Appendix E-J

Look at this man:

That is Josh Dillard. Do you remember him? He’s a long-time friend of Everyday Joe’s. He’s playing tonight to help ring in 2009. The last year of the first decade. How ’bout it?

Josh has a lot of new songs up his sleeve and a new album in the works. Below is probably the most upbeat song he’s ever written. It’ll cause you to shake what your mamma gave you. Please enjoy “Dandelion Clocks” and then we’ll see you tonight.

2008 was a DOOZY…let me tell you. Full of some things I’d like not to revisit and other things I still can’t quite comprehend but were wonderful all the same. Great shows. Good people. Nice times.

The questions is, how do we celebrate the end of ott-eight? Well, with a concert of course. A concert that is free to attend. A concert with a line-up that should never be challenged to a fight, because you’ll just end up being hugged a lot.

Josh Dillard is back from Florida visiting family and will take time to say how-do-you-do from the Everyday Joe’s stage. The Riflemen are ending their all-to-short existence as a band, and Dec. 31 will be their last show. Paean is Fort Collins’ favorite musical collective and they are still figuring out how to pronounce their name…but their music is enough to tap a foot to.

The night will surely be grand. See you then. Poster below.

The Everyday Joe’s musical community doesn’t ever cease to amaze me.

Four of our good friends -- Aaron Strumpel, Josh Dillard, Dave Wilton (aboyandhiskite), and Phillip Waggoner (The Riflemen) -- got together at Dave’s house and made a nice little video for all of you. Part of what makes it so fantastic could be the fact that Dave, his wife Ally, and their daughter Nora live in an old, renovated Catholic church.

Enjoy the video/song, and we’ll talk to you soon.

Merry Christmas!

love.
Everyday Joe’s

In 2007, Eveyday Joe’s decided to give away a digital-only release compilation CD. That album – Love, Everyday Joe’s – Vol. 1: No More Gloom - was well received by all you wonderful people. It was so well received, in fact, that we’ve decided to do it again.

Enter Love, Everyday Joe’s- Vol. 2: …and a little child will lead them

20 of our favorite musicians have donated songs for your listening enjoyment and overall betterment of being. The album is our Christmas gift to you. We love you very much. Download it, burn it, give it to friends. Cover art is available for all those DIY fiends out there. Click the image below to be taken to the download page.

The Everyday Joe’s 90/10 Benefit is tomorrow. This is very exciting and is cause for whoops and hollers and loud rejoicing.

In case you haven’t been paying attention over the past month and have no idea what this so-called “benefit” has to do with “anything,” we’ve put together a nice cheat sheet for you. This way, you will have some idea of what is going on Saturday at Everyday Joe’s, why it matters, and why you’d be declared clinically loony if you missed it. Here we go:

First, read the initial announcement concerning this year’s 90/10 Benefit by clicking the poster below:

Now, read the following concerning the whole “90/10″ thing:

Dan Craig

The Riflemen

Aaron Espe

Lifeboat Etiquette

See how pleasant and great that was? Now, imagine if you were seeing all those folks play on the same night at Everyday Joe’s. Your head may very well explode. Well, lucky for you, they’re all playing this Saturday…and I can promise minimal head explosion but nothing concerning the expected elation of your heart.

Tickets are still available and are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Buy them at Everyday Joe’s (144 S. Mason, Fort Collins) or online by clicking here.

See you tomorrow.

love.

The 2008 Everyday Joe’s 90/10 Benefit is just a few days away! The annual show to benefit Everyday Joe’s will feature Dan Craig, The Riflemen, Aaron Espe, and LIfeboat Etiquette. Over the past few weeks, we’ve introduced you to these fine musicians one by one. It has been so very great and we have one more to go. This week: Dan Craig.

The operation of a non-profit coffee house and concert venue is a grand journey. Along the journey, it isn’t uncommon to stumble upon wonderful treausers, ungaurded by any sort of fantastical creature. These treasures may include nice people, amusing trinkets, delicious things. In May, the treasure was Dan Craig. I’d even say he’s a diamond. Not just musically, but as a kind fellow and as a scholar of facial hair.

Look at this moustache:

Now, look at what the moustache has become:

Sweet Charlton Heston that is gorgeous. I’m not sure if the growth of Mr. Craig’s facial follicles is some sort of gauge for the current level of his musical prowess, but if it is, my guess is none of us will ever listen to any other sound after Saturday night…because it would simply sound horrid in comparison to this bearded wonder.

Perhaps you need a bit more persuasion? Have a listen:

First, an Audio Treat that Dan has offered up to us before.

“Further To Fall”

Now, go ahead and try “No Rain Tonight” on for size. It’s a pleasant diddy.

Well then. I think over the past 4 weeks we’ve educated you quite well in the ways of fine music. The only way to top these times is by showing your lovely face at the 2008 Everyday Joe’s 90/10 Benefit, taking place this Saturday (Dec. 6) at Everyday Joe’s (144 S. Mason, Ft. Collins) at 6:30 pm. Tickets are still available and are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. You can get them at the shop or online at www.everydayjoes.org.

We do look forward to seeing you. I’ll save you a seat.

The recurring theme around Everyday Joe’s and in my life this year seems to be transition and people moving on and new people showing up and so on and so forth.

Today, one of our favorite bands – Sleeping At Last – made this announcement concerning drummer Chad O’Neal:

Hello Everyone,

We hope that each of you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with family, friends and incredible food!
(the best combination!)

Unfortunately, today we are writing to you with some very, very sad news for us here in the Sleeping At Last
camp. After much careful thought, time and consideration – our drummer Chad O’Neal has made the decision to move on from Sleeping At Last to pursue his other interests in life. As we all already know, Chad is such an amazing and gifted drummer and although we are extremely sad to see him go, we know that he will succeed in anything and everything he pursues. We would like to thank him so much for all of the incredible contributions he has made to this band and our music. We love him so much and we feel so completely honored and privileged to have shared the past many years with him as our drummer, web-master, computer guru, amazing chef, halo warrior, and most importantly, our brother and friend.

Chad will still play drums on a few songs on our upcoming album, so we’re very excited for that! Again, we
are so thankful for everything that he has done for Sleeping At Last and feel so honored and blessed to have
shared so many incredible memories and experiences together. For those of you that wish to contact him, say hello and/or keep in touch, here’s a link to his Facebook page:

Love, Sleeping At Last

So, this appears to be somewhat of a bummer. All the guys from Sleeping At Last are some of the nicest you will ever meet, and so is their mom. There comes a time for everything to reset and new things to grow and flower. That may sound like it is full of cheese, and it is. But it is also the truth.

Chad- Everyday Joe’s is excited to see what you do next…perhaps move to Colorado? It’s awful nice out here. We love you.
