Beautiful Thunder Bay

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported 7 Million Jigawatts performances in Alpena this past weekend. It was great to return to Melissa & Nate’s hometown to play on Thunder Bay. The clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time for the Bay View concert to start. We met so many new people and saw alot of our old friends too. Wrapping up the Alpena Blues Festival later that night was certainly a treat. We jammed some blues tunes for the crowd and got everyone dancing til they turned up the lights. We are looking forward to playing in Alpena again very soon.
