Great Times on Flynnville Train’s East Coast Run
We had a short run east this week where we first stopped in Dover, N.H., and visited WOKQ. We joined them for the morning show. We had a blast as we played, talked and joked for about 1-½ hours. They had contest winners there as well and they got to hang out and watch the show. We made some great friends and can’t wait to go back.
On Saturday (Sept. 22), we headed for Boston where we played the Tweeter Center that night. We had a great reception from the crowd, and after the show, we played a post party show sponsored by WKLB. They had over a hundred contest winners that got to attend the show. We played an acoustic set and were joined by some of the other players on the tour. Scotty, Keith and Aden from Miranda’s band joined us for a few songs, then Dave, Joey and Rich from the Easy Money Band joined in for an awesome jam session. It was a great time for the audience and I think an even greater time for all of us.
This week’s behind-the-scenes person is Suzanne Durham. Suzanne works for the record label, Show Dog, as the Northeast regional and, like all the regionals, works hard to get us introduced to the world. She sets up all of the pre- and post-party shows, interviews, meet and greets and much more. She has worked tirelessly to promote Flynnville Train and is very creative and brilliant in the way she does. The belief she has in us inspires us to keep pushing forward, even when we might be tired. I don’t think it’s possible to show her our gratitude, but for what it’s worth, thank you, Suz.
Next week, we will wrap up the tour in Texas. I’ve been hearing rumors about all the pranks that get pulled on the last night of the tour. I’m sure next weeks post will be interesting.
Until then, Tommy Bales

Sounds like another great weekend of concerts and after concert jam sessions! I hope you all have some pranks up your sleeves too! Have fun this weekend! ;)
Thank you Suzanne for all your promoting! We love these guys and hope the rest of the world will get a chance to hear them too so they can jump on board the train.

Tommy…I hope that you will continue the blog on your own Tour…coming up after Texas. Watch out…they really got Joe last year…LOL. You are sooo right about Suzanne…She is the best! I would never had gotten to meet ya’ll back in February if she hadn’t brought you to the pre-party. (That first night, I was front row and caught your drumstick) Then…Suzanne not only took care of ya’ll at Prospector’s…but took care of all the “Trainiacs”…that is a night we will NEVER forget!! Please tell her Thank You for all she does and give her my best.
Hope to see you and Suzanne “on the road”…soon. (Come to VA)
Thanks again,
Jen

Tommy, this was a great review of last week. The radio station gig was so awesome and then lets top it off with Mansfield which was I think the best concert i’ve seen in a long time. The after party was unreal. It was my first one and you have no idea how much I wanted to get into that party. I feel like I just had two days full of FVT. You guys really made it very special. I will never forget it. It was a great train ride!!!!
Can’t wait to see you all again.
Enjoy the last two shows with Toby.
