Our first EAGLE show!
STEVE AZAR!
Steve Azar at the Clatsop County Fair! We had a great time and it was a great show, well attended by our community!
On a personal note, it was fun for my husband and I because during my interview with Steve, I found out how close he was to Jerry’s family in Mississippi. Then Jerry found out that Steve attended the same college with some of Jerry’s cousins. Steve and Jerry were all Mississippi when they got to talking! I was a great time and we feel like we have made some great friends.
During the Show, Steve had been calling Jerry his Mississippi Brother…and from the stage pointed and said hello. We were side stage and Jerry was on Duty that night, so he was in his Deputy uniform. Well, Sheriff Bergin was attending the show. Twice already, Steve had joked with the crowd about not even being able to get arrested! Sheriff told Jerry that if Steve said it again he was under orders to go on stage and “lock him up”…Well, Steve said it again! To even my surprise and the crowds laughter, here comes Jerry with handcuffs out and walked right up on stage. He told Steve he was under direct orders, to 'lock him up', from the Sheriff, pointed him out and it was just something you couldn’t have planned better! The crowd laughed and Steve and the band loved it.
At dinner that night, they talked all Mississippi and when Jerry gets around fellow Mississippian’s…the ‘speak’ starts and it’s catchy!! We have kept in touch with Steve and his manager/brother Joe. Along with Mark and Jason, other members of the band, they are all some of the most down to earth, nice people that you’ll ever meet.
Steve and the guys...
"Steve Azar launched a radio phenomenon with I Don’t Have to Be Me (‘Til Monday) and a video sensation with Waitin’ on Joe. He is creating music for movies and narrating a documentary. But the busier and bigger he gets, the more his thoughts have turned homeward to his Mississippi Delta roots."
