This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features a fun moment from a recent rehearsal.

Some things happen only once in a blue moon, but a great thing about music is that you can have a blue moon whenever you want one.

And some — like this one — come with a surprise ending. This particular surprise is the best kind because it was a surprise to us as well.

Enjoy! Click to hear the tune.

This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie tells about a special gig we have this Saturday night.

We’re so happy to be invited back to play again at Huntington’s newest music festival, the Jewel City Jamboree, down at Harris Riverfront Park.

We’re set to play Saturday night at 6, but come early! Our friends Wiley Dew play at 4 and then good buddy Rob McNurlin and his Beatnik Cowboys are on stage at 5. It’s going to be a great weekend of music down by the river side!

Here’s a tune The Flood will be including in our 60-minute set. Click to hear the tune.

This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie tells about a special gig we have next week..

We’re thrilled to be invited to play at Bahnhof, Huntington's hottest new restaurant at 745 7th Avenue. If you've been planning to check out the venue everyone's talking about -- or if you're ALREADY a Bahnhof fan -- come on out for this special Tuesday night, May 23, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Weather permitting, we'll be pickin' on the patio! If the weather gods don’t cooperate, we’ll be inside. Either way, we’ll have a ball. And you will too if you join us.

We might even have a special guest. Who? The hint is in this tune! Enjoy. Click to hear the tune.

This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie is a status report on a song that's been in the works since last year.

The fascination with the American Civil War continues a century and half after Appomattox. We've got it too.

About a year ago, Paul Martin brought us this tune -- "The Last Time (You'll See Jenny)" -- and we've been listening as the arrangement grows and evolves each week. Here's our latest take on the song as recorded at last night's weekly rehearsal. That's Paul singing the lead and everyone else helping out on the harmonies and the solos. Click to hear the tune.

This Week's Freebie from The 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features a little summertime jam

We just barely had a quorum for last night's rehearsal. Suddenly, sicknesses of assorted stripe have struck us.

But as we say around here, wherever two or more gather in its name, it is The Flood, and last night we had two plus two, which is just enough for some pre-summertime fun. Click to hear the tune.
