The wonderful world of Gussied
Hey all,
Lots of things have been moving fast in the world of Gussied! We've been very busy with playing lots of events over this summer and fall, rehearsing new interpretations of some amazing songs that you're gonna get down to, as well as getting ready for a large number of upcoming weddings set for this spring and summer.
Last week we shot a new music video with Mike Hendzel of Hendzel Productions, assisted by Mikel Pickett of Rooftop Sessions Chicago. We've got a couple of tricks up our sleeve for this video, so stay tuned to our Facebook page to see the video go live. In the meantime, check out more of our videos here.
In other wonderful news, our banjo-mandolin-fiddle-multi-instrumentalist-total-secret-weapon-will-play-anything-extremely-well member of the band, Mr. Randy Mollner, welcomed his new daughter, Roberta, into the world on December 15th! She is unbelievably adorable and we're all extremely excited for him!
Next Sunday, January 26th, we'll be performing at City Winery Chicago for their Bubbly Brunch from 11:30 to 2:30. Admission gets you a glass of champagne and they have a wonderful brunch menu. The weekend following, on Sunday, February 1st, Gussied will be a part of the Indie Wed wedding expo at the Ravenswood Event Center. We'll have a booth where we'll be able to answer any questions you have regarding the band, and later in the day we'll be doing a live performance for the attendees! Finally, a band for lovers wouldn't be complete without a show for lovers, so on Valentine's Day, February 14th, we'll be performing at The Wire in Berwyn. The "Pick Banjos, Not Fights!" show will be alongside Liza Day and Hayward.
We're a bunch of busy Gussieds, but we're having fun while we're at it! See you soon!
Indie Wed Bridal Show - Summer 2013
in Chicago
Gussied was lucky enough to be a part of the Summer 2013 Indie Wed bridal show held in the Bridgeport area of downtown Chicago. While guests waited in line for the doors to open to this extremely fun event, Kevin (guitar) and Randy (fiddle) entertained the brides and grooms to be as they were led into the expo. With our kissing booth set up and pictures being posted to our Instagram account, dozens of couples came by to talk with us, eager to see our music videos and to watch the band perform later that afternoon. We had a great time at the beautiful Zhou B Arts Center and a blast playing for everyone!
