A Weekend Off? Nice To Just...Be...For A Minute!

It's our first blog here on Patch. And, if you're not familiar with Patch, you will be. Almost every town has one and, just like everything else in the digital age, it's more current than print. That's already old news!

So, what to blog about?

Enjoying the summer so far? We are! More shows this summer than any before and that's no small achievement!

But, this weekend ... we're off, by design. Every summer we take the third or fourth weekend off in July. Coming up in August, we have three shows every weekend but one, and that's not as many as some bands, but we don't have recorded backing tracks to help us out. It's all live, baby! And, of course, we all have Mon-Fri, 9-5 jobs, too! So, 11 shows in four weekends is a lot! It's a good thing that we love what we do and that our fans make it better than it should be and an experience that we're lucky to be able to enjoy 50 weekends a year. So, thanks to all of our faithful!

This is cool, too! Very soon, Hi Infidelity will have its own smartphone app (initially, just for iPhones) through which you can stream music, check our schedule, see our blog, and get our tweets and Facebook status. Pretty cool! We'll post it here and on our Facebook when it's available for download.

We, also, have a new CD, Hi Fi Live, recorded live in April 2011 available at our website and at all of our shows.

Here are our upcoming shows:

Fri, Aug 5 - Coon Creek Country Days in Hampshire, IL @ 9p
Sat, Aug 6 - Ballydoyle Irish Pub, 28 W New York St, Aurora, IL @ 10p
Sun, Aug 7 - Ottawa RiverFest, Main St, Ottawa, IL @ 6p
