The Rhubarb Festival

As fulfilling and challenging as my job at MBC Law Firm is I still find myself looking forward to the weekend, especially Sunday when the family can be together without distraction.  A Hybrid Husband enjoys family time, especially a family outing.  And that's exactly what took place yesterday.

Awhile back, January 2013 to be exact, my wife and I went to C.I. Shenanigans in Tacoma, WA for dinner.  As we were leaving we heard a female/male duo playing guitar and singing some incredible notes in the restaurant lounge.  We ended up staying for their whole set and getting to know them a bit.    Their name, Scott and Dani Band, their style, a bit rocky and folksy with a lot of country.  And we loved them.

Fast Forward ---------------------------->>>>>>>>>  Sunday, July 14.  Scott and Dani band are playing at The Sumner Rhubarb Festival!  Yes, rhubarb.  Not the stuffy creature you run with at Cheney Stadium, the actual stalky plant that grows out of the ground.  All four of us boarded the RAV4 and headed out to Sumner to see Scott and Dani play.  Both kids behaved themselves, the baby hardly uttered a peep.  The music was wonderful.  It's hard to explain without actually seeing them live, but Scott and Dani are professional and polished and original.  I am amazed they haven't stepped on to the stage of The Voice yet!  Dani's voice is superb - American Idol-esque.  And Scott's guitar playing, well, let's just say he played so damn good his fingers were literally bleeding.

What a wonderful sunny music-filled afternoon.  We are grateful for the appearance of Scott and Dani's music in our lives.  I've included a link below to their YouTube video.  It's good stuff:
