RANGER REPORT - July 1st (Canada Day) 2014

MIGHTY MANATEES SOUND BETTER! - Thanks to the hard work of our own in-house acoustical engineer Karl "K-Jo" Frick and the generosity of lifetime Mighty Manatees friend and supporter Todd Fritsche, the band has an entirely new sound system! This upgraded state-of-the-art p.a. includes new speakers which reproduce the music much better. Nowhere was this more apparent than at our recent Upper Salford Park outdoor concert last Sunday night. The tones were rich and the sound was warm! Special thanks to the mighty Todd. Now if we could just learn that Steel Pulse tune you requested 2 years ago...

DA VINCI'S DATE! - This Wednesday night, July 2nd, the electric power trio returns to Da Vinci's in Collegeville as part of our "First Wednesday Of The Month" series with the club. Showtime is 8:30 - 11:30PM. www.davincispub.com

"4TH OF JULY EVE" SHOW AT RISING SUN! - After the overwhelming response to "The Return Of Randy" at the Rising Sun two weeks ago, he will return again this Thursday night, July 3rd. This show also features Tom Musselman on percussion and special guests. Showtime is 9 - 1AM. Fireworks optional.

MIGHTY DEBUT! - This Saturday, July 5th, the power trio will make their world debut at Debbie's Place in Warminster, PA. Showtime is 9PM

FREE FITZWATER STATION OUTDOOR ALL-AGES SHOW THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON! - Need we say more? Showtime is 3 - 7PM.

DOUG WILSON'S LATEST MIGHTY MANATEES ARTWORK! - And speaking of the Fitzwater Station, the last time we played there, Mighty Manatees artist Doug Wilson unveiled his latest creation: a giant black canvas backdrop with a hand-painted rendering of our multi-colored album cover/logo. It is a stunning piece of work that is applauded by all who see it. Doug's last work for us was his Manatees re-working of the Philadelphia Phillies logo which we use as a rear-projection image at all of our theater shows. Mighty fine work, Doug!
