Welcome to the Hoodoo newsletter: the Love Edition. We all know that February is the month for lovers, but the band thinks it shouldn’t be limited to just couples. The month of February, Valentine’s Day in particular, should be a celebration of love in any form, whether it’s love for family, love for friends, love of music, movies, whatever. If you love, celebrate it.

Did you know that in December the Hoodoo had their first fill weekend off in 11 months? No one in the band even noticed until someone’s (who shall remain nameless) girlfriend mentioned it. She had been counting… We all took a little time to finish some home projects, write some new tunes, and do some real slacking for once! Listen for Aaron’s new boogie we call “Ramblin’”, and a deep groove rocker from Z named “Into The Fire”. We have more on the way so keep those ears up!

Now, the Hoodoo don’t normally play New Year’s Eve because we like to party with the rest of the crowd. But this year we made an exception, and only for a place near and dear to us, the Tyranena Brewing Company in Lake Mills, WI. If you have the opportunity to try a Tyranena Brew, we highly recommend it. It was a wild time, with hats on! See for yourself:

The best part of the early year is looking ahead at what’s coming up and what the new year has in store. Some new venue’s we’ve enjoyed or are looking forward to in 2012 – Chicago St. Pub in Joliet, IL; The Gas Lamp in Des Moines, IA; Illinois Brewing Company in Bloomington, IL just to name a few. Of course, we’ll be back to the old haunts too, Intermission and Nicks in WI, Mother Duncan’s in KY, Lamasco’s in IN, and so many more…

Everyone in the band is excited about what 2012 has to offer. We’ll be coming round to your neighborhood as soon as we can get there, and as long as you bring your booty to shake, we’ll bring the good times and booty shaking Blues and Roll. New year, new tunes, new places, new things, we wish all of you a great new year and all good things in 2012. We look forward to seeing all of you face to face. If you don’t see your hometown on the schedule and you know somewhere in town with live music, let us know and we’ll do what we can do bring the party to you. Have a happy 2012 everyone and we’ll see you down the road.
