Yoga, music and the streets

HERE'S A WAY cool idea that has quickly taken off and will be a lot of fun Saturday.

It's the second annual Yoga and Street Music Festival, brought to you by the good folks at Yoga7even. The stage is set up right in front of the Yoga7even studios near Eighth and Hampshire, and there are Yoga classes every 90 minutes.

Quincy needs more unique events like this. Cheeks McGee put the musical lineup together and I'm honored he asked me to play. I'm up at noon and hopefully followed by George Cate - no way am I playing after that guy, he's way too good! It's a solo gig sandwiched between HartLyss at Cellar 21 Friday night and The Cheeseburgers at Pop's Club in Hannibal Saturday night.

We'll sleep when we're dead. Or after Yoga class.

National Cheeseburger Day

FRIDAY IS NATIONAL Cheeseburger Day. It's perfect timing, as The Cheeseburgers get ready to kick off the fall portion of the Hot Off The Grill Tour.

Dark side of The Cheese. Yum!

Brian Myles of KICK FM in Quincy gave us some major love in honor of the big day. Click here for the must-read interview. And if you think it's easy to play guitar when your hands are full of sesame seeds, well, think again.

We play Saturday night at Pop's Club in Hannibal from 7 to 11. We've never been to Pop's and we've been promised it's a good time, and we are ready to rock. Justin Sievert will be playing bass.

The next Saturday we are at the 104 Grill in Meredosia. We have shows Oct. 31 at Quincy University, Nov. 14 in Carthage at a wedding, Nov. 21 at the Elks Lodge in Quincy, and New Year's Eve at the Keokuk Yacht Club.

Can't wait to celebrate our own big day - National Cheeseburger Day!
