We have to admit that it’s true: Our last Big Mess update was February 2019!! That must totally be why we’re neither rich nor famous. So instead of more apologies, here is a bit of what’s been going on:

This 2021 summer (without doing extensive research into our past performances) has been (we believe) the busiest that we have ever ever been! Performances for Crimson Coast Dance, Downtown Nanaimo Business Association, a couple of shows for Duncan’s 39 Days of July Music Festival, lots of private parties on Vancouver Island… and some really fun busking, too.

Last Saturday, we played at the Downtown Nanaimo Farmer’s Market. It happened to be quite rainy and cool, but we merely added layers of clothing as needed. Gitsula Galapagos Galadriel Ghiscari (Kyle’s Most Adorable Dog) (The Big Mess Mascot) snuggled most of the time under the covers in her Git’s Bed. While we were packing up afterwards, I said to Kyle, “Hey, I wanted to be very careful not to jinx anything while we were playing, but I think that was the absolute best that we’ve ever played together!!!” Kyle said,”Yeah dad, I noticed that you kept playing some really interesting things during your solos!” “Oh Kyle, you totally, too. That’s why I think that it was so good!”

So what’s happening musically with The Big Mess???? Please wait for the next EXCITING episode…
