Westbrook Citrus Ninja canned 06/26/20
Thinline Telecaster.
New to me Vox AC30...this thing is LOUD.
And the beer is FANTASTIC.

That’s the thing I’ve found about Fender guitars...

most of them take the heat and humidity really well. This Tele has traveled the country and stayed in the band van for years. Heat. Cold. Humid. Arid. You name it. This guitar deals really well with changes in atmospheric conditions. I think I had it set up once. It’s just a workhorse that rolls with the punches. To answer your question, I’m in the upstate right on the border of Greenville and Spartanburg counties. It is HOT and HUMID here now. Just playing on the porch so I won’t bother SheFree as much. Playing the AC30 in the house would be unbearable.
Here’s the Tele in a 2019 live setting. It’s an awesome guitar:

But it takes some major juice to convince John Popper to sit in on the keys.

And yes...he looks a lot like mid 90s John Popper. We call him “Tiny”. He also plays harmonica. I really like that kid.
He can play ANYTHING on his little computer/keyboard setup.

The band started off as an original act called Evoka.

We recorded our first demo in 1999.
The last release was in 2007 entitled Cries from the Castlegate Empire. You can listen to it on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.
Evoka is dead, but I hope we can revive it in 2021, because we really were a great band.
To fund our quest to make original music, we found that we could make much more money doing covers, so we started a cover band and got really good at it. Evoka may be long gone, but we have a few other people join us to kill the covers every now and again. Most of the songs are rock songs from the 90s and 2000s with a sprinkling of Doors, Johnny Cash, Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Tom Petty.
Our last show was a tribute to the 25th anniversary of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers album. We played all 15 songs and 3 Or 4 other Petty hits back in December of 2019.
Info from that show (it was an awesome gig):
https://m.facebook.com/theramkat/posts/923787091349201 The Ramkat Doors are about to open for A Tribute to Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" by The Civics with special guests Jeffrey Dean Foster Music & Friends performing tunes...
I’m just hoping we get to play out in 2021. I don’t care if it’s originals or covers. I just want to play out again.

So we really do still have a chance to find peace and common ground in this world.
I find this video really encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

Too hot imo to be on the front porch. At least here in upstate.

I went out on the lake yesterday and didn’t drink enough water, got back and was extremely dehydrated to the point of vomiting, no energy and body cramps. Won’t make that mistake again.
Harpua has a blast though. Pic attached.
