Last night at MiXt Foodhall was one of those nights that reminds me why my journey of spiritual connection goes beyond entertainment.
Much respect and thanks to Charles “Red” Adkins for riding shotgun. Red’s the kind of player who doesn’t just play the bass — he lays the road down under the wheels. When you’re out there trying to tell a story, it’s a whole lot easier when someone like Red is walking that road with you.
Big thank you to MiXt Foodhall for the hospitality, the love, and connecting the community.
The truth is, this music journey isn’t always easy. Long nights, heavy gear, chasing songs that don’t always come when you call them. But like an old blues saying goes:
“The road can be hard, but it’s a whole lot better when you don’t have to walk it alone.”
Grateful for the music, the people, and the miles ahead.
Peace & Love ~ Slade

What a weekend.
We kicked it off at the VFW 350 Hootenanny with heavy hearts and open souls, holding our brother Calvin and the Newbill family close. That place was thick with love, grit, and community. All the bands that supprted were amazing!
We wrapped things up at New Deal Cafe, cut short by the weather. No song’s worth more than people’s safety. So we packed our set 2 (11 songs) into a 24 minute window.
Thank you for showing up, standing with us, and sharing the love.
Peace & Love
~ Slade
