We’re going for an RR double-header in tomorrow’s sunshine ( Sat June 19 ) like so:

* 10:45 am at the Highlands Festival East Stage ( 32nd & Julian )

* 4pm at the Platte River Grill ( 5995 S. Santa Fe Drive )

See you at one …or both!

Also, a quick reminder that Westword’s voting for the best in Denver music ends after Sunday.  Reckless Red is on the ballot, so we’re hoping you’ll go to the poll site ( http://polls.westword.com/polls/den/musicshowcase ) and cast a quick electronic vote.  It’s really simple:

Put in your name, then proceed through the various pages/categories until you reach category #33 ( yes, we’re a blues band for these purposes… ).  Drop a click by Reckless Red, submit your ballot on the next page and you’re done… As always, thanks for the support y’all!

Ahh well, the weather can’t be our friend every time, now can it?

The RR appearance tonight at the Platte River Grill has been officially called off due to the wet and chilly conditions… but hey, we’ve got plenty more summer/outdoor fun coming up in June and beyond.

Check the calendar, and we’ll see you sometime soon!

Hey, reckless friends.  Just wanted to let you know that Reckless Red popped up on the Westword ballot for “Best Blues Band”.  Kinda fun to see our names in there!  While we’re not the vote-whoring, begging and pleading types, it would be fun to make a nice showing.

If you’d like to cast a vote for us, you’ll find the ballot at http://polls.westword.com/polls/den/musicshowcase/ .  There are oodles of categories; blues is a few pages in.

Congrats to all the great Denver bands on the ballot.  There’s some great talent in there.

See ya at the Horseshoe this Saturday!

Well, damn.  All good things must come to an end eventually.  Sound Guy Bob (Mr. CJ) has taken a job in Charleston, SC, and is stubbornly refusing to commute back to run sound for every RR show.  Selfish, huh? CJ will be staying here (kid-related issues mean leaving the state is out of the question right now) so RR will continue, but without a valuable member of our team.

This Saturday’s show at the Horseshoe Lounge in Denver will likely be Bob’s last show, and the last opportunity for our great and loyal fans to tell him how much they’ve appreciated him.  Come on out to a great bar, hear some gritty music, and raise a glass to Cowboy Bob.

Good luck, Charleston. We're sending you this.

Hey, all — CJ here.

Ever been to the Olde Towne Tavern in Littleton?  It’s my living room.  And my satellite office.  (If you ever hear me say that I’m going to “the office”, look for me on Main Street.)  I know pretty much everyone there, on both sides of the counter.  It’s the sort of dark-paneled just-tacky-enough dive bar that everyone feels comfortable at.  You’ll find everything from the crusty old guys, to the poker junkies, to the college crowd, to the rowdy students at the school for the blind next door.

So this Friday night, we’re playing in my living room, entertaining my drinking buddies, and it doesn’t get much more fun than that.  There’s no stage and no lights, but there’s good, stiff, cheap, stiff (stiff, stiff) drinks and a nicely strange crew to party with.  Hope you’ll all be there.

(Be sure to have a Reckless Red shot or two.  Two bucks.  OTT rocks.)
