Music on my mind
After a many year hiatus, I have been performing quite a bit lately. It started earlier this summer when my sister was visiting. She hadn't seen me play in many years and she asked if I could schedule some small scale coffee house gig somewhere during the time she would be in town. I found an open-mic show in the downtown area and did four or five of my original songs for her. It was so much fun, the following week I started looking around for other places to play and dusting off some of my old material. I did the next 13 consecutive Wednesdays at a small club in Cary with a lovely outdoor patio performance area. Another musician buddy of mine called and invited me to split a Friday night show with him at this coffee house in Apex. After the show, we went to the sports bar near to the coffee house and found out that the sports bar owner was looking for live music as well. We have been playing there every weekend for the past 5 weeks.
Having a steady gig has helped to motivate me to finish some of those incomplete songs I had lying around and has really whipped my voice back into shape. I'm certain I will be playing more around the area as I have been getting a pretty good response from the people who have been out to listen. You can check my myspace profile if you would like to see my performing schedule.
