August Prep Rehearsal
The beginning of August is the "hump" for the Toucans; that time when the upcoming gigs are fewer than the gigs already completed. It's also the time of year when we've played all the songs we know dozens of times, and are about to go crazy from lack of new tunes.
The remedy?
A fun mid-summer Toucans rehearsal!
After retrieving Toucan Dave from his bivouac high atop Mount Rainier and fishing Toucan Steve out from his secret underwater laboratory, the Toucans swooped down upon a handful of new songs. Each tune was carefully chosen by Toucan Rob and Toucan Pete to give maximum value for your steel drum dollar. A few sultry latin tunes, a reworking of an old calypso favorite, and a pop tune from the early 1980's for good measure; a little fresh material goes a long way!
Get ready for Seafair Weekend! Ear-splitting Blue Angel fly-bys, outdoor concerts (Edmonds City Park, Sunday August 8th from 3-4 pm), and BBQ on Lake Washington. Find out why we call it the Tropical Northwest!
