Blake’s Open Mic Last Night

I was all smiles on the walk home from my singing lesson yesterday. We were breaking new ground and finding new strength. I took my never-performed songs to Blake’s open mic on Telegraph. I saw my old friend Keith Shepperd there, along with T of Spacebag, and of course, Jacob Wolkenhauer. As I sound checked the piano for the 5th slot of the night, I had forgotten how echoey and strange the sound is there. It’s a dark underground basement with concrete walls. Many minor mistakes and smiles later, the first run of these songs had taken its course. Two good things about Blakes: 1. good friends and 2. a hard stage and sound system that means if you can play it well there, you can play it well most anywhere else. I plan to keep coming back.

Today I’m looking to solidify Sacramento and LA bookings. I’ll keep you posted. I design the cover of the EP as it gets mastered. I’m researching for my Professor and starting new MBA classes. Hope you’re doing well.
