Hittin the road!

Keiki has enlightened what I stand for in the logo for my band.  One morning she asked me what I would like to share from the depths of my heart and place it in a logo.

WITHIN THE LOGO:   The palm tree expresses joy. The stalwart cedar tree  signifies wisdom and the quaking aspen represents the holy spirit or the whispering winds as music to our ears.  The roots represent the interconnection  of humanity interwoven as the collective manifesting body of creativity and abundance.  Life force energy from the water of life surging upwards from the depths of the earths mantle is the lifeblood moving through earths crust in the second dimension.  The microcosmos that are part of the elementals bring life to the third dimension   (the earths crust) where the sunshine illuminates all living vibrations into the fields of sound.

Keiki’s intricate attention to detail is showcased in the logo artistry.  Thank you Keiki for your studious efforts for the Brandon Dannals Band!

Also thank you Brynn Farwell for getting the logo set up for screen printing.  We are pleased with how sharp it looks.

We will update when the nice tank tops, sweat shirts and hats are ready for purchase.

 

Hittin the  road! Ten gigs in ten days was the goal and here is a summary of what we experienced. Enjoy!

 

Day 2- Jason, Jennifer and I groovin’ in the R-pod all the way to Elko NV!  Powered through northern Nevada and southern Idaho on our way to Alpine, WY!  Sunsets that take your breath away.

 

Day 3- Cruisin’ to Alpine, WY to Grey’s River Cove Rv Park to rock out on the stage thanks to our friends Mike and Garrett.  760 miles later our first show near the Grand Tetons!

Day4- It was quite an incredible stage backdrop in Alpine! The liked us so much, they offered us three free nights here at Grey’s River Cove!

 

The winding road from the Tetons which were socked in eventually led through Dubois and the Wind River Range also socked in but we enjoyed every minute of laughter and kindness from Wyoming residents.  In the Wind River Canyon  the sun popped out and danced the clouds away for a moment.  We are on our way to Thermopolis which contains the largest mineral springs in the world!

After a cancelled gig for Wyoming Discovery Days due to a so called Wyoming monsoon we had great soaking- much needed!

 

 

Now its four days in mostly sweltering heat in Hulett, Wyoming with the Dakota Bob Business Man Blues Band!

We had an amazing time.  Unfortunately we lost most of our footage when we returned home.  Its a bummer….

We will always remember this amazing journey.  The Snake River heading to Jackson leading us to the Grand Tetons was worth the long slow haul.  The springs feeding glorious wildflowers through the aspen woods was a highlight and very therapeutic.  We met so many kind wonderful people.  It felt like home wherever we landed.   Thermopolis was another highlight…  A much needed soak and a fascinating place to explore while observing the layers of minerals in all different colors and textures across the hillside.  We learned about the indigenous people who showcase their crafts and culture during the Wyoming Discovery Days festival

The terrain had a story of its own,  the glory was mesmerizing and grand.  I do have a respect for wide open spaces and this journey made me realize how much open terrain this land has to offer.  A pace of solitude and vastness for miles and miles.

Great trip all together as we finished the tour by rocking the KOA campgrounds in Deadwood, South Dakota. as well as in Belle Fouche, South Dakota for a cornhole tournament.

Flying out of Rapid City, we dug every minute of this fantastic journey!
