A Stellar Summer Evening with Bell & Field

What a fantastic evening we had at Crescent City Tap on July 5th! Every return to Galva feels like coming home, and this past show raised the bar even higher. Jason and his crew’s warm hospitality was second to none—they always go above and beyond to make us and our audience feel welcome. Special shout-out to Jason for adding that cool neon sign to the piano—it truly elevated our stage vibe!

Highlights of the Night

• Debuting our fresh take on John Mellencamp’s “Ain’t Even Done With the Night.”
• The Vogels, who made the trek from Bloomington, IL, sharing a magical moment by dancing to Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” (one of our favorites to perform!).
• The Beatles’ classic “The Word” and Dan Fogelberg’s “Part of the Plan” were received warmly with lots of positive energy!
• Our signature drinks—the “Bell” Cosmopolitan and “Field” Lemon Drop—were as smooth and delicious as ever. Thanks again, Crescent City Tap, for the honor!

A Special Thanks to Family and Friends

We’re so grateful for our friends and family who came out to support us. It was wonderful seeing Frank & Betsy Tocha, Mike & Jane Martin, Marshall & Catherine Jones, as well as Jim & Cheri, Malissa, James, and everyone who made the night extra memorable.

A Humorous Twist: The Case of the Missing Wallet!

On a lighter (and somewhat embarrassing!) note, one of us woke up the next morning to a mini-mystery: the case of the missing wallet. After retracing steps, checking security footage, and even momentarily suspecting foul play, it turned out the wallet had simply fallen out of the pant’s pocket in the closet. Clearly, three signature cocktails can make for a very memorable night—or perhaps a slightly forgettable ending! Lesson learned: sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one (and the funniest!).

Looking Forward to Next Time

We’re already counting down until our next Crescent City Tap performance on August 23rd. If you missed this show, mark your calendars now—you won’t regret it!
