CALENDAR
Past Events
We will be at Countryside Inn Saturday night! Come celebrate with us the arrival of the month of March and the coming of spring!
We will be kicking out some Jams on a Saturday in North Dorr. By far, we should be the best band in town that night! We love CSI (Country Side Inn). Scooter McGee played its first paid gig at CSI back in 2014. (Thanks Mick) We sort of climbed the mountain, or was it a hill? Anyhow, we just sort of stuck around once we got there. If you are looking for a good time with great food, a cold beer and friendly people, head out to CSI on Saturday and see what you think of our band.
This will be our second time playing here. So like anytime you do something for the first time, this show will be better. That was last night and we rocked. Better look out the Scooter might get a little squirrely on us. lol. This could be a fun Saturday night. Its up to you.
This will be our first time playing here and there is a nice corner stage and dance floor and we are pretty excited to perform here. This is a sweet place that I've shared some great times with family and friends. Sweet Lou fell here. Love that guy. A great place to grab some dinner and listen to some good tunes, maybe kick up your heels and let momma stretch her legs. We will do our best to bring it at Hilliards!!
Scooter McGee in some form will be playing down near Shelbyville/Bradley at the Gun Lake Tribe's LCCC facility from 1:00-3:00 pm at a fundraiser for Kyle Comer whose house burned completely last week.
Join us from 7-10:00 at this old-school country watering hole. This place has some history as the legend, Johnny Cash used to hang out here up here on pheasant hunts in the late 60's. Before that it was a dance hall. We've been playing here for a few years. Scooter used to live down the road so this was where we started playing out live. Its a cool place with great service and pretty cool people. We've made many friends at CSI.
