The Robert Gotcher Band

What’s up, you guys?! We FINALLY made it out with our favorite photographer (Trevor DeVage) to shoot photos of the band. Yeah, baby. The above shot is one of my favorites of the day. It’s got that meat and potatoes/southern rock feel to it. I’d say pretty fitting for us as a band. We’re all from Texas, so why not a southern feel? Right. That’s what I thought. Let us know what you think!

For more images of the shoot, check out Trevor’s Flickr page!

Meet Cal…

Cal’s a buddy of mine who is an incredible guitarist. He truly has a gift of music, but his real treasure is his heart. I get the privilege of playing with Cal on an almost weekly basis out in Roanoke at Compass Christian Church. Never wanting to burn him out, I avoid ‘booking him whenever he’s in town’. It’s pretty cool…Wednesday will roll around and Cal will give me a call, “Hey, man…can I play on Sunday?” My answer is usually something like, “Are you kidding?! Absolutely!” The beauty of Cal playing on Sunday mornings with me is his heart to worship God and to give back the precious gift that he’s been given…his life.

Can you say G-Man? Saturday, Jan 2nd!

Yes, it’s another show at the Ginger Man in Dallas, TX. Well, not just another show…a very special acoustic show with myself and Roger Burk. We are going to jam all night long (cue Lionel Richie). Special guest, Michael Mayfield from Austin, TX will be joining us. He’s like an undiscovered gem of pure, raw talent. You gotta check him out. The boy has a gift! He’s opening for us…but we’ll probably see if we can get him to play off and on all night with us. Sweet? Sweet.

Wow! What a Great Show in Grapevine, TX!

We were blown away by the turnout of our fans at Buon Giorno Coffee house in Grapevine, TX for our show on Oct 23rd. Whoa! Over 100 people crammed in for some coffee, conversation, and community. Oh, and to hear the fabulous Gotcher Acoustic Trio! (Which morphed into a 4 piece with the addition of Putnam on bass!). Talk about standing room only!

Really, you guys blew us away. Thank you so much! We love it when you show your support so strongly! We’ll be sure and book more coffee house shows throughout the year. Our goal is to force Buon Giorno to have to relocate the show onto the parking lot! Wouldn’t that be GREAT?! David Clarke, owner of BG, declared, “We had a GREAT night! You can play anytime you want!” Another thanks for buying all the coffee and food you could stand. We have the best fans ever!

Gotcher Acoustic Trio to play Buon Giorno Coffee this Friday!

If it’s been a while since you’ve snuggled into a cozy corner to hear unadulterated acoustic music in your favorite coffee house, then you should hit Buon Giorno Coffee this Friday to catch the Gotcher Acoustic Trio. That’s right. October 23rd is the date. Can you mark that down on your iPhone, Blackberry, or something? Great. Don’t forget to set your reminder with enough time to get there early…seats fill up quickly.

Why all the hub-bub? Well, local artist Robert Gotcher got his start in the coffee house scene. It’s a bit of a return to his roots. Long time friend and musican, Carlyle McCullough will be playing as well. Yes, he’s part of the trio. Along with the crazy rhythms of McCullough, Roger Burk, another life long friend, will be coloring the musical scene with his tasteful acoustic lead guitar. Another treat: the Burk Sisters will be performing in between sets. Suhweet!

Cost? Nada. Fun? Tons. Tip jar? BIG. See you at 8pm. www.buongiornocoffee.net

8 Years Already?!

My beautiful wife, Anna and I celebrated 8 years of marriage on October 6th! It’s gone by so quickly…it’s almost hard to believe. And two kiddos? Are you kidding me? Nicole just started kindergarten this year. And Benjamin? Well, he’s gonna hit 2 years in February. Life is flying by me. I’m just trying to soak up as much as I can. I am blessed; for real.
