RANGER REPORT - Feb. 23, 2012

The Mighty Manatees recently returned from a magical tour of Ireland where we opened for Van Morrison (backing his daughter Shana) in Belfast and Dublin and also played a handful of authentic Irish pubs. When we got back we landed on the front page of the Norristown Times Herald. To see the article click here:

Tonight we play The Rising Sun in Telford, PA w/ Brett Andrew (Robert Randolph Band) on bass, Kathleen Weber (David Bromberg Band) on vocals and melodica, Jim Cavanaugh on drums and Andrew Geltzer on keys. Showtime is 9:00-ish.

Tomorrow night we play Screwballs in King Of Prussia, PA with the five man electrical band www.screwballsbarandgrille.com Showtime is 9:30

My son Wyatt recently made a video called "Balance Out Of Life" which received over 100,000 hits on Youtube and landed him in the Huffington Post. To read and watch, click here:
