May 2008

May as Many of you know was a very busy month for us here at Iron Horse! We played some really great places and had some experiences to last a life time. As may winds down you can find us busy busy writing some new music that we plan to bedut at our Salida Show in June if all goes well.

June will be a slower month for us giving us ample time to tighten up our new stuff add a few more covers to our list and reorganize for the busy summer schedule we face.

To all our old and new fans we would like to say we appreciate your support and home to continue to give you the power driven show that you have become acustom too. See ya out there in June!!



April 2008 (SPRING IS DELAYED!!!)

Okay so other than spring being delayed and more snow falling in northern Minnesota than they received all year. April for us was just as busy as the weather, but on a more predictable scale.

We began the month at The Fine Line and to all the musicians out there, if you have never had the experience of playing there try to do so. It is a life time experience. We joined two very talented bands (The Buzzard Brothers and Thirteen 45) that night and had a great time.

Then off to the historic Half Time Rec, this venue recently converted over to an all country establishment and although we had to compete with The Wild that night (YES! they won) we had a lot of fun and met some truly wonderful people. We look forward to going back in May.

Off to Breezy Point and our next stop at The Commander. Wow what a weekend!! A mini vacation, a lot of fun and some great friends. The Commander was a great venue, the crowd lively and the town a true gem. They have some truly amazing stores to browse through, some fun and challenging putt-putt golf courses and over all a beautiful scenic place just to visit.

On we go to a weekend at the South Saint Paul VFW. Despite the rain/snow/whatever you want to call it. It sure didn't slow down the crowd from coming out both nights and having a great time. Truly our hats off to the frequent patron's of the South St. Paul VFW not only are you the greatest you sure know how to make a band feel welcome and loved. We can't wait to see you all in July!

The last weekend of April brings us to The Two Stooges Sports Bar and Grill. This is a predominate billiards venue that recently decided to add music to their establishment. This place is designed for music, they have a wonderfully large room, a great stage and dance floor and lets not forget the room's acoustics..... The staff are friendly and inviting and the owner Greg is a great guy to work with. We truly hope to be invited back and that they decide to continue the foray into the music industry.

Now as we raise our hands to shield our eyes from the bright future of May and the very busy schedule we will enjoy. We do so with a positive attitude and a determined spirit. While May will have us playing all over Minnesota, we look forward to visiting venues we have played in the past and new venues we will be visiting for the first time. We hope as always that you can make it out to the shows and that you enjoy the music we do, as all of it comes from a deep seated passion to entertain and inspire. Until then be safe, have fun and listen to music!!





SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!! March 2008

Well the month of March is quickly becoming April and the year is off to a fast but furious pace. Iron Horse is steadily adding new dates to their growing calendar thanks to the great team at The Music Works. There are some exciting shows coming up rather quickly as the year has decided to fly by and summer approaches bringing some great outdoor events. As the band is known to say "It only gets better from here!"

Looking back over the last year, or more so the last few months the band it's self has experienced such growth and popularity. So many things have occurred in such short amounts of time, that it is positively mind boggling. Iron Horse is quite frankly climbing the proverbial music scene latter.

Stay tuned for more news to follow "soon" as the band contemplates the addition of a new member, updated song list, new originals and of course new dates added to the calendar!
