Thanks to all who made Burns Night 2012 so much fun -- whether celebrating with us or your own, the world around! Now, who can recognize the Saltire, Scotland's national flag? Here's a little treat that will help you remember it, from Fiona Hyslop, Scotland's Secretary for Culture and External Affairs:

January 7 at the Sudwerk Dock Store

Join us for music and fun starting at 4 o'clock January 7 at the Sudwerk Dock Store, just inside the big garage door behind of the more familiar Sudwerk Restaurant & Brewery in Davis. You can get there from Pole Line Road or Second Street. If you've never been to the Dock Store, take a look at the introduction Eric Dirksen posted to the Davis Life Magazine blog.

The Sudwerk Dock Store is the brewery's actual loading dock, transformed 3 days a week into a no-frills pub -- and with the beers they offer, no frills are necessary. If you want a salad or a sandwich, step around the corner to the other Sudwerk. But if you'd like to taste a delicious seasonal or experimental brew and listen to the music stylings of Riggity Jig, the Dock Store is the place for you.

And since it's a real loading dock, I'll bet the acoustics will be fantastic! See you there!

We Resolve To Have More Fun!

It's just a few weeks until a new year, and so here are a few suggestions we could all use to make the world a better place.

1) Listen to more live music!

2) Drink better beer.

3) Have a good time!

You can take care of all three of these by joining Riggity Jig on Saturday, January 7, for some live music, good beer and good times at the Sudwerk Dock Store . We'll be playing around 4:00-6:00, but stay tuned for more details closer to the date.

And Happy New Year!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas

The holiday season is fast approaching (and Riggity Jig is available to make your parties a wee bit more festive, just drop a line to schedule us for your next shin-dig) so we wanted to share an idea, in case you have a hard time coming up with gift ideas for you favorite band members!

Pretty Darn Close to Halfway to St. Patrick's Day

If my math is correct, we are getting close to halfway to St. Patrick's Day, which means it is time to bless the patio of Little Prague (weather permitting) with our annual fall frolics. Join the band for some frothy mugs of Guinness and fun tunes on Saturday, September 10th, from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

Reservations encouraged!

Playing for a live audience is very different (and so much more fulfilling) than studio work. Keep that in mind next time you come face to face with someone playing music for you!
