Thanks to all of you for your continued support, especially to those who put up with us
(you know who you are...) while we do what we love and apparently, are meant to do.

If you want to see us at your town's Festival, or in your Park, find out who runs your Park District or Festival and give them a call (if you need their number, call or email us and we'll get the number for you). Tell them you would LOVE The White Saddle Band to play in your town. The same holds true for your favorite watering hole (we have been known to play a few hundred taverns over the years!). Or, for those of you who are totally self-indulgent, hire us to play at your own private party. Hell, we'll play at your BBQ in the backyard, by the pool, in the hot tub (acoustic, of course!), we'll play in your living room, or your kitchen or anywhere you want us to. Just give a call to Flint Creek Music at 847-826-2834. 
And also, remember to tell everyone you know about The White Saddle Band.


In 2010, we'll play Festivals, Park District shows, bars and parties starting up in Wisconsin and working our way South, in our never ending quest to bring our brand of music as close to you as we can without getting slapped!
We'll try to give you as much information (time, address, what we're wearing, etc.) as we can as the date gets closer.

So........this year we raise the WTF bar another notch with a stop at Bungalow Joe's in Hanover Park. We're looking forward to a great time.

Per Daryl Cooper, we have been officially knighted as the Jan Cooper Birthday Party House Band! And even if we weren't, we'd probably show up, set up our equipment and play anyway. This is ALWAYS a good party. It's also a benefit for Labrador Rescue (the dogs, not the Country!) with food, music and more than a few bottles of wine. Mark your calendars now....
