Big Sky Regional Report
Edited by David Shulman

Greetings from St. Louis....home of the Super Bowl Champion Rams!!!!!

I know it's not jamband related...however....the excitement around the region the past few weeks has been centered around the unbelievable turnaround of the St. Louis Rams...not to mention the many motivational stories, included Kurt Warner, London Fletcher, as well as Dick Vermeil!!!!! Here's hoping the hockey Blues can pick up where the Rams left off and continue to bring sports excitement to the region for months to come.

In addition the tour schedule around the region is really starting to heat up. We were lucky enough to have several region gigs by Jazz Mandolin Project, with Jon Fishman on drums. Other acts to hit the region in the last several weeks included Keller Williams, Galactic, .moe, and Big Wu. March looks to be another hot month as well (see the schedules below).

Have a wonderful March everyone and enjoy the information below.
