STEVE POLTZ PHOTOS

December 1997 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach

All pictures taken by Ted Tarris and cannot be used by anyone without written permission from him.

I believe this was the first show that the Rugburns played without Stinky. Stinky had quit the band due to personal reasons and the Rugburns had bassist John's brother on drums. Although he's not the showman that Stinky was, he is a pretty solid drummer and does a good job. This was one of those shows were everyone was up onstage, including Jewel, Frank from Loam, former Rugburn bassist Gregory Page, and a special surprise appearance by co-founder Rob "the Doctor" Driscoll. I had a bunch of pictures, but gave them all away to band members, so once I get them printed again, I'll post them.

In order to promote an upcoming show with the Dragons at the Casbah, Steve wore his Dragons t-shirt. Isn't it great?!?!

You know for years, Jewel was known as just "that chick that would come up and sing a few songs with the Rugburns". Here they are, just like old times.
