First Time At Applebee's

Rock and Roll Diary

Friday night was my first time performing at a new music venue, Applebee's in Raynham MA. It was a really fun night.

The Venue

Applebee's is the largest casual dining chain in the world, with locations throughout the U.S. and many countries worldwide.

Here is the menu for the Raynham location.

The Show

It's a bit of an adventure when you play a new place for the first time. You don't know exactly what music the folks are expecting or what they are used to hearing. Getting the sound right in a new room can be tricky too. With the early start 8PM and the fact that Applebee's is a family restaurant I started out the show with mellow tunes. As the night when on and I had a chance to take requests from people in the crowd I picked it up and played some more upbeat tunes.

Special People

It is always great to know that you have supporters in the crowd especially playing a new place. I was lucky that there were a number of very special people in the crowd last night.

Returning to Applebee's in Raynham on Friday April 23rd!
