The Nieds Hotel Band  just got asked to play Moondogs (Blawnox) next Saturday night May 7 from 9:30pm-10:30pm opening up for The Mannish Boys (classic rock/blues). Since no one in this region supports live music (especially local artists) quite like Ronnie, the owner of Moondogs. I was hoping you could help us make a great showing by asking, prodding, and even paying, if necessary all of you friends and family to come out for our set. The Nied's Hotel Band will perform unplugged, no drums, just live, raw and vulnerable...........hmmmmmmm. We're also thrilled to announce that guitarist Johnny Carlino, best known for his work with James, will be joining us. Johnny plays a mean 12 string acoustic guitar. Hope you can find your way to Moondogs in Blawnox next Saturday night, cover is $5.
