Jim Messina was also on the bill.
“Easy going, warm & friendly. The three guys up front traded the spotlight gracefully, each introducing the other with obvious admiration and respect. The key element here is the group’s superb vocal blend. Allan Rich has a unique vocal quality with a lovely timbre and sincere delivery. Listening to Meisner is like hearing from a dear old friend, while Swan adds his own special vocal magic.” –Billy Block, Music Connection

Dos Gringos, Temecula, CA
June 17-18, 1992
According to Charlie Rich, Jr, this was was the band’s first gig.
“Temecula, California. Our first show together. After the show ended I knew I was a part of something special. We continued working the West Coast for the next few months. Then I spoke with a friend in Holland that was interested in booking the band. We did a European tour that was just a blast. We used Mark Craney on drums, as (John) Molo was out with Bruce Hornsby at the time.”
