Bikes, Blues, and BBQ day 1 (by Travis)

Well, day 1 of Bikes, Blues, and BBQ has been completed. Bikes, Blues, and BBQ is the second largest bike rally in the world, second only to Sturgis. over 300,000 people come in from out of town each year. Which is actually 5 or 6 times the population of the actual city of Fayetteville.

The Nick Nolte's were the first performers of the day. We played for vendors and the sound guys. Quite interesting... For those of you who are curious who the Nick Nolte's are, it is Chad and I playing all cover songs that are requested from people in the crowd. It goes over best in a bar/club atmosphere with people close to the stage. Here is the downside to yesterday's show...It was not in a bar/club atmosphere, nobody really requested anything, and the closest person was the guy selling corn dogs the size of an infant.

It's all in good fun though, the stage was definitely the largest the Nick Nolte's have ever played on. Here is some fun pictures taken...

Notice the row of Johnny on the Spots in the background...



I am going to try and keep you guy's informed on a day to day basis for Bikes Blues this year. The other days will be better, I will have my camera with me at all times to document. See ya tomorrow.
