This was our 5th year playing the St Patrick’s Day party at Norm’s Grill in Danville. It was a different kind of party compared to previous years– this time it was on a Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon, and it was off… the… hook!!

On February 4, 2017, we played the final Saturday-night party at the Outpost in San Ramon.  We were there to celebrate over 4 years together as the Drop Daddies, and to honor the end of this memorable watering hole. On Tuesday, after 40 years in business, the Outpost will be closing its doors forever, soon to be demolished to make way for apartments.

On November 12, 2016, we celebrated Ian’s 50th birthday and his retirement from the FAA as an air traffic controller.

The Bridges Country Club is a beautiful venue, and we had a blast partying with Ian and his family, friends, and soon-to-be-ex coworkers.

It was a gorgeous sunny October day- perfect for a Fall Carnival. This was our fourth year playing the Twin Creeks Elementary school carnival, and it was a blast, as always.

The Twin Creeks Elementary Chorus (under the direction of Ms Terri Knight) sang a set with us, including Lonely Boy, Surfin Safari, California Sun, Animal and (their favorite) Radioactive.  Great job kids!

 

October 1, 2016 was our 3rd time being involved in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s event at Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek.  We are always honored to participate in such a worthy cause.  It’s a moving, emotional day for everyone- and we’re there to respect and remember, to celebrate strength , and to lift spirits with some rock and roll!
