Western Tour Revisited #2

One of the most delightful surprises of the western tour this fall was our first gig. It was at an out of the way spot, south of Calgary and just 12 miles north of the U.S. border at a place called The General Store near Twin Butte. Dubbed “one of the windiest spots in Canada” the surrounding foothills are dotted with wind turbines, while the majestic Rockies loom in the background. It’s a surreal and compelling sight to behold.

The venue was small but it was packed with warm hearted, generous folks who like to have fun, live large and take their western hospitality seriously. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. We’ll be back any time you’ll have us!

Small venue, big fun!

The view from our accommodation. What a way to wake up!
