Thanks for sharing @Mark_Rocka great to get an insight to the Cabin Camp experience for those of us that can’t make the pilgrimage.

Thanks everyone! The funny part of this is that it was literally a last minute decision. I wasn’t even supposed to play that morning.

I had asked Jake and Adam if I could play a Spillwater Drive song with them at some point during camp. All week had gone by and the timing was just never right. That morning, the guys had worked up a song to do and had finished rehearsing it before the campers rolled in. When they were done, I said “Hey, is now a good time to play a song with you?” They said “Sure” and we played this song.

We got done and Justin said “Hey! Why don’t we play this song?”

The butterflies were instant and relentless. I don’t get nervous on stage while just standing in the back plunking a bass. It’s a very different story when I’m put front and center. It was definitely the highlight of camp for me, though. I so appreciate these folks making me feel like part of the team.

Well done @Mark_Rocka , I find singing with a band comes natural, playing banjo with the band is still a little nerve racking doing both together impossible. I’d love to know how Katy Lou does it so well.

Great job @Mark_Rocka! Sounds like a fun, hard-driving jam!

[Mark_Rocka]

It really is, and when we rehearsed it a few minutes before the video, we played it faster. @AdamAsh was taking it easy on me for the real show.
