Evergreen or Bust: Road Blog! (Day 1)

"On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the road again." It's as true today as when Willie Nelson sang it in 1980. A band on the road is a beautiful thing and the Empty Pockets are excited to be back in the game. Colorado here we come!

We started the day off with a rocking good show at the Landshark Beer Garden at Navy Pier. Thanks to Crystal and the whole staff at Navy Pier for helping us put on a great show and thanks to everybody that boogied with us at the Landshark Beer Garden stage. Rock on!






So what do the Pockets do after rocking a show at Navy Pier? Why, pile into the van and drive to Colorado, of course! We're headed out to Evergreen, Colorado for the Evergreen Lakes Presents Summer Concert series [ link ] and the first leg of the tour took us to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. So we drove... and drove some more.


On our way out of Illinois, we hazard a stop for food in Moline, wondering what madness we may find. Much to our surprise, we stumbled upon an incredible German restaurant named Bier Stube. The food was authentic and delicious and the beers were delightful. If you ever find yourself in the area of the Quad Cities with a hunger for some wurst, stop in at Bier Stube. [ link ]

Tomorrow, it's time to head off the North Platte, Nebraska. Allons-y!
