Jackwagon Blues Band starts year 2

So my blues band did our first show in 2019 and it went pretty well. Our goal is to book 4 or 5 gigs a year and following this show we got 3 new bookings to total 5 through July. We have had two guitarists and one bass player leave already in that time. No controversy, just work and family obligations. Each time, we popped in someone else who fit really well and I think we might stay with this group for a while. We had the Blues Babes join us for a few songs at our last show. One of them quit and one has a throat condition being treated. I think they will return in some form for us in the future. In the meantime, here are a couple clips. Leisure suit blues is one of our originals. I think I posted a video of us doing that at our first gig a year ago.

Idaho was written by a much younger, much cooler band than us. They started out local but are now based in Portland and touring the world. http://autonomicspdx.com/ They are nice enough to let us use their song:

This is one of the few songs I sing:

Thanks for your kind comments. We are having a blast. The tone is epiphone les paul through a blues junior. The lighting was my fault because the venue showed me how to run the lights but I forgot all about them when we started the show (I still get way to nervous to really function at the beginning of each gig). However, no one at the gigged complained about the low lights (perhaps that's cuz they have seen us in full light and knew they weren't missing anything good :unsure:).
