The InDwellings 70s themed “Back to the Bash” event was exciting!

Hot As A Pepper enjoyed playing for the Upstate organization “InDwellings” last month! Let’s talk about why…

First of all, InDwellings has a goal to provide housing to those with special needs so that they can experience a HOME environment, not just a HOUSE. This is important because as you may be aware, our area has a large number of people who this will impact! These homes which InDwellings hopes to provide will not be some type of institutional dwelling, it will be a home filled with love. With the smell of baking cookies.   Please read more about them on their website to get the latest and to make a contribution.

Back to the bash….  To help achieve their goal, they held an event called “Back to the Bash”, which was a 70s themed gala at the Thornblade Country Club here in Greenville. Hot As A Pepper was booked because we can provide several hours worth of music from just about any style or decade.  For this event, we played a huge selection of music that was mostly from the 70s, peppered with a few from the late 60s and even one or two from the early 80s.   Rock, Beach, Motown, Disco, Country, nothing was safe from us!

The gala coincided with the acquisition of InDwelling’s first house!  It was a real celebration for sure!  But it got exciting….

Delvin Choice who competed on “The Voice” was in the house, and him and our emcee, the multi-talented Michael Codgill joined our band on stage for an impromptu rendition of the James Brown classic, “I Got You (I Feel Good)”.

Here’s a clip from that….

This was a fundraiser, so Jake Ohlinger, with Ohlinger Auctions was in charge of auctioning off some outstanding items, such as an African Safari, and food packages, etc… That was a huge success, as I believe every item was sold!

Jake was so kind as to write the band this note:

Good Afternoon John & Hot As A Pepper,

Great Job!  First Rate!  Enjoyable!  Job Well Done!

I want you and your band members to know that the InDwellings Organization was very pleased with your performance for the “Back to the Bash : Destination 1970’s” at Thornblade Club the evening of October 28th.  You delivered great music and blended well with the group.

InDwellings and I wish you and your group continued success and fun in you business of entertainment and in your careers as musicians.

Sincerely and I look forward to working with you again.

Jake

Band Bar Charity Club Event Hot As A Pepper John M. Hoyt Live Entertainment Music Upstate Venue Video

Our band rocked Spartanburg last night at Wild Wing Cafe! It was HOT & WILD!

Our friends with “No Sweat” band played an Alzheimer charity event hosted at the Wild Wing Cafe in Spartanburg SC last night and Hot As A Pepper invaded the place to enjoy their performance and the cold drinks and eats.

After No Sweat tore it up with their first set, they were generous enough to let HAAP take the stage and perform a few tunes.

Check out the video below of us covering Sublime’s “Santeria”.  We put up some pics on our facebook page too.

Thanks to No Sweat and Wild Wing’s Spartanburg for the opportunity to play on a nice stage, with a crazy happy crowd and for allowing us to help out in a small way with a worthy cause!

Kudos to the their sound guy, who does a marvelous job, and to the wait staff – especially Kelly, who worked way too hard for us, and received far too small of a tip!

Now to get booked at the Wild Wing Cafe Spartanburg venue! It’s one of the hottest places in Spartanburg for live entertainment, and that makes us a perfect match!
