This was our fourth straight year playing a Wednesday Night Live show and the midweek tradition is clearly continuing in a strong way. Dropping temperatures and some early afternoon showers did not deter over a thousand friends from making their way into the State Fair Park and enjoying the musical festivities courtesy of Cherry Pie. By showtime the weather was perfect for some summer fun. This show had a little of everything. Kids mixed with adults, day slipped into night and a Brewer game being played only a couple miles away was being shown on large TV screens throughout the pavilion. With plenty of time to prepare our equipment on the large stage and plenty of family and friends in attendance it was easy for us to be relaxed and put on a heck of a fun show. Completing a stretch of four shows in seven days, we now have more than a week before our next gig. It's a great moment to reflect on what a good summer it has been so far and to look forward to many more awesome festival concerts, including a couple that will take place on this very same stage. See y'all at the Fair. --Josh

Bittersweeteus:
"What a fantastic way to spend the week of the 4th of July holiday. Seeing three of the four CherryPie shows was enough to fill my holiday. All three shows were fun, exciting, and unique in their own ways. Each show was full of excellent songs and the guys performed each one with their own musical expertice. And John, showing off his own sexy style and who was full of fun-loving antics, gave us all a fantastic performance and a great show of professional showmanship. I had a great time celebrating the holiday week with these fun-loving guys. It went fast, but at the same time, it was enjoyable. These CP guys can always guarantee us with "Nothing But a Good Time" that includes plenty of antics and professionalism. Also, I need to pass on a compliment that was given to me by someone that is very close, adored and loved by me. This person complimented you guys on the way you perform Metallica and always look forward to hearing it. They like the other songs too, but this one is far more their favorite."
