Is it Fall already?

Posted onAuthormichelle

We still have some great shows coming up this year too so be sure to keep an eye on our calendar!

What an honor and an adventure we had this past Saturday night performing at the Winter Park 75th Anniversary Gala. We started out by having all our gear loaded onto a snowcat and hauled up to Sunspot Lodge where the view from 10,700 feet is nothing less than spectacular. The guests began arriving by way of the chairlift at 6 0’clock where they enjoyed cocktails before their dinner and pre-dance activities. In true party fashion the guests flooded the dance floor to get their groove on as soon as we started playing and didn’t stop until it was time to get Read More …

One of the busiest weekends Boogie Machine has ever had at Bistro Al Vino.

That’s right, it was slammin! Boogie Machine takes the stage at 8:30 and the dance floor fills immediately, but by 9:00 the place looks like it’s right at the peak of the night.

Corporate Fun with Boogie Machine!

Posted onAuthormichelle

Whether it’s for a company of 100 or 1000, Boogie Machine’s goal is to get everyone dancing! This weekend in Montrose was no exception. As soon as we started playing people stopped milling around the bar and headed for the dance floor to get their groove on. It was especially exciting because everyone was dressed in their finest polyester, bellbottoms and platform shoes! Dressing up always seems to bring a huge fun-factor to any event and it’s these occasions that we like to tell the crowd, “We’re the band, you’re the audience.

The footage looks really good and I’m excited about the end product. Michelle and I did a “green screen” shooting at their studio in Boulder, and although I think I look like a Read More …

Boogie Machine plays for CU Denver’s 40th Anniversary Celebration!

Posted onAuthorJerryLeave a comment

On August 22nd, we played an awesome event on the corner of 15th and Lawrence in Downtown Denver for CU Denver’s 40th Anniversary. After a performance by an amazing a cappella group,  we kicked off the show with some EW&F and laid down the funk for an awesome afternoon. The layout of this party was wonderful. Block partygoers could choose from a dozen food trucks and then work off the calories at the mobile ropes course, rock climbing wall, or of course, the dance floor.

Springing Forward!

Wow! I can’t believe it’s March already! Time flies when you’re crazy busy! We spent the biggest part of November and December putting together a few new songs and making new costumes. We also made some sorely needed equipment upgrades that help make the show run more smoothly. And while there’s still plenty more to be done in all those departments, like everything, it takes time and money. December was a blast. We played some awesome gigs, both as Boogie Machine and as Ronnie Raygun. We flew to Seattle Christmas night to play a birthday party on the 26th, flew Read More …
