Last night at Viento y Agua

the Hit On List's Merch TableI 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.

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.
