Hear Us

Come here to find out where the guys will be playing next. And remember, if we don't have any gigs coming up near you and you're in the Huntington area, you have a standing invitation to drop by the Wednesday night jam session at Charlie's house. (Don't bring a covered dish -- the boys have had enough, and besides, they get sleepy after they eat...) Just call and let us know you're coming.

Upcoming Gigs

The Flood is hitting the road to Lexington, Ky., to perform on Red Barn Radio this Wednesday evening, Jan. 7.

Now in its seventh season, Red Barn Radio is a syndicated weekly broadcast started by Ed Commons and Marilyn Myers and produced with Brad Becker.

In-depth interview with the performers are conducted before or during the performance and are incorporated into the final edit for airplay by affiliate stations, including Public Radio in several states and Canada.

You can sample earlier shows at http://wgad.net. In central Kentucky, you can hear the broadcast on WUKY FM 91.3 at 11 p.m. on Saturdays. And for more about the show, visit its site at http://www.redbarnradio.com.

The edited shows -- the performances with the interviews woven in -- typically air about five weeks after the initial recording, so The Flood's show probably will hit the airwaves some time in February.

So, if you're in the Lexington area, you can come down for the show -- it's recorded before a live audience at Arts Place, 161 North Mill Street starting at 7 p.m. A door charge of $5 for adults (children attend free) is donated to the LexArts facility for its use. Parking is available adjacent to Arts Place.

If you're looking for a place to eat before the show, the venue is a block away from Cheapside Bar and Grill, a nice place to grab a bite.

And by the way, long-time Flood buddy Rob McNurlin will be making a return visit to the Red Barn the week after the Flood's debut there. Mark your calendar -- Rob and the Beatnik Cowboys will be on Red Barn Radio on Jan. 14.
