[NEWS] 4/22/08 - Spring is Here, Festival Season Around the Corner!

FGC kicked off April with a blowout performance at Chicago's House of Blues with the incomparable Victor Wooten Band. Victor Wooten himself set the tone for the night by personally introducing the band and Janis in particular (whom he has dubbed the "Mistress of Groove"). FGC played a fantastic set to a huge crowd, and enjoyed a tremendous evening. We'd like to extend heartfelt thanks to Victor and his band, and to our good friends Jack Trifiro and Dave Welch for making us feel so welcome.

Last weekend saw the band debut to a huge crowd at Friends and Co. in Charleston, IL, followed by a great night at one of FGC's favorite spots, the Redstone Room in Davenport, IA. A killer set at the band's first festival of the year, Operation Adaptation, rounded out the weekend, and helped set tone for what is shaping up to be an incredible summer.

Speaking of which, FGC is pleased to once again confirm two appearances at this year's Summer Camp Festival. First up will be a late night set in the Red Barn on Thursday night, along with U-melt and Future Rock, followed by an outdoor set Saturday afternoon.

FGC also looks forward to a debut appearance at Wakarusa on June 6th, an appearance at the inaugural Lazy River Music and Arts Festival in South Elgin, IL, on June 29th, and everybody is thrilled to return to the 10,000 Lakes Festival on July 23rd.

It's been fantastic to get the first hints of warm weather…looking forward to enjoying the Spring, and can't wait for a fantastic Summer!

See you out there!
