Effects Bay Meet Up – Magpies Tour?

I always think it’s cool running into readers of Effects Bay on the street. Conversations always lead to our common interest in gear or general love of all things guitar related! Well, I’m going to be on the road for a short little tour of the Midwest (7 days) playing guitar in the band Magpies hailing from Missoula, MT. It’s amazing, this is my 4th year with the Magpies, and absolutely love rocking with these guys!

Our tour was schedule around a great event in Chicago, IL called the PRF BBQ. This is a great indie festival/event spanning multiple days across multiple venues. We played in the 2014 PRF and it was amazing, and are super excited to be heading there again! If you haven’t checked out PRF, I would highly, highly recommend it!!

I wanted to post the tour schedule and if you wanted to stop in and say ‘Hi’ that would be sweet!

6/20-Billings,MT– The Railyard (with JEMS, Snow Bored and Kid Named King)
6/21-Minneapolis,MN– The Hexagon (with Cold Pillow, The Retakes and Heart to Gold)
6/22-Iowa City,IA– Yacht Club (with WhiteWather Ramble and Flash in a Pan)
6/24-Chicago,IL– PRFBBQ2016
6/25-Milwaukee,WI– Riverwest Public House Cooperative (with Mark Adams Son of Bill and The Atomic Spins)

Anyway, if you’re in the area and are going out for the evening, stop by and say ‘Hi’! I’ll also be handing out some discount codes for Rattlesnake Cables to any readers that I run into!

Thanks everyone!

Also, I wanted to request the opposite, if you’re in a band and coming through Missoula, Montana.. please let me know! I would love to check out what you have going on.
