PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

 

E’TOWN EXPRESS, an old school rock and roll band based in the Adirondack Region of Upstate NY, will release its first original music CD on July 19, 2008 at the Krazy Horse Saloon, 14 Margaret St., Plattsburgh, NY. Festivities will commence at 8 pm.

“FIRST FIVE TRACKS…” (© 2008 Rob Pulsifer) is a five-song EP packed with guitar-driven songs penned by lead singer/guitarist Rob Pulsifer and inspired by North Country people and places. These five songs are released now to satisfy fans who have yearned to take home a memento of the live-show experience generated by the “most fan-friendly stage show in the Adirondack/Saratoga/Capital District Region” over the past nine years. E’TOWN EXPRESS is already back in the studio recording seven more original songs to be combined with the first five for a full length CD targeted for release around January 1, 2009. That release will be accompanied by a major tour.

For Band Info, check www.etownexpress.com, or call (518) 587-9105.

E’TOWN EXPRESS is proudly presented by Budweiser.

Hey Kids! A busy summer is on the way. A couple of things you may want to
know:

- We will be taking a 4 week break after the Krazy Horse Saloon shows on May
16 and 17 for medical reasons. Don't worry; no one's dying! I (Rob Pulsifer)
need to go under the knife for one of those little surgical things that we
all face at one time or another. No biggy, I'll be back and better than ever
in no time! In fact, I'll back in the saddle for the show (we'll call it the
"Recovery Party") at the Glass Moon Tavern in Mechanicville, NY on Friday,
June 13, 2008!

- Please note that our traditional "Anniversary Show" at the Wooden Nickel
in Elizabethtown, NY has been postponed. We will celebrate the band's 9th Anniversary (and my birthday-August 1) on Saturday, August 2, 2008 at the Wooden Nickel.

- Concert Announcement!

Following the release of "FIRST FIVE TRACKS...", studio work will continue on additional original material that will be combined with the first five songs to constitute a full-length CD that will be complete and available around January 1, 2009 (special note to our loyal fans: the recording process has been expensive, so we ask that you support the band's recording efforts by purchasing the CD upon release; unfortunately, we cannot rcoup recording expenses if fans ask for free copies of the CD-thanks for the help).

Everything came together in a spectacular way for a successful

"Wilton Community Day"

EXCEPT FOR THE WEATHER!!! It rained, and it rained, and it rained some more. And then,

when the skies seemd to lighten up a little, IT RAINED SOME MORE!

 

No biggie, E'TOWN EXPRESS and our musician comrades played three energetic sets for

hearty souls that braved the weather. We want to extend thanks from each and every member

of the band as follows:

 

Town of Witon Supervisor Arthur Johnson and all Town employees who provided the

means and the support for a terrific community event

 

Wilton Park & Recreation Director Steve Porto for organizing and managing an

event that seems poised to grow during the next few years

 

Cliff Seguin and everyone at Operation Adopt-A-Soldier for their efforts on behalf

of our troops

 

Singer/Guitarist Jesse Ashdown; he braved weather and power

problems to deliver a quality acoustic performance

 

The members of "Gravity"; we enjoyed working with them and we hope to work

with them again in the future

 

Everyone else involved with providing this wonderful event

 

But most of all, thank you to those members of our die-hard fan-base that defied the rain,

the cold, the wind, and the lack of hot chocolate to support their favorite band! We play for you, always.

 

As an adjunct member of the band, it's his job to support us through whatever we face. Even so,

I want specifically mention the heroic measures taken by our sound engineer, Ryan Ghent,

to brainstorm and problem-solve all day long while we experienced dampness and power issues.

Your professionalism shined through the gloomy weather.

 

Again, thank you from all of the members of E'TOWN EXPRESS.

Hey folks:

 

ETX has a major concert event coming up. We'll be at

Gavin Park in Wilton, NY for the Wilton Community Day

Festival on May 19, 2007.

 

The event has been held for the past couple of years for

the benefit of "Adopt-A-Soldier, Inc." These folks send

packages to our troops in Iraq and Afganistan so that

the boys know they have supporters at home.

 

The festivities begin at 1 pm. Imagine a county fair

scaled to "town" size. There will be carnival rides,

food vendors, sporting events, arts & crafts, music,

etc. Check out

http://www.townofwilton.com/pdfs/CommunityDay2007.pdf 

for the official event poster.

And visit http://www.townofwilton.com/ to learn about

the Town of Wilton.

 

How do you get to Gavin Park? Get off Exit 15 of the

Northway (I-87) and head west towards downtown

Saratoga Springs. At the first traffic light after the

Northway, take a right onto Gick Road. Gick Road

eventually changes into Jones Road. Go a couple

of miles and just look for the entrance to Gavin Park.

 

The music schedule looks like this:

 

3:15 pm – 1st Opening Act – Jesse Ashdown,

Solo Acoustic Performer

 

4:45 pm – 2nd Opening Act – Gravity, Rock Band

 

6:30 pm – E’TOWN EXPRESS  

-------------  Headliner Band ---------------

 

Followed by Fireworks (approx. 8:30 pm, depending

on daylight conditions)

 

Event planners expect between 4,000-5,000 people.

Please come and join us in our support of the troops.

 

Zyzzy

When the bios are revised for the new, updated website, I'll introduce you to the rest of the new line-up...

ETX fans got a two-fer this past weekend at Cocktails in Plattsburgh (Morrisonville), NY. The boys slammed out back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday nights. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our North Country fans (especially those from the E'Town area) that showed up in droves to support the "Express"! Our success is your success.

Big thanks to Scott, Vanessa and the entire crew (Forgive me if I forget some of the names - Chris, DJ, Alicia, Larry, Richard, Tanya) for welcoming the band with open arms and treating us like family.

Check out the "Schedule" on the website. We've added a year's-worth of shows at Cocktails. We've also added a couple more North Country shows. Stay tuned; we're about to add some more Saratoga/Capital Region shows.

E'town Express thanks Jerry Byrne, owner of the Trail at the Potash Inn, for inviting us to play. In spite of a snow storm, ETX fans forged their way to Lake Luzerne for the show.
 

ETX is stretching its boundaries by playing at Jillian's in Albany on Friday, March 10th, and then trekking all the way to the Lakeview Pavillion in Champlain, NY (On the Canadian border) on Saturday March 11th.
 

On Saturday, March 18th, E'town Express pulls into the home port in Elizabethtown for a St. Patrick's Day party at the Wooden Nickel; Don't forget to wear your green!

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


2/9/06

E'TOWN EXPRESS and the Rolling Stone Pub & Grill in Burnt Hills; always a winning combination.

Thank you to Karen and Gordy, owners of the Rolling Stone P&G, for always welcoming ETX with open arms - we love you guys. The guys in the band have unofficially dubbed the Rolling Stone P&G the "Wooden Nickel of the South". For the uninitiated, the Wooden Nickel is the North Country home and official birthplace of E'TOWN EXPRESS.

Upcoming shows are on the Schedule, including: Jillian's - Albany, NY on Friday February, 10, 2006 and Burleigh House, Ticonderoga, NY on Saturday, February, 11, 2006. ETX is now expanding the schedule; check back frequently for new shows.

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


1/29/06

The boys made their way back to the Parting Glass in Saratoga Springs on Friday, January 27, to a standing-room only crowd. A lot of old friends were there, along with a pile of new friends.

Thank you to Sue and the rest of the gang at the Parting Glass for their warm welcome and graciousness (maybe I can get Sue to sing with me next time!). We extend a special thanks to sound man Ryan Ghent for his expert hand (and ears) at the controls; he made ETX sound great.

Check the website schedule for upcoming and newly-added shows, including:

Saturday, February 4, 9 pm at the Rolling Stone Pub & Grill in Burnt Hills, NY Saturday, February 11, 9 pm at the Burleigh House in Ticonderoga, NY.

E'TOWN EXPRESS ALL NIGHT!!!
Here's the great part... The price is $25 in advance; $30 at the door! (

North Country and other out-of-town fans be advised; there is a motel within spitting distance of the Rolling Stone. The Oak Grove Motel (518) 399-5284 has plenty of rooms available RIGHT NOW!

Check-in is at 1 pm. The band has already reserved rooms at the motel! We're looking forward to a late evening.

I've already spoke to several folks from the E'Town area who are willing to car pool, share rooms, etc. Make plans now! See you there!

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


11/29/05

Yeah, I know it's been a while since I've provided a News Update. We've been zooming with all the changes.

Steve Smith is now firmly entrenched as the
ETX frontman, and the fan response to him has been tremendous. The guys in the band kinda like him, too.

We just completed a most bodacious two-show stretch at the Rolling Stone in Burnt Hills, NY. Karen, Gordy and the local fans have been so good to us that we have dubbed the Rolling Stone the "Wooden Nickel" of the south!

We'll be back at the Rolling Stone on New Year's Eve. Here's the deal: Buffet at Midnight - Champagne Toast - Noise Makers & Party Hats - Budweiser & Bud Light Specials - AND
E'TOWN EXPRESS ALL NIGHT!!!

Here's the great part... The price is $25 in advance; $30 at the door! ETX fans who came to the New Year's Eve Show last year paid $120 per couple. In comparison, this is a spectacular value! Tickets can be obtained in advance as follows:

Call Robert W. Pulsifer, Esq. at 518-587-9105.

North Country fans be advised; there is a motel within spitting distance of the Rolling Stone. I've already spoke to folks who are willing to car pool, share rooms, etc. Let's make plans now!

Some of you may have noticed a new button on the website called "
StreETX". The band is now forming a "Street Team". Many of you know what this is; for those who don''t, here goes...

A"Street Team" consists of fans who are willing to help the band with little odd jobs and tasks from time to time. A great example of this was at the Beach Party Show at the Wooden Nickel in E'Town in August. The night before that show, the band played at Big Bobby Brown's BBQ in Saratoga and couldn't be in E'Town to decorate at the Wooden Nickel. So, our "informal" Street Team of Liza, Linda, Lori (I apologize that I can't remember everyone who was there) and others went to the Wooden Nickel and decorated the place for us. That was tremendously helpful, and their efforts made the show great.

Now, we want to develop a more formal Street Team of folks that we can rely on consistently (or in a pinch). Sorry, there's no pay, but there will be occasional benefits, like t-shirts, hats, thongs, drinks on the band's tab, and admission passes. And of course, our undying gratitude.

Regular tasks will include putting up flyers, helping expand the mailing list, and assisting with other general publicity stuff. Occasionally, there will be decorating duties. Soon, there will be the possibility of traveling with and assisting the band on road-trips (I guarantee that road-trips will not be "all work and no play").

If you want to be part of the Street Team, email me (Zyzzy) at etownexpress@hotmail.com or call me at my office at 518-587-9105. Thank you in advance from the band.

ETX will be at the Burleigh House on December 3 and at Jillian's in Albany on December 10. See you there.

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


11/2/05

Halloween 2005 exploded at the Wooden Nickel with ETX taking the stage dressed as KISS. The usual assortment of ghouls and goblins populated the place, but two of our favorite fans went above and beyond the call of duty on their costumes. Char and Tisha made their own "E'TOWN EXPRESS" Cheerleader costumes, and they looked GREAT! They may have earned themselves a starring role in the upcoming video...

Even though his true identity was hidden by the make-up, Steve Smith made his Wooden Nickel debut as the lead singer for
ETX. We'll be getting some au natural photos (I mean without KISS make-up!) of Steve on the website soon.

Our next public show is November 26, 2005 at the Rolling Stone in Burnt Hills, NY. See you there.

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


10/26/05

Don't forget - ETX will host the Wooden Nickel Halloween Party on Saturday, October 29, 2005 dressed as KISS! See you there.

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


10/8/05

E'TOWN EXPRESS will be conducting a Live Rehearsal at the home station, The Wooden Nickel in E'Town, on Saturday, October 22, 2005. Along with the musical rehearsal, there will be a photo shoot, sound and video recording, and a merchandise review. FANS ARE WELCOME!!! There is no cover charge! Come to the Nickel to get a "Behind the Scenes" look at the band working on new material
and fitting in new players.

AND... you will certainly find yourself on the website "Fan Pics", and you may even end up appearing on our upcoming video! The rehearsal will begin between 5-6 pm. We hope to see you there!

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


8/13/05

The website's being overhauled as I type this! Keep checking back to see the new stuff.

The Summer Beach Party at the Wooden Nickel was spectacular! Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts AND MARY'S BIKINI ON STAGE WITH ETX (Check "Photos")! Does it get any better than this? Thank you to THE EXPRESSETTES for decorating the place, and thank you to Scott LeDuc for singing a couple of songs (he really loves those Brown-Eyed Girls!).

Thank you to the Birthday Boy and the gang at Big Bobby Brown's BBQ for a great time on Friday, August 5. I encourage everyone to stop in for dinner. The BBQ food is great, especially the pulled pork!

ETX closed down Club Caroline during the "Hats Off" celebration in Saratoga on July 30. We were the last band to grace the stage before the building was sold. We played CC consistently for about four years, and we're going to miss it. Thank you to Eric, Sue, Frank, Tammy and all of the employees for treating us so well over the years.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

It was a hot Saturday night at the Parting Glass in Saratoga, and the
place was jammed. Dan Gale fronted the band for another show, and he sang as great as ever. Thanks, Dan (Brad will be back for our next show at Palmer Falls Pub & Grill in Corinth on Friday, July 15).

Thank you to Linda DiBlasio, Bill Moseman and the gang at the Parting Glass for everything; we'll be back soon.

There were a lot of new faces at this show. Thank you to the new fans who attended - check out Fan Pics to see if you're there. Also, check the schedule for upcoming shows.

As always, thank you to our loyal regular fans; we're nothing without you.

And a special mention for the gang from the Rolling Stone Pub & Grill who came all the way to the Parting Glass - you guys are crazy!!! (especially Stephanie?) Thank you and remember that we'll be back at the Rolling Stone Pub & Grill on Saturday, July 16.

I'd like to say a personal thank you to all the folks who come up and talk to me between sets. I love to talk to you guys. The problem is, I don't get enough time between sets to say hi to everybody. Send me a message on the Message Board, or send me an email at etownexpress@hotmail.com. I'll answer 'em all!

Technical Note: Rob Jr. is planning an overhaul to the website. Stay
tuned for the upgrade.

Until next time...

Hot, sweaty, blistering, steaming... And that was just the weather! ETX returned home to the Wooden Nickel on a sweltering summer night when the weather was as hot as the ladies for our 6th Anniversary Show.

Dan Gale was back as frontman for this show, and he'll be with us at the Parting Glass on June 24. He's helping us out while Brad's in Florida for family purposes. Dan is singing better than ever, and he slid right back into the line-up like he never left.

Mucho thanks to our pro sound consultant, Ryan Ghent.
ETX has just upgraded our entire sound system, and Ryan was on hand to make sure it was assembled and tweaked to optimum standards. He made us sound great! - Thanks Ryan!

Thank you to our North Country fans. ETX was born at the Wooden Nickel in E'Town six years ago, and you guys have been as loyal and supportive as any band could ask for. You're the greatest, and we love you all.

Our August 6 show at the Wooden Nickel will be a "Beach Party". Keep checking the webssite for upcoming details.

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)


6/5/05

We recently ran a semi-formal poll on the Message Board and in person asking ETX fans for ideas for an out-of-the-ordinary event at an upcoming Wooden Nickel show. Ideas ranged from beach parties to toga parties.

The beach party idea seems to be the most popular. At this time, it's probably too late to let all of our fans know so that they can dress the part at the Anniversary Show at the Wooden nickel on June 11, 2005.

So, let's make it official - the August 6, 2005 Wooden Nickel show shall be an

E'TOWN EXPRESS BEACH PARTY!

- Fans are encouraged to wear Hawaiian shirts, bikini's, flip-flops, straw hats, scuba gear, and anything else beach-related.

- Props are cool; bring your sand pails and shovels, suntan oil (to be
applied to the ladies by the guys in the band), white stuff on (not in)
your nose, beach balls, etc.

- We will need volunteers to decorate (and undecorate) the Wooden Nickel into a beach-side tropic paradise. Volunteers can post here or email to etownexpress@hotmail.com.

- We'll come up with some suitable prizes for most outrageous outfit, most sexy outfit, etc.

Post on the Message Board or email etownexpress@hotmail.com with any suggestions you may have!

The North Country Gang did it again! Our fans from the Adirondacks packed the Old Church Eatery in Port Henry as ETX celebrated its first show at this former church-turned-into restaurant and nightclub.

Despite a few technical/electronic glitches, the band played three high-energy sets from the terrific stage set-up available at this former church.

Thank you to Noreen and her staff. They were good to us, and we hope they'll invite us back soon.

Don't forget...

 -
June 11 - Wooden Nickel, Elizabethtown, NY - 6th Year Anniversary Show (w/Special Guest - Dan Gale!)

 -
June 24 - The Parting Glass, Saratoga Springs, NY - (also w/Special Guest - Dan Gale!)

There's a lot going on, so here's a quick note on each item:

- Thank you to Karen, Gordy and staff at the Rolling Stone Pub & Grill. Our first ever show there on April 23 was terrific. We'll be back at RSPG on July 16. And thanks to all of our fans who made the trip from Saratoga and E'Town; you guys are the best!

- Now that our personnel situation is back in order, we're fillin' the
schedule again. Here's a sampling of upcoming shows:

1. Old Church Eatery, Port Henry, NY on Lake Champlain, May 14.
This is an old church converted to a restaurant and nightclub. Come
all ye faithful! Sinners are welcome too :-D!

2. Rheanon Martin Benefit, Bay View Restaurant, Willsboro, NY, May 22. Sponsored by Willsboro Riding Club for 10 yr. old w/Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.

3. Wooden Nickel, Elizabethtown, NY, June 11. Our 6th Year Anniversary Show. Boy, how time flies!

4. The Parting Glass, Saratoga Springs, NY, June 24. Saratoga's Premier Venue. Out of Town Fans, call for room reservations early!

- We just received a new shipment of
E'TOWN EXPRESS T-Shirts, Hats and Thongs. Buy 'em at an upcoming show or contact us at etownexpress@hotmail.com.

- Check out the Message Board that Rob Jr. added to the website. There's fun and useful stuff on the board.

- Thank you again to Budweiser for supporting
E'TOWN EXPRESS. They've been supplying plenty of give-aways for the shows, and the beer is damn good, too!

See you at the next show,

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!

Partially the result of the "Draft Russ" campaign on the Message Board, and partially because we've never truly let him leave anyway, RUSS IS BACK FOR GOOD!

I am pleased to re-introduce our former/fill-in/new bass player RUSS DUMAS. Veteran ETX fans know and love Russ, and I know our newer fans will draw to him like flies on __it! Russ injured his hand a couple years ago, and the surgery to repair things required him to step aside. But now he's healed, tanned, rested and ready!

Stay tuned on the website for his bio. Also, check back often for updated scheduling. With Russ' return and Brad's arrival, we'll be crankin' up the schedule soon.

CD Update: Rob Jr. and I have been working on our own on the CD over the past few months. With the line-up settled, progress will quicken. Stay tuned. We may release an four-song teaser CD soon, just to hold you over until the whole thing is completed.

Whooooooaaaaa!!!! Everything was flyin' at the Wooden Nickel on Saturday night! We warned everyone that this show might be a little different, and it sure was.

First, we welcomed Scott LeDuc into the band for his first Wooden Nickel show. Great job after only three rehearsals. Nice shirt, too.

Russ Dumas (former ETX bassman) guest-starred a little on bass and a little on guitar. For a guy who moved on a couple of years ago, he sure shows up a lot! (Of course, he and all members of the E'TOWN EXPRESS family are always welcome.)

We conducted an ETX first-time-ever live audition for a lead vocalist. Brad White joined us on stage during the second set and the crowd wouldn't let him leave! After an informal audience poll (non-scientific, of course), the fans overwhelmingly endorsed him, so we hired him after he sang "Rock and Roll All Nite". Welcome aboard Brad.

We've got a lot of work to do in the next couple of weeks. We think you'll really enjoy the changes we have planned. Stay tuned for the expansion of our play schedule in the upcoming weeks.Don't forget to check the Photos and Band Pics. And send me some feedback about Scott and Brad on the Message Board.

Thanks to Linda Carmical for inviting us to play at Shawn Reynold's
birthday party this past Saturday. We had a great time.

Our new bassman, Scott LeDuc, passed his first test with flying colors! Welcome aboard, Scott.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

ETX steams back to the Wooden Nickel Saturday, March 12, 2005 at 9 pm. Following our recent personnel changes, we're beginning to solidify our new line-up. It's good to play at the home-base while we're making the transition.

This show promises to be a one-of-a-kind event because of the transformations. On stage, we'll show off our new bass player, we'll invite an old friend to join us for a couple of tunes, and we'll welcome a special guest to sing a song or two. Since I'm handling the lead vocals for the night (and since I often lose my voice at Wooden Nickel shows), I just might need you guys to sing with me all night! No problem, right?

See you Saturday.

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)

P.S. - Rob Jr. has created a new Message Board on the website for
keeping in touch and having some fun. Check out it out!.

Hey fans!

ETX is proud to announce that we have a new addition to the family.

The new beefy, bottom-end man of the
E'TOWN EXPRESS is
Scott LeDuc
!

Scott hails from Saranac, so now the band truly spans both ends of the Northway.

Meet Scott at an informal Meet & Greet on Friday, February 18, 2005 around 7:30 pm at Fat Freddies in Plattsburgh, NY.

GREAT FUN AT THE HOME BASE!!!

Our North Country fans went nuts over seeing Dan Gale and Russ Dumas again at the Wooden Nickel on January 15!

Dan and Russ extend their warmest thanks to everyone who re- welcomed them back to the North Country. Though their lives have taken them in separate directions, be assured that they'll be back every so often to check up on the band AND THE FANS!

Rob Jr. and I are working hard on our upcoming original CD. It's always hard to predict a completion date, but we think we'll be finished by Spring. Keep checking the website for details on CD RELEASE dates and events.

We will be holding auditions for a lead singer and a bass player throughout the next month. We have a couple of great candidates right now. However, we plan to leave no stone unturned. If you (or someone you know) would like to audition, email me at etownexpress@hotmail.com or call me at (518) 587-9105. Remember, the band is stepping to the next level. A high level commitment (including travel) is required; so please, serious applicants only.

Don't forget to check for yourself on Fan Pics. And send us your
comments and/or questions at etownexpress@hotmail.com.

ALL STAR SHOW!!!
SPECIAL ONE NIGHT SHOW!!!
DAN AND RUSS RETURN!!!

Saturday, January 15, 2005 9 pm at the WOODEN NICKEL in Elizabethtown!

E'TOWN EXPRESS is steppin' up to the next level, and this has brought on some personnel changes. We'll be taking a little time off from live shows to complete our ORIGINAL CD and to work the new guys into the mix.

So, we wanted to make our last show before the break special. Dan Gale (original lead singer of ETX) and Russ Dumas (former bass player for ETX) have returned for a special one-night show. Come on out and say hi to these returning members of the E'TOWN EXPRESS family!

Zyzzy (Rob Pulsifer Sr.)

A wicked-fun time was had by all at the Wooden Nickel Halloween Party! The boys in the band continued the yearly ritual of dressing as KISS for the Halloween show (check out Photos).

The fans outdid themselves with great costumes (check out Fan Pics). My personal favorite - Steve and Sally as the "Ghosts of Slash"!

It was great to see so many of the Crown Point gang at the show. We've missed them ever since My Sisters and Me closed down. E-mail us with suggestions on places close to Crown Point that you'd like us to play.

As always, thanks to Jim and Jean for a great night. Check out the Halloween Fan Pics here!

Way cool!!

Thank you to all our fans who rocked the Parting Glass on Friday night! A special thanks to the train-load of fans who chugged down from Elizabethtown and other North Country towns; you're the best.

Thank you to Linda DiBlasio and staff for making us feel welcome. We can't wait to come back.

Thank you to Brian Baker for helping us establish our new sponsorship from Budweiser Beer. It's great to be ridin' with the King!

Thanks to Tim, James and the gang at Palmer Falls Pub & Grill (formerly Luke's Sports Bar & Night Club) for a great night on July 17. This place is one of the best-kept secrets in the southern Adirondacks. The food's great, the drinks are cold, the prices are better than a lot of Saratoga County places... and the people are always friendly.

I ask our fans to visit the Palmer Falls Pub when we're there AND when we're not there.

Special thanks to the crew from Saratoga National Bank -you guys are NUTS!!!!!!!

Remember to check the fan pics.
