This is a remarkable week in the life of our faire Quenby… who has moved into not just “Anywhere”, but part of her new home in Livingston! This is also the name of the 10th and second to the last featured song for the new album ‘Pretty Little Thing’ – and next week we will cover the final of the 11 songs you’ll find on the new album. We are so close to sending it to press!

This song expresses the sorrows of finding a trusted friend no longer along the ride as life moves along…

***Anywhere***

Lyrics:
You, you said to me
You said you would follow me anywhere
I, I heard your plea
And said you can follow me anywhere
Yeah come on and follow me anywhere

You say you wanna ride
You say you’ll stick by my side
But you won’t follow me anywhere

On that note, this week the legendary Merle Haggard passed on his 79th birthday – he was about to take off on tour with his buddy Willie Nelson. Funnily our friend Jake was sporting this shirt at MAP Brewery on Tuesday night – it was a great eve with Quenby and Uncle Bill Devine serenading us >>>

This weekend coming:

* Friday and Saturday Nights!! April 8 & 9 @ The Virginian, Jackson Hole from 9:30 pm – 1 am

* Sunday, April 10 @ Songwriter’s Show, Yellowstone Valley Brewing w/ Tom Catmull and Sean Devine from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

~banter by yours truly… Heidi the SuperFan XO

This week we are featuring ‘Russell and Ronnie’ a tale that belays it’s peppy demeanor — sometimes the plain facts of a matter are so bad all you can do is play Zydeco. Definitely a very fun song to dance too!

Lyrics:
Way out back round the well
Ronnie’s stumbling towards the farmhouse
drunk as hell.

Now he’s had a taste of her’s
and his own wife’s love’s gone cold.

…and then this song goes into some really strange places… ending with (as seen at Bridger Bowl):

Heed my words, all you folks,
taking each other’s wives ain’t no joke.
But, if you do, and break the news
you’d better hope he’s drunk his weight in booze.

Come out this week and mention this blog post ‘Russel and Ronnie’ or ‘Pretty Little Thing’ to Quenby at a gig. If you are the first person to reach out you will win a FREE Quenby and WOW band t-shirt in celebration of the upcoming new album… just a few weeks away until the release!

Springtime in the Rockies is Happening! … and sometimes things just seem a bit too much with the newness this time of year brings, which is why we’re highlighting the song ‘Too Much’ this week. Perhaps it’s time to chill out, embrace change, and go with the flow…here’s some of the lyrics to ponder –>

** TOO MUCH **
I know I laugh too hard
I know I smoke too much
I know I stay too long
Baby, when you’ve had enough

I know I play too hard
I know I drink more than my share
It seems I’d be hard to trust
And Baby, I know you’re scared

This last weekend was a blast at the Eagles dancing – both nights we had a great turnout of dancers! Just a reminder to dancers and fans, grab that tip bucket and take it for a spin around the venue to share with your friends – it totally makes a difference! The band so enjoys feeling our love!

Here’s a link to last week’s feature song You’re No Good Unless You’re Mine at the Bozeman Eagles

And finally, album updates!! Quenby received the final mixes from the consummate Kevin Szymanski at Austin’s 12th Street Sound and she’s transporting them next to Fred Baker for mastering with Electric Peak Recording in Gardiner, MT. Design for the album jacket is also underway at Rancid Ranch Design in Round Rock, TX, with text sent and images that were from the sassy photo shoot from October, along with other bits gathered along the way like from the first recording session in November. Things are coming together!

Cheers! ~ post by Heidi aka super fan… who is sooo going to apre ski this week!

A verse and a chorus of this week’s featured song from the new PLT album ‘You’re No Good Unless You’re Mine’

I tried to tell you you’re no good unless you’re mine
Go out see for yourself and that’s just what you’ll find
Think twice baby, ’cause it’s a lot to leave behind
You know it’s true you’re just no good unless you’re mine

I could live without you for the rest of my days
I love my friends and all the hell that we raise
But if you stay with me this time, like you should
You know together we add up to more than good.

Quenby assures me she’s never directly said that to anyone; however, the experience of watching a relationship segue slowly and painfully into an estranged connection as entertained in this tune, is a ubiquitous one and easy enough to tap into, no matter what she claims – definitely a goodie!! To fit the tenor of the ballad, how about this fun buddy shot with Kevin Toll and Jason Uhlmann from their gig this last weekend in Red Lodge. Can’t you see it in his eyes, Jason? I think he’s telling you, “You’re No Good Unless You’re Mine…”>>

Kevin and Jason whooping it up in Red Lodge, MT

The 10-day forecast of gigs is as follows:

Tuesday, March 15 at Katabatic Brewing Company, 117 W Park St. in Livingston, MT @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm …this is a solo Quenby evening supporting Livingston Women in Business’ event, Beer For a Cause – for every beer you buy, $1 goes to the organization.

Come fun dancing with the band on the weekend:
Friday and Saturday, March 18 & 19 at the Eagles in Bozeman, MT @ 9:30p …Quenby and the WOW Band!

Next Sunday, March 20 at the Kountry Korner Cafe in Four Corners, MT @ 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm …another solo acoustic eve with Quenby to accompany your dinner.

Tuesday, March 22 at Bozeman Spirits in Bozeman, MT @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm … enjoy a cocktail with some great solo acoustic Quenby!

Quenby returns to Montana tomorrow with a solid week of mixing completed for the ‘Pretty Little Thing’ new album project, and she now has rapid movement forward towards the finished product!

This week we are featuring the song ‘Easy’ which will have Tessy Lou Williams on back up vocals. Tessy Lou was in 12th Street Studio with Quenby this week in Austin, TX.

I’m giving a teaser of the lyrics because you’ll want to live by the words of the whole song (which will be available with the album release…). The song, in a nutshell, is about resisting being rushed into a relationship.

***EASY***

You listen to your heart
I’ll listen to my words
And baby, I know
We’ll end up where we should

So remember, mention this blog to Quenby when you are in Red Lodge this weekend and that you heard the feature song, Easy, OR the title track, Pretty Little Thing. Now that we are getting close to the album release we’ve ramped up the prize to a free Quenby and WOW Band t-shirt to the first fan who calls it!

…an image from a sponsor in the mix, we’ll call this ‘the Manhattan project’, or maybe better ‘the Ennis project’ since that’s where you would find Willie’s distillery…

And, Kevin Syzmanski waving his magic hands over the mixing board…

See you out dancing or apre ski! ~ Cheers, Heidi the SuperFan

P.S. Since we are still celebrating the new album being titled – >>>
enjoy this video of Pretty Little Thing at the Virginian in Jackson, WY on 2/13/16 put together by multi-talented WOW band playa Micheal Hoffman.

Quenby is traversing from an amazing weekend in Jackson Hole, WY at the Silver Dollar to Austin, TX tomorrow to begin a week of final mixing!

Loyal Jackson fans deserve a round of applause for showing up with their spirited appreciation and wonderful dancing! It was an eclectic crowd at the Wort both nights with folks both local and from all over the world, along with a fun-loving group that came down from the Bozeman area in Montana too. A birthday shout-out goes to Glenna who we got to celebrate with both nights (and we discovered she shares the same birthdate as both Elizabeth Taylor and Johnny Cash…). We enjoyed a tasty and jovial final morning brunch send-off with her at Eleanor’s Bar and Grill.

With a wild weekend in Stanley bringing wind to her wings, and tonight at MAP adding a moment of repose next to the steampunk moose, we are in full prep for the send-off weekend in Jackson Hole AND then on to Austin for a week of final mixing!

Friday, February 26 @ 7:30 – 11:00pm Silver Dollar at the Wort Hotel, Jackson Hole, WY
Saturday, February 27 @ 7:30 – 11:00pm Silver Dollar at the Wort Hotel, Jackson Hole, WY
…featuring Quenby Iandiorio, Kevin Toll, Jason Uhlmann and Brian Kennedy

This week Sean Devine hits the studio in Gardiner with Fred Baker to lay down some guitar tracks in the song we’re featuring this week —> ‘Baby Let Me Go’

You tell me that you want me – Baby, I don’t know
You say you’ll take me higher – then you leave me ..oh, so… low
You leave me ..oh, so… low!
Oh Baby, let me go – don’t leave me low!

So… we’re going to let Quenby go to Austin… as long as she returns to Montana! (So excited for the new album! Believe me we will not be left feelin’ low!)

Don’t forget (Jackson fans…) if you hear ‘Baby Let Me Go’ at the Wort, and let Quenby know you’ve read this blog, FREE coozie for youzie!

XOXO Heidi aka SuperFan

okay… okay… here’s a bit of video foreshadowing for next week and from tonight at MAP 😉
