ALIBI at The Spillway

We had booked The Spillway several months in advance and the date for our first gig with them was originally set for Saturday, 08 June 13.

However, due to a double booking for that date our gig was cancelled, which started a domino effect that in the long run worked to our advantage. We were invited to return and perform on that date at Bootheel Harley-Davidson for a second time.

At Bootheel we performed in the KGMO 100.7FM Radio Station Rock and Rumble Battle of the Bands (see post on 08 Jun 2013 to hear our performance of "No Matter What") and were interviewed live on air by the Radio Station.


Our performance there lead to our being invited to perform at the highly publicized biker event called "Bikers on the Square" in Perryville the weekend prior to our new booking to perform at the The Spillway on Saturday, 29 June 2013.

With all the publicity we received throughout the month of June we had a very substantial audience for our debut at The Spillway.



The crowd came from all over the surrounding area with some traveling more than 20 miles to get there. Included among the regulars that evening were some of the members of the Board of Directors from the City of Perryville.

I enjoyed performing with ALIBI at the Spillway, with its good sized, diverse audience. Most were welcoming and warmed up to us rather quickly. Dancers filled the floor early and were very enthusiastic about the music we were doing.

We have been asked several times to return to The Spillway but have had scheduling difficulties in finding another available date. We hope to be able to return in the not too distant future.
