend.

@GMCaesar

Hmmm... I'll PM you. I think Americana would be great at 4th of July.

Tori Erstwhile & The Montys

@kmk: I met Tori at Story Slam. She is awesome! However, we already made our choice, and it appears that The Wild Shots WILL play with More Tequila at this fundraiser. They ARE Americana, they are fun, More Tequila is fun, and the names certainly complement each other! ;-)

@noo2wood and kmk: I am always doing something. Sometimes 2 fundraisers a summer. I would love to see Mood Ring or the (sma)project, and/or Tori Erstwhile and The Montys play for one of them in the near future! Thanks for thinking of us!

I will update our Save the Date Poster and get it on MOL soon. So excited!

Just to add to the list -- Tycoon Dog is a very eclectic band that plays locally and has Maplewood residents as members. (Disclaimer - I am the bandleader.) You can learn more at www.tycoondog.com or www.facebook.com/TycoonDog.

Tycoon Dog puts on 15-25 free concerts throughout the NNJ/NYC area each year, including 3-5 shows in Maplewood Memorial Park. We'll be playing there on Sun 4/26 and other dates as shown below.

Hope your event turns out great!

ETA - I see that Scott posted at the same time I did and, for some reason, the link I posted doesn't show up here (linkable or otherwise.)
