Resonators playing at Kinky Friedman event!

Kinky Friedman will be bringing his campaign for governor to far west Texas in early September, and you can catch him, The Resonators, and others at The Railroad Blues on September 1st at 8:00 PM (link). This should be one of the fun events of the year and potentially could draw a big crowd. Hope to see you this coming Thursday!

New show added in October. Marfa Lights on Labor Day weekend!

The Resonators have added a new show on October 15th, performing for the Marathon 2 Marathon. We just wrapped up a gig in Marathon on August 15th and we had a great time. It'll be our pleasure to do it all again come October.

Make plans to come see us in Marfa for their 19th annual Marfa Lights Festival. We're playing both Saturday and Sunday (September 3rd and 4th) in the afternoon (exact time will be posted soon). Two different dates at the same festival! Catch both shows, 'cause they won't be the same.

Take care, everybody!

2nd Annual Big Bend Nature Festival

The Resonators will be providing entertainment Monday, August 15th at the 2nd Annual Big Bend Nature Festival (link), held at the Marathon Motel. Ought to be a fun evening. We'll probably add a little swing into the mix, so you may hear several new-old tunes from the 30's and 40's. We hope to see you there!

Here we go!

All right, everyone! It's time to get down at Railroad Blues. The Resonators will proceed to blow everyone away beginning promptly at 10:00 PM, Friday, August 12th, so get a table early. Of special interest will be Lucy's new tune, "Driven." If you know Lucy, then 'nuff said! See y'all then.

Thanks everyone for a great July 4th. See you August 12th!

The Independence Day Celebration in Alpine was fantastic. The Resonators put on another spirited show, the Alpine Community Band provided that unique touch that only a band or orchestra can do on July 4th, then everyone enjoyed some super fireworks after dark. Many thanks to the Alpine Kiwanis Club for organizing the entire event.

Mark your calendars for August 12th, when The Resonators take the stage again at The Railroad Blues in Alpine. Showtime will be 10:00 PM. Check back from time to time because other public performances are being set up, ones you won't want to miss!

By the way, we made some new friends with a band called Negami on July 2nd (private party). What a great Tejano band and nice bunch of guys. Thanks, Negami, for your support and friendship.

We'll see everyone soon!

July 4th in Alpine, Texas

It's been a while since we've added to the blog, but we'd like to invite everyone to our upcoming performance on Monday, July 4th at Kokernot Park in Alpine, Texas. Come see Alpine's Independence Day Parade at 5:00 PM (5th Street), then make your way to the park for music, food and fireworks. The music and firewors are absolutely free, so don't miss it.

For those of you who made to the Railroad Blues on June 17th, thanks a lot. Thanks, as well, to Richard and RC for giving us the chance to fill in for the act that was previously scheduled for that date. Like the sign on the wall in the Blues says, 'Alpine kicks ass!'

Alpine's Fiesta del Sol (Alpine, Texas)

June 18th, Resonators, Alpine's Fiesta del Sol; be there!

Come hear us at Alpine's Fiesta del Sol on the evening of Saturday, June 18th. All the action will be on 6th Street. Thanks to the wonderful folks in Alpine's art scene for always considering us. We'll see you there!

Catch The Resonators in Alpine twice this summer!

Hey everyone! Well it's June and time for some summer fun. Be sure to set aside at least a day or two (more, if possible), get out of town and turn off that cell phone!

If your travels lead you to Alpine, Texas on July 4th, then stop by Kokernot Park that evening for some great family entertainment. The Resonators will perform, along with the Alpine Community Band, culminating with fireworks after dark. It's all free, too!

We'll also be playing a free concert at the gazebo in front of the Brewster County Courthouse in early August, so stay tuned for specifics coming up.

Another place we love to play is Terlingua. We're working on setting up a Sunday July 3rd performance down there. Check back for developments on this possible gig. Would be a fun time to play for the music-loving, dance-loving folks in South Brewster County.

Take care.

Marfa Lights Festival adds Resonators for Sunday evening dance

Hey Marfa Lights Festival fans, we are excited to be playing this year's event on both Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. We originally were only booked for Saturday, but today we were asked to play Sunday evening, too. Awesome! The Marfa Lights Festival is one of the top area events, both in terms of attendance and the quality of the festival itself. We are honored and grateful for the consideration. Be ready to cut a major rug in September!

Thanks to our fans at The Blues

Alpine and the entire Big Bend are very fortunate to have a venue like The Railroad Blues. What a great place for music, dancing, and fun!

Our gig on Saturday was a blast. We must've played over 50 different songs, and it seemed like the dance floor was abuzz the whole time. Thanks to everyone who turned out and gave us such inspiration. It's been a little over a year now since this project known as The Resonators has been going on, and we'd still like to say "you ain't seen nuthin' yet!"

The Resonators will be doing a few private functions through June, but make plans to come see us again on July 4th at Kokernot Park in Alpine. Fireworks, patriotic music by the Alpine Community Band, and dancing with TheResonators... Should be fun for the whole family!

The Resonators are anxious to make their return to The Railroad Blues in Alpine this coming Saturday, May 21. Y'all come see us. It'll be a great show. Cover is $6, and the show starts at 10:00 PM. You just might catch Lucy's new original tune, "Driven."

We've upgraded our site with this new blog, a guestbook, as well as several soundclips. Hope you enjoy visiting. Be sure to leave an entry in our guestbook.

Thanks for everyone's support of our group. Be sure to bring a friend the next time you come and hear us.

Regards,

John Ferguson
