Upcoming Gig

Jun 27, 2012 10:29


My band is playing a gig this Saturday night at Hotel Utah in San Francisco. One of my favorite venues, lots of energy and good vibes. We're expecting a good crowd.

For playing live, an enthusiastic crowd is essential to a good set. Writing, of course, is a very solitary pursuit, but with music, the interaction with people is a huge part of it. It's pretty hard to summon up enthusiasm if you're playing in front of five or six uninterested people. (And anyone who plays out has experienced that particular horror during their career, believe me.)

We're debuting a bunch of new songs, then going into the studio the next week to lay down the roughs for our new CD. If anything listenable comes out of the session. I'll post it here.

Meanwhile, I've started on a new MG book -- an adventure fantasy. Every new book I write, I remember a basic truth that I seem to forget between books -- writing is hard.
