I can bring as many people & instruments as you want; Whatever you have in mind. We can load up some fun for a last minute surprise or we can book well in advance. We're mighty flexible if we think there's gonna be fun.... For us AND everyone who joins us!
They had a last minute surprise, so a few bites and 20 minutes later, we ended up playing for a couple hours unplugged.
You had to be there to enjoy it fully, but turn the sound up and you can pick up the most important thing to (not) do when you whip out that phone to shoot videos of live music...
THE FINE PRINT (LITERALLY)
I spent the next thirty-something years working mainly in small towns and working as a high school teacher, coach, student dean, technology coordinator, and principal. Most of the time I had a guitar, but it only got out of the corner maybe once a month or so for a few minutes. I looked at it a lot, thinking that one of these days....
When I retired, my wife and I went to a restaurant to see if their Muffaletta was any good. They were having an open mic and picking circle with some pretty entertaining characters. It's been pretty much a blur since then. Started playing in front of people and ran into a lot of folks I never should have, but I couldn't have planned things better if I'd have tried.
Now I send a few emails out every few months to ask people to look at this web page and give me a holler if they'd let me do it at their place. I met several people who agree to play with me and I'm still wondering why. They are all real musicians who've been playing pretty much forever; I'd put them up against anyone who's playing these days in Northwest Arkansas. Sooner or later they're bound to figure out they don't need me, but until then....
"Git In The Truck" is not just the name of a band; It's our mode of operation. Everyone has other things they're involved in and/or jobs that make it impossible to get together regularly, so we gather when we can. Sometimes GITT is a duet and sometimes a five piece group. I'm the only one who's at every show. My job is to bang on my guitar, sing, and shut up so the rest of them can go to work with whatever instruments they brought. I'm pretty sure I could take these folks and make a lot more money, but that will most likely never happen since it's impossible to make long-range plans that fit for everyone. Besides, that's not why any of us are doing this anyway.
I understand that I'm an average singing and playing old fart, and I won't be doing this for a long time. It's just fun, so I'll try to keep the truck rolling a little while longer. When it's not fun any more, I'll have some stuff to sell.
Book the perfect fit for music and fun at your event! From any number from one to five people and a wide variety of music; A little country, a little blues, a little rock.
Original music, cover tunes, or a mix - whatever you want
Sound systems for any setting, whether it's inside, outside, large, or small
If it sounds fun, there's a good chance we'll probably do it!
So far I/we have played at:
-restaurants - bars - hotel balconies - coffee shops - eclipse festivals - fundraisers - cookouts - farmer's markets - weddings - rehearsal dinners - elopement party - grand openings - business anniversaries - deer camps - bike races - corn maze/pumpkin patch - cub scout campout - halloween parties - Christmas parties - birthday parties - nursing homes - assisted living communities - celebration of life reception - Bentonville Testicle Festival - elementary school program
If we can fit in at all of these things, surely we can figure out a combination that will blend in with whatever you have in mind...
We can schedule as last-minute or far ahead as you need and we're very flexible.
If you're in a bind and need something quick, I'll either be available or at the very least be able to help you find someone else who's the right fit...
