You won't be disappointed Rufus, believe me. I have to wait until October - have booked him to play my home town.

Re: Ryan McGarvey playing free show in Los Angeles on 13 August
Hi Rufus; have to agree with Kenny; you've got to catch Ryan McG while you can, I'd also advise that you stitch your socks to your legs as he'll blow them off; then again, the first time you see/hear him do Mystic Dream live it'll probably take your legs away too....
Can't help but think it's a bit of a strange decision; true there's plenty of Angelinos here have been baying to see Ryan, since he rarely gets a gig outside of home state New Mexico; so maybe its toward raising his profile in the US, but his fan base is in Europe, especially Germany; I'd have thought that would be where to record. If I were really partisan, his October gig at Gateshead Sage would be the place to record, the sound there is great and Ryan's following in "my backyard" is loyal & rowdy.

I've got a couple of thoughts on this event. First doing it in L.A. makes sense financially since the L.A. basin has no shortage of audio and video recording professionals. Coming to where they are would seem logical. Second thought is free admission should guarantee a packed house. L.A. is just like the Bay Area with so many entertainment options especially on a Saturday night that a free gig will certainly make for an easy decision, at least it would on my part. Damn I wish he had decided on S.F. instead. Maybe one of these days! Would love to see Carmine again.
Rock On Ryan Mac!

Free in L.A. is an often (or NOT 
) subtle inference designed to give patrons incentive to donate to charity as the entertainers do...

I went on Saturday and was Completely Blown Away!!!!!!
THANK YOU Kenny & BansheeUK for the event heads-up & encouragement to go!!!! I had a long day Saturday and seriously considered just making it a mellow "night in." But I remembered what you both said here (BansheeUK, your "advice" cracked me up!), so I rallied and made it to the show and am soooo glad I did!!!!
Ryan McGarvey is incredible!!!!!! Wow, you weren't kidding about Mystic Dream, BansheeUK--socks & legs gone!!!
It was a really cool event. Small, intimate, great sound (to my non-audiophile ears, anyway), great people. I enjoyed talking to everyone I met--really neat group of folks. I even got to meet Ryan McGarvey & his Dad--two fine gentlemen! Both Ryan & his Dad were warm, friendly & appreciative of everyone being there. I let them know I found out about the gig from this forum & that there are a lot of big Ryan McG fans here on the JB forum.
Carmine Rojas was amazing on bass. I love watching him play. I met him after the show, as well. Another fine gentleman! Nice as could be.

Hey Rufus; glad you had a great time, and that the night went well for Ryan & Co. Very happy to pass on the recommendation as it was a forum buddy from Germany first tuned my ears to the McGarvey phenomenon. Over the past 3 or so years he's played in to UK, I've seen him play in venues from the back room of a Mexican restaurant (from a distance of 3ft away) to 500 seater halls, and I still think he has 3 hands and 6 fingers on each of them.
Also agree, Ryan & his Pop are good people; very humble and very appreciative of people coming out to se them play and coming over to chat after the show, as were previous regular band mates, Logan the drummer and Sam, the coolest & tallest bass player.

Yes, Logan was there! Enjoyed chatting with him after the show as well. (I was going to mention him in my earlier post, but worried I was going on too much, so he got edited out-- sorry, Logan!) I agree, another great guy--friendly, down to earth, and awesome on drums! I'm pretty sure Ryan said it was the first time the three of them had played together. (Ryan/Carmine/Logan) It seemed like Logan was "in the band," but for whatever reason he will not be going on this next European tour.
So envious of all of you across the pond who will get to see Ryan McG, Carmine, & whoever's on drums soon! I asked if they had any plans to come back to the West Coast, but they don't b/c promoters won't "take the risk" & book them here in the States. Such a shame!!! I know I'd only be preaching to the choir, so I won't even start . . . Just really happy I got to see them when I did!
