It was a special treat for the band and fans alike to get together to enjoy music at the Wildey.
“We are thrilled every time we get an opportunity to play The Wildey. It’s an intimate venue with great acoustics and it feels like we are playing in our fans living room,” said John Dillon one of the founding members of the band.
Throughout the night the band showcased their incredible musical talents. The band as a whole played an impressive amount of instruments throughout the show, lots of guitars, percussion, mandolin, fiddle, keys, and harmonica.
“We are equally excited that after 47 years, we have fans that come and support us and sold out three shows. We could not be more grateful for that kind of support,” said Dillon.
Forty-seven years later the band that started in Springfield, Mo., and climbed to such success are still having a blast playing shows for their supporters.

The album was highly anticipated by the fans who followed them through their musical journey. The new music has also brought new fans who recently discovered them from their latest release.
