The Blue Island Beer Club (Bruce Kula and Colin Ward) is alive and well and ready to play some gigs in 2009. We have been practicing regularly and our repertoire of songs is up to 80 originals and covers and we have tested a wide variety of new brews.
We have added new original songs from both Bruce and Colin, plus we have dug back in the archives to find some great cover songs that you may not have heard for a while. Think Badfinger, Ten Years After, Otis Redding and of course The Beatles.
We like the new Guinness in bottles with a widget and most India Pale Ales (although there is a wide variation within that class). Neither one of us likes the peculiar taste that comes with any beer from Belgium.........awful stuff..........right down the drain with it.
In the interest of practicing in front of live people, we went to a coffee shop open mike/mic in Indian Shores. It is small and intimate, but they had a nice P.A., appreciative people, and decent coffee and drinks. A bit of a jam ensued and we had Tom sitting in with us on saxophone for a few songs.
To listen to samples of The Blue Island Beer Club, you can go here. Lone Palm Tree.
To try the aforementioned brews, you can visit your local liquor store (but watch out for Made In Belgium).
