That's over
So the weekend of four shows has come and gone. I am sunburned and tired, but it really went very well except for our street party gig getting rained out (gig two on Saturday). We set up, started playing and a HUGE GINORMOUS thunderstorm drenched us and our speakers and after we tore everything down in a gale the sun came out and it got gorgeous, except all the electronics were soaked and if we'd plugged in it would have been nothing but blown speakers and thousands of dollars in repair.
It went, for the record - Friday at one of the most important venues in our local area's beer garden as an audition for one of the three big stages they have inside - we killed it, but my brother got heat stroke and had to sit for the last set as it was about 98 degrees and a billion percent humidity. I was also quite ill afterward, but the show went well.
Saturday we opened a new festival in a town near the river. We killed it, but very few people were there, however our MOM came out to see part of it and she never does that. Plus her pal R. also came. It was very nice.
Then we went to a local brewpub with some of our fans and had a lovely lunch, then on to the street party in the city and the horrible rainout.
Today we played a charity event for veterans, where we raised more than $5000 to help repair the homes of veterans in need. We hung out with some incredible local musicians and I was actually on the bill with someone who sings better than I do. She was the only one of the dozen or so female singers there who did, but it almost never happens and WOW. She was great. Plus they did originals.
I strongly, strongly suggest you check them out and buy their album when it drops in October. DAMN.
Also, now that I have read the detailed bio and see she was a vocal performance major and pro musical theatre actor, I don't feel so bad seeing I never studied past high school.
