11/07/08 - The holidays are coming and you have four chances to see and hear the Book of Days band. We are playing twice at the Logon - both Saturdays after Thanksgiving & Christmas. We are also playing a couple of special engagements - "Girls Night Out" at the Civic Center for the Junior League's Main Street Market from 6-8pm on Thursday, December 4th. We are also opening for Nashville's Walt Wilkins at Courville's at 7pm on Wednesday, December 18th. Hope to see you there!
9/25/08 - THIS SATURDAY'S SHOW IS ON! We originally scheduled to play the Logon Cafe on Saturday, Sep 27 at 8:30pm....before the hurricane. Well, the Logon is back open and we need a little release, as I am sure most of you do as well. Join us this Saturday at 8:30pm at the Logon Cafe for music, friends, and a something other than eating MREs, pricing whole-house generators online, and cleaning up debris in your yard.
8/20/08 - Hey gang! Hope everyone had a great summer. The band is getting back into the swing of things and looking forward to a fun fall of performances. Our first as a full band will be Saturday, Sep 27th at the Logon Cafe. In the meantime, check out Russ and Will opening for Dana Cooper at the Logon on Friday, Aug 22nd at 8:00pm....that's this Friday! Hope to see you there!
5/01/08 - Thanks to all who came out to the Logon last Saturday. We had a great time as usual and hope you did too! We play our last show of the season at SUGA's in downtown Beaumont on Saturday, May 31st at 8:30pm. If you haven't been, it is a great venue and should be a fun night. The 31st is the Saturday AFTER Memorial Day - the kids should be out of school and summer will be on the way. We hope you decide to kick it off with us at SUGA's.
4/18/08 - We sure enjoyed the incredible treat of getting to open for a true Texas songwriting (and performing) talent, Bruce Robison. He and his brother Charlie, who have roots in the area, sure have the Texas music scene surrounded. Bruce is married to the talented Kelly Willis and Charlie is married to Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks. It was an absolute treat to play and hear Bruce at Courville's - I hope we can do it again!
3/09/08 - WOW! What a crowd we had at Suga's last week. Even though Russ lost his voice and we had some sound problems, that was quite possibly the best audience we have ever played in front of. Thanks for making it such a great event. See you next Friday, March 14th, at the Logon. We are dedicating all proceeds from the show to Torchy (a great friend of the band and real asset to Beaumont!) to help her get through the loss of her house in a recent fire. Book of Days is "carrying the Torch"! See you there.
2/08/08 - Check out the EVENTS tab - our next event is Friday, February 29th, 8pm at Suga's in downtown Beaumont so please make a note of the change and put it on your calendar. This is a first class music venue in Beaumont. If you haven't had the chance to check out their upstairs club. Our March date at the Logon is not confirmed now so if you want to see the Book of Days, you have to make the 2/29 gig at Suga's or risk waiting until April 26th!
1/15/08 - We closed out 2007 with a couple of holiday gigs at the Logon. Thanks to all who made it out and made it fun. We are kicking off 2008 at a new venue. Saturday, Feb 23rd, we will be upstair's at SUGA's. For those of you who have not been to SUGA's in downtown Beaumont, it is a terriric space - one of the finest live music venues in the region. And you can get a great dinner before.....make it your Valentine's Day gift! Check out our spring dates in the "Events" tab of this site. Hope to see you there!
10/30/07 - The guys all agreed that our show on October 27th was one of the most fun shows we have ever played. We had a great time. Our friends, family and the new friends we meet through our music are so great - it wouldn't be nearly as fun without you all. We enjoyed introducing some new tunes and hope to do the same next week on Saturday, November 24th, back at the Logon for a Thanksgiving weekend show.
9/14/07 - Check the "Events" tab for upcoming dates and times. We are performing at the LogOn Cafe (Beaumont) the 4th Saturday in Oct, Nov, and Dec. Look forward to seeing you there.
8/25/07 - Well, we are back in town and playing together again after a summer of travelling, fun, a little work, and some vacation. No firm dates yet, but check back soon - we are working on some things and should know soon. Don't give up on us yet!
7/14/07 - Thanks to all those who made it out to hear 2/5 of the Book of Days band (Russ & Will) open for the legendary Dana Cooper last night. What a treat it was - Dana is a classy guy and a very talented singer, songwriter and guitar player. You should all pick up his latest CD "Made of Mud". It has quickly become a favorite of ours. Thanks to the great crowd and to Dana for letting us share the stage with him.
4/07/07 - What a great CD release we had. It felt like a record crowd and it sure seemed like you all were enjoying yourselves. You can bet we were. What a blast it has been to be in the studio this spring and then get to share it with our friends and fans. Thanks to Jason Spencer and the LogOn Cafe for helping it be such a success. Thanks to the great expertise of Danny Broussard at SETEX Records for making the CD happen. See you all in the fall. Have a great summer!
3/01/07 - We have a new bass player!! Terry Bourdier, an accomplished musician, band director, arranger, and performer for four decades, has joined the Book of Days band. Terry is also a member of the Louisiana Entertainment Hall of Fame. Come out and hear why we are so excited to have him aboard.
