Hey everybody, due to an unforeseen conflict, we'll have to postpone our 10/18 gig at the Continental Post. We'll look to reschedule in early 2026. Stay tuned and keep rockin'!

Hey there,
Here’s hoping your weekend’s off to a good start!
We’re countin’ down the days to a red October for our Phightin’ Phils! While we’re countin’, mark your calendars for a month from now for Red X’s return to the one-and-only Continental Post #263 for another day-drink & dance on Saturday, 10/18. Music starts at 3:00PM.
Come on back, down or over, for an early afternoon of elbow-bending, good friends and great tunes.

Here's a hearty big thanks to all who came out to The Venetian Social Club this past Sunday Funday. It was so great to see everyone enjoying the day, singing along and dancing! A special thanks to Rita, Bill and Rusty for their hard work to make it possible, and the club membership and friends for their support!
Next up for Red X, after a bit of a break, is an early Saturday afternoon jam on 10/18, playing from 3:00 to 7:00PM at the one-and-only Continental Post. We are sooo looking forward to it!
Enjoy the remainder of the Summer, and we'll see you in the Fall.
Cheers!

Good morning X-campers!
We'll be playing inside at The Venetian Social Club tomorrow, Sunday Funday 8/17, from 4 - 7PM (it'll be way too hot & humid out)
In the meantime, here's a little something for you live bootleg lovers... Bruce, Houston '78... from the last time rockin' at the Mermaid Inn.
Cheers!

Hey now!
Red X hopes you're all having an excellent Summer so far! Hoping you'll save the date - two weeks from today - Sunday, 8/17. We'll be playing at The Venetian Social Club in Chestnut Hill for their August Summer Sundays Music Fest, from 4 - 7PM outside on their veranda (back parking lot 😁, so bring a beach chair. If it's rainy or too hot we'll be inside in the air conditioned bar). Let's keep the latter part of Summer rockin' as always with fun in the sun. It's bound to be a great afternoon!
We hope you can make it out!

Wow, what a night at the Mermaid Inn! Thanks to everyone who came out; especially an amazing show of support from the crew at the Continental Post! Such a blast to see and hang out between sets with you all!
A huge shout-out and THANKS to our in-house paparazzi - photograper Nora Ann Pio and videographers Donna & Kelly Duddy!
Next up is a few weeks away, on a Sunday afternoon, 8/17 from 4 - 7PM at The Venetian Social Club. Hopefully it'll be sunny and cool so we can play outside on their veranda (i.e. the back parking lot 😁, plan on bringing a beach chair); if not, we'll play inside, in the air conditioned bar.
Until then, enjoy the next Summer month and we'll see you for more rockin' grooves at the V!

Four years ago today we lost our dear friend and musician brother, Bud McNally. It is with heavy hearts that we continue to celebrate the memories we have of his good-natured spirit, talent and dedication to Red X.
Rest easy Budman!
