Charles Smith manages bands.  And makes wine.  We stopped by his warehouse to catch Big John Bates during the Wine Bloggers’ Conference, and took a few photos of the band and its Live Strippers in Action.

Beam Me Up, Stripper!


Starting to strip…


Got ass, will dance…


Come On, baby, light my fire…


All that’s left of the strippers…the dress.

    Heh heh heh… there is actually a difference between stripping and burlesque. Strippers make money and burlesque dancers don't. We tend to fall into the latter category. ;)

      Hey so glad that you stopped by! Using the word “stripper” vs. burlesque also tends to get more attention to the story: (See http://www.anotherwineblog.com/archives/8972 ) So they don't pay you guys? Or you just don't get “tips” while performing? Speaking of, it really was a great performance. Great show by the musicians as well!
