We were invited out on February 22 to play a fundraiser for Danville Oaks Rugby at the Danville Grange.
This was the Drop Daddies’ first time playing at the Grange. This place has some history! It was built in 1874. The Museum Of The San Ramon Valley writes:
Our buddy and event coordinator extraordinaire, Jimmy Wong, arranged a block party for his homeowners association in Canyon Park on October 28, and invited us to play.
This was our third year participating in the Danville July 4 parade, and it was our best parade experience yet!
Hard to believe this was our 6th year playing Norm’s Grill St. Patrick’s Day event! We were out on the back patio as usual, but no tent this year. We were watching the doppler all morning and mother nature wasn’t cooperating. Our 3pm start time was delayed by hail, downpours and a thunderstorm.
On February 23, we returned to INC 82 Brewery in Dublin for a fun night of brews and rock n roll. INC 82 has a great vibe, and it we packed the house – great to see so many friends!
It was a monster mash- a graveyard bash… The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds- Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds. The coffin-bangers were about to arrive with their vocal group, – the Drop Daddies!
5:30am is an early call-time for a gig – these sure ain’t rock n roll hours! But for a cause as worthy as finding a cure for Alzheimer’s, the Drop Daddies are in. This was our 4th year participating in the Walnut Creek Walk to End Alzheimer’s , and it was an honor to be invited. They were expecting a record turnout of thousands, and raised over half a million dollars for Alzheimer’s research.
Jen invited us to help her celebrate her 50th on September 20. We were set up on the pickleball court in a huge Danville backyard.
We were invited to play August 20 at a block party for the Diablo West Homeowner’s Association. We set up on a beautiful green hillside in Danville on a gorgeous sunny day.
