Fresh off of their one day tour of Tempe, AZ this past week, The Chadwicks will be rolling back into Scottsdale this Friday for a performance at Martini Ranch. We checked in with them during the long drive to see how they’re feeling.
“Being on the road is always tough,” stated The ‘Wicks spunky guitarist, Dallan Baumgarten. “You miss home. Even in Tempe, there was like, a totally different area code and everything. We’re just so excited to get back to the best fans that any band could hope for. Tempe’s great and all, but Scottsdale is where we feel the most comfortable.”
Chiseled bassist, John Colby, chimed in, “I couldn’t agree more. The people in Scottsdale are just the most down-to-Earth, real people in the whole world. These are the fans that have been the most loyal to us throughout the years. We owe so much to each and every one of them. These are truly our people.”
“Dallan and John nailed it!” exclaimed leather-lunged lead singer Tim Teal, who was quick to add that “It’s not just the fans. Before the tour bus had even pulled out of Tempe, we were already salivating at the thought of having tuna poke from our favorite old town restaurant, Drift.”
Hard hitting drummer, Gary Sanchez, who walked in midway through the interview, took exception to Tim’s comment. “I think I’m partial to the cheese steaks at Philadelphia Sandwich Company.”
Following this Friday’s triumphant return to Martini Ranch, what’s next on the horizon for The Chadwicks?
“A very brief hiatus,” replied Teal, “then we’re off to Milwaukee for a couple of shows at Summerfest, where we’ll be opening for Los Lonely Boys and David Lee Roth.”
“It’s true,” elaborated Dallan. “We’ll be drinking a lot of Miller Lite and playing our asses off to several thousand Wisconsinites.”
After pausing reflectively, Dallan added, “But our hearts will always truly be right here in Scottsdale, AZ.”
The Chadwicks play at 10PM this Friday, June 23rd at Martini Ranch on Drinkwater and Stetson.
