Great show. Lots of dancing and joy.
Though this was the second encore, the solo version of Release was the most powerful song of the set. Yes please. Need some of this.
Rock and roll ending.

First a story of the lighting through the photography of Amy Barley.

And that is how you turn the sun.
Things looked pretty much like this before we started
Then there were several undocumented hours in the river with the special beer float courtesy of Aubrey. We’re still not sure where he is.
The most popular guest of all was baby Cora. (Yes, that is the three McGraw brothers in kilts.)

This shot by my brother walt (at his first solstice) is one of my favorites.
From the bridge
Spectacular
When the fire burned down enough to get within 100 feet, we started the music.

Joel Winstead created some great sketches in real time.

The the thunderstorm moved in around 11pm and we shifted the music to the barn. We played until 4am. What a joy.

What’s the best way to celebrate birthday 52? With a show in New Hampshire of course. Where’s Aubrey played a show in the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire for a receptive audience at the Mole Hill Theater. As always, we played a benefit performance, this time for the LEAF (nutritious lunch) program of a public charter school operating out of the same revamped machine shop where we played the show.

A machine
We played our sets right next to a huge blue machine. Not sure what it actually used to do. Stamp out complete cars??

The show was high energy and fun, one of the best we’ve played.

What kind of stuff does it take to play an acoustic act??
the stage
Well, to be fair, we played our two set show. Then after a break we electrified the whole thing with drums, bass, and electric guitar. The LEAF Cutters were born. Dancing happened. Much fun was had.

A message from Rhine
Dear Friends and Music Lovers –
Because you and so many others turned out last Saturday night, we not only had a total blast playing music, we raised $1250 for the healthy lunches program at the LEAF school through donations at the door. The silent auction brought in another $1000, so the event truly was a smashing success!
And, you were a wonderful audience to play for. So, we’re sending our heartfelt thanks. Hope to see you at another music event before too long!

We played a show last year. Hah. OK, last year was only 7 days ago, but it’s true. During the show, we dropped a new CD called “diversion” which you can order for yourself. Have a listen to our favorite track!
BTW, the super delicious cover art is by Eli McGraw.
Collectively, we raised $1181 for Habitat for Humanity’s work in Clarke County, bringing Where’s Aubrey’s all concert total to $15,662.
The concert was a blast to play. Here are some pictures. In each set, we started out with only two people on stage, Gary McGraw on violin and Rhine Singleton on guitar.

Eventually (during both sets) we were joined by stunt guitarist Allen Kitselman and drummer Nick Schrenk (both of the Bitter Liberals).

The highlight of the evening for us was honoring our biggest fan and long time Berryville arts supporter Michael Hobert. Here’s what I said about Michael from the stage.

Here’s looking at you Robyn.
Yes, you.
Psychedelically speaking, that is.
The show was held in Annapolis at the Ram’s Head with a capacity crowd on a Saturday afternoon. The time feel in the venue is set to “Vegas.” Could be most anytime but definitely night time, even at 1:00pm. The food does not suck even though the ditzy waitresses are way too loud.
Robyn played a handful of the songs on the great new self-titled record. Buy it for yourself.
And some old favorites that the crowd adored.
mug sans portal
By far the most amusing and entertaining part of the show was the “free part,” that being the part with the banter. We had to pay for the music part. Worth every post-Brexit penny.
Did I already say Robyn played some of the songs on the great new self-titled record? Well he did.
Then there was this.

Catch the tour if you can.
