Hey everybody,

 

What a great summer…….we’ve been biz, biz, busy, but have more outdoor Summer Concerts coming up so come on out.  There’s bound to be a show near you……if you don’t ever leave San Francisco, then you can still see the Steve & Carmen Show at Enrico’s on Aug. 18^th  or come to the ultra-charming roadhouse Rancho Nicasio on Sept. 16^th for the full Rhumba Bums experience.

 

This month there are 3 special shows, “Crazy in Love with Patsy Cline”,  featuring Miss Carmen Getit, Lavay Smith, and New Orleans vocalist Ingrid Lucia (The Flying Neutrinos) performing their favorite Patsy Cline songs.   Also featured on these shows are pedal steel virtuoso Bobby Black, and country/jazz guitarist Jim Nichols (Jim is only at the Freight & Salvage Show on 8/11).   And all of this backed by pianist Chris Siebert, bassist/vocalist Steven Strauss, and drummer Darrell Green.  There’s an interesting article in the San Francisco Chronicle today, 8/10, about Ingrid and the Patsy Cline Shows (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/08/10/NSGDOIM4LB1.DTL), as well as articles in other Bay Area papers.

 

Other “big” news - Carmen Getit & Steve Lucky are expecting a baby in November!  They’ll be taking some time off from public shows.  Many have asked whether they want a boy or a girl, and they say they’re hoping for a drummer.  They’re taking suggestions for names…..Steve likes ‘Hambro’ if it’s a boy, and ‘Marvel’ if it’s a girl.  So Carmen says please, send your ideas!

 

Now stay tuned for our upcoming shows!:
