Bentz Street Sports Bar - 4/9/06 - Frederick, MD

The Bentz Street Sports Bar used to be called the Bentz Street Raw Bar until about a year ago. I had played at an open mic at the Raw Bar with Chris Babb years ago. The place was pretty sizable, but always had that roadside dive kind of vibe.

Since the place changed owners, it has undergone some major changes. The new guys really jazzed the place up and gave it more of the "sports bar" vibe. I thought the decor was much better. Plus they have a great stage, which we all loved.

Despite the fact that a rumor was going around that Market Street was dead, we seemed to have a really good crowd in the place. Like I said, the place is pretty big, but things really picked up in the middle of the show and the room filled out. Lots of family, friends, and fans to which we always owe our eternal thanks.

A few college friends from LVC (who were now living in the DC area) came out to the show and it was great to see them. They had not had a chance to see me play since I graduated from school, so it was fun showing them the new group and what I've been up to since we all got our really expensive pieces of paper.

Overall, a good gig. We finished out the night with some grub and tall tales at the Frederick IHOP. Until next time...
