  • Hey, Hatch. Just one more time, I'd like to thank you and your friends for making the day at our fundraiser. I can officially announce that we raised "thousands" (just barely plural, but huge, nonetheless) for the Diabetes Research facility that will be going up at the University of Iowa. If you ever need anything, please remember me. Whenever someone asks me if I know of a good band for their party, yours will be the first that comes to mind. It wasn't just the music, either. You all lent a tremendous vibe to the room, personally, and that's rare.

    Please pass along my heartfelt thanks to everyone else in the band and I'll see you at the next Zina's gig, if not sooner. Please add me to your email list.

  • I listened to The 3rd Degree Blues Band at the Coach House and they were incredible. The Band was so great until they expecially Aaron. He is so cool he makes his own Ice. Anyone listening to their music would surly agree.
