The advanced level of musicianship exhibited by all the bands on Sunday just blew me away! These were not run-of-the-mill generic bands, but bands that could actually play and featured stunning instrumentalists. People keeping the great traditions of Buck Owens, Bob Wills and other fantastic period artists alive. Needless to say I was more then impressed.

Nice to meet you too, Kiki, and Tiki-affair, THANKS for letting us play there. We had an awesome time, and the place is beautiful. Very vintage feel.

Is it Tiki? At this point, I don't really care. This brunch thing is routinely getting great musicans to play, in styles you just don't hear every day. I would rather listen to these bands then some that have been advertised as being "tiki" (even headlining major tiki festivals) yet have not even a passing affiliation with anything Tiki.

This hillbilly and rockabilly stuff attracts a lot of people who have the vintage vibe, and enjoy outstanding music. I will be back, and I hope our band is also invited back!
