Rollertown Beerworks
It was a gas to finally make it up to Rollertown Beerworks last weekend. I have been wanting to try a "Big German" for a long time. I am not a beer connoisseur, but I enjoy trying different brews, especially when I'm traveling or playing a gig. Such was the case this weekend when "Captain and Camille Lite" played a "yacht rock" themed bash at the brewery up in Celina, Texas.
I really loved the beer! The name is an homage to one of my favorite humans, the great Dirk Nowitzki. It's a Kölsch style brew that's slightly sweet with just the right amount of citrus. It's easy to drink and super refreshing.
The C&C skeleton crew included Matt Trimble on all sorts of percussion, vocals and guitar, John Lefler singing, strumming and occasionally plunking on the keys, and the always effervescent Camille Cortinas making the rest of us look and sound good. It was a fun challenge to play acoustic style versions of our smooth 70's playlist and judging by the crowd response, I think we acquitted ourselves relatively well.
It was great to see Jeff "Skin" Wade looking well and grooving to our tunes! Skin was a big part of the Bastards of Soul run and along with his radio buddy Ben Rogers have got a very cool thing going at the brewery. It's a super fun vibe in a relaxed family (and dog!) friendly atmosphere. On the day we played there were a bunch of tasty food trucks serving everything from shrimp dishes to pizzas and a few sweet things for the kiddos. I really enjoyed the vibe and as you can tell by the picture, so did Lady Sax! We're looking forward to going back again soon. Check out the brewery here:
