Tried a new thing last night

Set list on the side of the guitar.

Last night at Viento y Agua

I played Viento y Agua Coffee House last night with Blue in the Face, a piano / guitar / laptop duo from Portland, Oregon. I had a good time. The crowd was sparse but the environment is so cool and the sound is so phenomenal that playing there is a pleasure no matter what. It was the first show I’d played there (I’ve played some open mic nights) and Angie does a great job on the sound and making you feel welcome. I hope to be back there soon.

For those of you who missed it (and you know who you are), audio and video are below. I tried a little experiment of playing a bunch of short, similar songs all together right up front. I have mixed feelings about that approach. You can leave me your impressions in the comments.

Here’s the video. Audio is below it.

Head Rush

Kari Byron’s Head Rush starts this week. More Kari is always a good thing.

This hurts my head.

Last night at Viento y Agua

I played Viento y Agua’s open mic last night in advance of my show there tomorrow. It wasn’t as packed and crazy as the last time I played there but it was a strong crowd and the performers were eclectic again. It’s a great space and has a great welcoming vibe. I played “Frankly.” It went well, I thought.
