@ Dimitri’s Lounge

The Delta Rockets returned to Dimitri’s Lounge in Suisun earlier in August to headline a show along with the Bud’E Bluz Band and Beatles tribute band “When I’m Sixty Four”. We were lucky enough to have Hillary Lee from the Loose Blues Band join us for the entire last set, along with sax man Herman Wilson. The band was eager to play this show for the local fans and some new fans in the audience. The show was quite a hit with loads of dancing and happy faces throughout the night. Thanks to all that came out to this show and we’ll see you again soon. Below are some great photos taken by frequent photographer for the band, Cathy Whitney.

@ deLorimier Winery

What an amazingly fun show out at the deLorimier Winery yesterday evening! We were all amazed at how many people came out there to listen to live music on a Friday night and boy, did they come to dance! The Delta Rockets were feeling the love from the crowd and this had the effect of totally energizing the band and front man Dan Palmer as well. He was on fire singing out front, dancing with the dancers and had the opportunity to sing When a Man Loves a Woman to his wife while they danced. Awesome. Certainly some moments to remember from this one and we hope to return and do it again sometime soon. Thank you!

At Clos du Bois Winery

Such a nice time out at the Clos du Bois Winery’s release party for their 3rd Annual Marlstone Release Party. The weather was absolutely perfect with clear skies to see the vineyards and mountains in the distance and they had their big tent set up again to keep the bright sun off the food, wine, members and musicians. The wine and catered food was fantastic, especially the Marlstone wine itself. The Rockets had a fun time playing our music for the members and just hanging out and eating the great food and desserts between sets.

Be sure to see us in Aug at at least three upcoming shows in the Vacaville/Fairfield/Suisun Area.
