This past weekend opening up the Island (the new Sammy's Rockin' Island Bar & Grill) in Roseville was off the hook! There's nothing like getting the key to a city and having a day named after you anywhere in the world is fantastic! I love the charm and soul of the old part of downtown and being part of it. Plus, the restaurant looks and sounds phenomenal! We played a set to a thousand Redheads in the bar and out on the streets and it's the best sounding of all my live music venues. I love the way people are crowded around the stage and stairway - it really feels close and personal.
