Help us start off our 2019 touring season with a bang at Willaby’s!

What follows would be a brief description of Run Forrest Run…a typical Bio that is usually pretty boring, and blah blah blah.  So, to spare you of all that, instead we are four people who have all reached their mid-life crisis in one form or another.  And what do you need when you’re in a mid-life crisis?  An outlet!!!  Although, beer can fill this void for us at any time, none of us like the idea of eventually having to go to meetings or being the subject of an ‘intervention.’  Instead, we self indulged ourselves by forming a band.  Now, there’s an interesting schematic somewhere that describes how we all met, but we’ll save you from that for now.  The only thing you need to know, in our opinion, is 1- we are in this for fun, 2- we’re not trying to make a million dollars, 3- we don’t take ourselves seriously, and 4- we’re really not that good (except for Marcy…she can sing her ass off!)  All this, allows our families to put up with us a few more hours each week because we do not focus our real issues of getting old, fat, not having any money, or our bodies working the way they did when we were in our 20s (again, except Marcy…she looks great!!!)

Why the name Run Forrest Run?  Why not?!?!  Just a phrase anyone from our generation would recognize.  Other names that were considered were 1- Mid Life Crisis (duh!), 2- Identity Crisis, 3- Beyond the Pale, 4- Free Beer, 5- Marcy and the Greyhounds

It was a close vote, and we think it was a hanging chad that was the decisive vote.

Anyway….this is us.  Come see us.  We’ll love to see you and give you a reason to get out of the house.  We may take requests from time to time, but we’d mostly keep playing anyway!

This fair begins at noon and goes until 4PM.

There will be oyster seed both diploid and triploid along with various oyster cages, apparel and accessories for sale.

For those wishing to learn more on the Oyster Gardening subject, there will be a Panel Discussion in the Good Luck Hall, hosted by many experienced MOGs (Master Oyster Gardeners). A lovely place to listen and have fun with folks of like mind who wish to grow their own yummy bivalves.

TOGA will also have a raffle booth where choice items will find homes with many lucky winners of the day; and all the proceeds goes to TOGA (a most worthy non-profit organization).
The event will include different delicious choices of raw and cooked bivalves from a local grower: Great Wicomico Oyster Co., and fine wines to taste and buy from the winery.
For the full vineyard experience people will be able to visit the comfortable Good Luck wine tasting bar and lounge where knowledgeable and friendly servers will keep pace with any crowd.

The Band’s repertoire features new and innovative takes on songs like Eleanor Rigby, Back in the U.S.S.R, Come Together, Blackbird and many more. This is not your typical tribute band, but an innovative approach to the recreation of The Beatles.
