SUN VALLEY CONCERT SCREAMING SUCCESS
SUN VALLEY IDAHO. The boys recently returned from a date in Sun Valley Idaho where once again they lit up the crowd for an evening of fun and entertainment. Sun is a fabulous place for freddy Pink to work. Having performed several times in the valley we pretty much have it down to include the most scenic route from the airport, best restaurants, best breakfast etc. “Sun valley is a magical place.” says Gordon Yancey, the groups lead vocalist, who went on to say”. I’ve 
skiing there since I was a kid, when we used to go on Coors Beer runs, bringing back pick-up truck load of what we thought at the time was very special beer (stronger) that would fetch top dollar back in washington State, and would subsequently pay for our trip including lift tickets at the high-end resort. Perhaps it the high-mountain air or the soul of the Sawtooth Mountain range itself. “Whatever it is” says Yancey, “The audiences we have performed for in that area are among the most receptive audiences we have worked for. They go absolutely crazy, and they keep screaming for more”.
Freddy Pink returned to Sun Valley in November to perform for for the “30th Annual Sun Valley-Ketchum Firefighters Ball” which took place at Sun Valley Lodge’s Lime light Room (pictured below),and the crowd went NUTZ!!!! We put a 
couple of thousand people into a room that holds around a thousand and they went absolutely crazy!!! Seriously, the Sun Valley/Ketchum/Hailey crowd are some of the most fun folks we have performed for. The mountains breed athleticism, and it showed in the crowds dancing. We started at 9:00 and went till 1:00, taking only one half hour break, and they never stopped, in fact they danced through the break music as to not lose 
their place on the dance floor. And speaking of athletes, that’s Rebecca Rusch in the green dress the women’s mountain biking champ in the green room with the guys, and our new friend in Sun Valley Annie Leady-Stout, the Ketchum Firefighter responsible for booking us for the event. When not winning grueling races like Colorado’s “Leadville 100”, Rebecca is fighting fires with Annie for the town of Ketchum. It seems like everyone you meet down there has an extraordinary story, but no matter how impressive, it seems the storiesof the folks we have met there are all dampened with a certain down to earthiness that makes the good people of the Sun valley area just a pleasure to be around and perform for.
Freddy Pink has developed great relationships with several of the areas premier event planners and plans return trips to Sun Valley in summer of 2010. Now if we could just get down there during ski season.
FP EXPANDS TO CENTRAL OREGON WITH PGA EVENT
Sunriver Ore. Freddy Pink performed for the Peter Jacobs Open at Caldera Springs Golf and Country Club near bend Oregon the last week of August. The weather was clear and hot, and became very obvious in a short time that fans of Golf are also fans of rock and Soul music. They danced non-stop for close to three hours. One interesting point of working in the high mountain dessert is, it was ninety degrees during the day, but the second the sun went down the temperature dropped almost forty degrees.
bend was freddy Pink’s first foray into Central Oregon, and we look forward to performing there more in the future. Bend Oregon is home to Mount Bachelor Ski Resort, so maybe we will get booked there during ski season.

Stevens Pass WA.- FP ened another fabulous ski season with the Stevens Pass Spring Festival. This is the third year the group has performed for the end of the season blow-out and has helped to take it from 1200 attendees the first year to close to 5000 this season. The guys in the band really enjoy the mountain culture and also enjoy helping the charitable organization “Outddors For All” a non-profit benefactor of the event. Outdoors For All is focussed on building special wheelchair, skis, and Kayak configurations for those who can’t, and Steven’s donates a percentage of the proceeds from the yearly event to the cause.
