BORDERTOWN

Name:
Location: Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States

Bordertown is a band made up of experienced musicians who wanted to get away from the business aspect of music and just have fun playing music they grew up with and some new music they like. This has contributed to a wide range of musicals styles including classic rock, pop, modern rock, blues, and country.

Here are a few pics from our rehearsal room. Yes, it is tight and loud but we like it that way. :)

Back In Rehearsals

We're back in the rehearsal room learning new songs. The first five we're learning are:
  • Running Out Of Days - Three Doors Down
  • In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins/Nonpoint
  • Wind At My Back - Spock's Beard/Neal Morse
  • Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band (we're bringing it back)
  • King Of Pain - The Police (another one from the closet)
"Running Out Of Days" just rocks unbelievably!! I am so glad Aaron picked this song to do.

We're working on our own arrangement for "In The Air Tonight."

When I first heard "Wind At My Back," I didn't care for it. Now, it is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I sincerely get chills just playing it. Neal, you are awesome, brother!

We started "Fly Like An Eagle" a few months ago, then dropped it to work on a specific set list. Now it's back.

Ditto on "King Of Pain."

Oktoberfest Rocks!!

Oktoberfest was a blast!! This was Bordertown's very first gig. The crowd was responsive and we had to do an encore. We had so much fun. Thanks to everyone at the Gregory Kistler Center and Knights of Columbus for making us welcome.
