Hukilau Wrap-up, On To Belgium!

Hey All! Sorry for the delay in following up with details about Ape’s show with Billy Mure Friday night at the Hukilau in Florida a week ago. After a searing pure Ape set, Billy came up and we launched into Supersonic with him, which, believe it or not, he’s never performed live. His career was focused on writing, arranging, and recording in the studio and he never took a band on the road. Well, from what I was told, he had a grin from ear to ear the whole set sitting up in the middle of the stage with Ape surrounding him, rockin’ his songs like he’s probably never heard them before. Several folks filmed the show, so we look forward to the footage. The whole night was a pleasant surprise, a great time and adventure, including late night jecuzzi bronco ridin’ on an empty cooler . . .

Some beach time on Saturday, then an acoustic Ape set at the Mai Kai at night, followed by an unbelievable dinner and several other bands. Ape was happy to perform for all the Hukilau goers from around the country, many whom had never seen us live before, and we met so many nice folks . . . Thanks!
