Submitted by Barb Gadacz, Manager of Alan Godage & Sundown

BRAINERD, MN - Alan Godage & Sundown are making their way back to the area to play at GREGGORY PARK  in BRAINERD, MN this THURSDAY  evening, and you are going to want to grab your guy or gal and head to the GREGGORY PARK for some good country dancing and listening.

Alan Godage & Sundown is a four piece Classic Country Band hailing from central Minnesota. Their sound is reminiscent of Charlie Pride, George Jones, with a healthy dose of honky-tonk rhythms of Johnny Cash thrown in for good measure. Their simple, yet beat-based songs have attracted an enthusiastic audience to date.

 Alan Godage (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Dan Gadacz, (drummer and backup vocals), Jim Olsen (bass, lead and backup vocals), Rick Jenkins (Lead guitar) make up this band. If you haven’t had the pleasure of catching this great Classic Country band you’ll get the chance this THURSDAY evening, June 5, 2013 at GREGGORY PARK  in BRAINERD, from 7:00 PM to-8:30 PM The music will be hot and the beverages cold to quench your thirst after all the two-steppin’ you’ll be doin’.

“I personally invite you out to see and hear this great Classic Country band. I think you are truly going to be disappointed if you miss Alan Godage & Sundown at GREGGORY PARK on Friday, if you’re like me and love good ole Classic Country music,” then we will see you at the GREGGORY PARK.

Alan Godage & Sundown do a lot of self promoting of the band by word of mouth and other means. Basically everyone in the band takes a proactive role in getting the word out on all of their future shows and gigs. Word of mouth includes telling their family, friends, coworkers, and anyone else this band knows that may be interested in this bands genre of music. It’s surprising how many bar stools you can fill simply by word of mouth through family and friends, and once the word gets out, the place really starts to fill up for a good time on a Sunday afternoon.

Alan Godage & Sundown also have a website www.alangodage.com. where they can be heard on the website, they can be contacted by email, they have numbers where they can be reached and actually talk to Barb. They have business cards available at every venue. They have updated paper schedules and request sheets available at all venues. They have CDs, many different color t-shirts, hats and now sweatshirts for sale. This band will let you take their picture, they will sign autographs—in other words they are touchable. 

This band has played county fairs, the Minnesota State Fair, clubs, private parties, and opened for Classic country artists. They are not just your local “wanna be” garage band but a band that you are proud to know and will not be disappointed with as a true Country Fan!

It’s important to look professional when you are on stage performing. It’s great to have an energetic and appealing presence when up in front of the crowd. The crowd can feed off of the positive energy as well. There are many ways to involve the crowd at our shows. If Alan and the band are playing a popular cover song they can look out into the crowd and see just about every one singing along with the band. The crowd gets involved by making requests to the band. It is also helpful when whoever is singing comments on a birthday or anniversary in the audience or makes notice of a holiday in between songs or introduces certain songs to the audience.

Every show is fun and the music is great for dancing. You will never see Alan Godage & Sundown fighting, yelling or foul language on their stage; they all agree it is completely unprofessional and takes away from everyone having a good time out. Give yourself a Classic Country music experience and come see this band; test them on your song requests.  Take a chance; bring your partner and your dancing shoes. You won’t be sorry when you let Alan Godage and Sundown’s music carry you away this Friday evening in PRINCETON at the PARK. We’re looking forward to meeting you there!
