Let's hear from all you OFF KILTER fans !!!!

[NancyIL]

I asked Tammy (carlyle688) if the guys are working more days, now that the group is scheduled 7 days a week, or if they have subs. She said that Jamie is off W & TH, and the other guys are off F & Sa. It's nice that 4 of them can have a weekend day off again.

Hope we can get some pictures of there replacements.

They have a new keyboard sub for Tony -- I don't know his name but he is from Mulch, Sweat and Shears. All the other subs are their regular guys: David Horvath, Billy Varnes, Mark McDowell, Jeff Schiller, Jason Thomas, Mike Ferguson, Mark Lewis, etc., etc., etc.

Well not sorry I will miss that... this is what I was afraid of.. it's basically two different bands

I saw several shows this past week.

Monday, Jamie was missing and we had Jason. I only saw one show but it was good.

Missed Tuesday and saw one show on Thursday due to rain ( ) Randy was gone Wed and Billy played for him. Very good shows. Did the "Life is a Highway" song which the audience seems to get into. Thursday I saw two shows with the original five! Since the odds are "slim" now that you get all five it was a treat!

Didn't see any of you regulars around......

A shame you missed the weekend shows with 4 subs!

I cancelled my late June trip due to the heat and because I booked a new trip for December! As much as I'd love to hear Off Kilter 7 days a week, I hope they'll be back to a 5-day schedule in the fall. I'd rather hear all 5 play on the same day than have a sub very other day. I also need those 2 Off Kilter-less days so I can go to a different park in the afternoon/evening!

I've been there just about every single day since the summer concerts started so all my days are blending together. I think this past Monday and yesterday (Thurs) were the only two days I missed. But I have been spending just the first show or two at OK, then over to the AGT for the tribute bands.

i was there june 11-15, went and saw them 3 of those days i think. first was thurs...jamie was missing, the other 4 were there. mike was on the fiddle. and um, i got to fiddle, it was awesome!

i was disappointed that jamie wasn't there, but getting to fiddle totally made up for it!

went again friday...jamie plus 4 stand-ins. i only recognized billy. didn't catch the rest of their names

then i went again sunday, and only tony was missing. had billy on as extra guitar instead

love these guys. but really like it best when they're all there...

Well that explains it... I am not even getting there until the late shows


Hopefully we will connect on my next visit!
(And the heat wasn't as bad as the rain.....)

Sat. June 13th. The only regular was Jaime. And when did they become 6 and not 5? They did sound good but it's not the same without the originals. When are all the original band members all there together?

There are still only 5, but occasionally they'll have a 6th person. I don't know if that's intentional or a scheduling goof!

The other day for the first show, they only had four: Mark, Billy Varnes, Scotty and Tony. They only played three songs and then ended the set. By the second show, Randy and Mike Ferguson showed up. They sounded really good. I love it when Mike is there --- he's so entertaining (in addition to being a great fiddle/guitar player).

Just goes to show - even with 4 excellent musicians, you need a bagpipe or a fiddle player.

The set was quite short the one day there was NO lead guitar player. He didn't arrive until the second set! Just goes to show - even with 4 excellent musicians, you REALLY need a lead guitar player!

Wow - almost a month since someone last posted, and that someone was me!

Off Kilter is back to performong 5 days a week - Sunday through Thursday. I was hoping they would keep the Wednesday through Sunday schedule, but I imagine they like having 2 weekend days off.

 

[marsh0013]

ugh, that means i only have 2 days to see them on my trip in october! might have to rework the itinerary...

 

[Ron from Michigan]

Only 119 days to we see Off Kilter again.
