I am pleased to announce that my band Clutch Draggin' & the Lug Nuts is again hosting the Arizona Gretsch Roundup!of Gretsch Guitars will be there. That usually means good things for those that attend. Maybe we can talk him into bringing the "G-Brand" branding iron. The Arizona Gretsch Roundup, hosted by Clutch Draggin' & the Lug Nuts is scheduled for March 08, 2014 at the Marana, AZ Community Center, which is adjacent to the Avra Valley Fire station located at 15790 West Silverbell Road, Marana, AZ.

Now that I've had a few days to recover, I can finally report that the Arizona Gretsch Roundup for making it something to remember. More thanks to our guitarist, Mark, for getting it all together for this rockin' event to happen!

This just in.... Unfortunately the gig at the V.A. Hospital had to be canceled due to construction in the immediate vicinity. The Car Show and Music event (that's us) will be rescheduled for around Veterans Day. Will keep you posted. -CactusAndy

Clutch Draggin' & the Lug Nuts Band was privileged to be invited back to the Southern Arizona Veterans Hospital (Tucson) to perform a show for the patients and staff this Veterans Day weekend (11/13). We wish to thank all the Vets who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. This country owes you much more than it's giving. -CactusAndy

No major changes in the group since the departure of Charlie; the band trudges on! Charlie tells us us that all is well in Wyoming and he's doing some solo gigs in Gillette. We wish him the best and miss him. Clutch Draggin' & the Lug Nuts is picking up some gigs here and there, but our main focus at this point is adding newer material that is more complicated musically. Andy and Mark are meeting in-between band rehearsals to add and polish the tunes. We feel this material will enhance our show and will certainly be a crowd pleaser. Next public show will be Aug. 27th at the Circle S Saloon in Marana, AZ. Catch us if you can, we'd love to see you there! -CactusAndy
