Hi all,

It's sure been a busy summer so far...Lots of events upcoming for The Mandy McMillan Band. I'd be remiss if I didn't take a moment to thank the very fine folks at the Wabamun Hotel. On a stormy Friday night when we were denied the chance to play at the Waterfront Park in Wabamun, they took us in and gave us a stage to play on. What a blast we had!! We're grateful for that and for the chance to make some new friends in the process.

We've been playing a few private functions recently and have bookings coming up from Hinton to Valleyview to Hughenden and points between. Keep a lookout for upcoming gig announcements.

We hope your bar-b-q is hot, your drinks cold and your mosquito repellent plentiful!

See you soon!

Two amazing crowds in back to back visists to The Beer Hunter have given us plenty of reason to say Thank You to everyone who came out. It's been brought to our attention that word of mouth is starting to spread and we are getting a bit of a reputation as a decent live band. :) May we always live up to that.

As a group we are continually flattered by the well wishes and positive comments from everyone who we've had the good fortune to cross paths with. Thanks to you all! It really does mean a lot to each of us and has given us all a bit of a spark to try and raise the bar a little more each time we play...

My biggest shout out of the day goes out to Mandy herself...We've just learned that she has bronchial pneumonia and still powered through a couple of amazing shows... What a trooper! She can barely talk this week but we'll still be lighting up Wabamun on Friday evening! Look for us at 8:00 at Lakefront Park...

Cheers,

Darren

Last night, I kicked it hard with the band
It was wild and crazy, tequila shots, sore hands
Hitting the drums with a fury, keeping the beat
Sweat coming down, broken sticks at my feet

The second of two nights, small crowd in the bar
Rowdy family and friends, here to see the star
The room is cooking, feel the heat on my back
Pants and shirt come off, sweat down to my sack

We play all the sets, four in total
Tequila shots come fast, survival is my goal
I make it through with very little damage
But my head feels like the drum of a savage

The night goes well, everyone tells us so
It's a bittersweet one, 'cause it's the last show
The star is taking a trip and a chance
To make a go in Nashville at the big dance

We all wish her well, as she plans out her trip
Over the last little while, we've built a great friendship
To the star, we say "Be all you can be!"
And please send us the photos that we have yet to see

Sure had a great time in Leduc last night. We were fortunate enough to be invited to play the exhibitors party during the Leduc Chamber of Commerce Home & Leisure Expo and were able to see some old friends and make some new ones and hopefully we've opened an exciting new door for our band!  

Big thanks to George at Shades Lounge for sponsoring our appearance and thanks to Kirk at Leduc Radio for making us feel welcome, talking us up and putting a sweet stage together for us to play on!

Please don't forget to mark your calendars, The Mandy McMillan Band will be back out in Leduc at Shades on November 12 & 13 so it would be awesome to have you join us!

Have an awesome weekend!

Hello Mandy fans!

I hope everyone is getting settled into their fall routines with school - work - sports etc. taking up a lot of your time, you can rest assured that your favorite band is hard at work and ready to take on the fall. We're working on some new original material to start playing live and a couple new covers which should fit in nicely! You'll have to come out to hear them!

We've booked a couple of dates back into Shades Lounge in Leduc and we're very pleased to be offered the opportunity to play there again. There are some new clubs coming on line which we are confirming and will have details on those shortly.

We've also been looking for an identifiable logo for our band and have finally got a look at an artists rendition and it looks AWESOME!!! Can't wait for you all to see it, we should be introducing the new look soon, so we hope you'll be as excited about this as we are about it...

Hopefully that's enough to peak your interest and get you out to an upcoming show...Also make sure you join our Facebook fan group: Mandy McMillan FAN!  You'll get all the latest details there and some special Facebook only fan news...

Talk to you soon!
