Let me say first off, “I know”. I had planned 2 blog posts per month…that was my plan. Well, life (travel) got in the way. Spent most all of April in South America, Chile and Argentina. I could blame it on no internet, but that wasn't the problem. I was just too enthralled with taking in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feels of Easter Island and Patagonia. But…. I'm back, show season is upon us and I'm excited for that first spring show.
Before that, I get to do one of my favorite musical activities. Saturday May 3 Miss Rebekah Hill's vocal music studio is holding their Spring Recital. I get the pleasure and honor to run sound for her students. I also get to break out the 12String and accompany 2 of the students with their songs. For most it will be their first time in front of an audience. I hope they get to feel and embrace the energy an audience brings to music.
I attended their rehearsal last night to work out the particulars of the songs I was to accompany and then took the time to listen to the rest of the vocalists. Let me tell you, I was thoroughly impressed. Each of these burgeoning artists, all in different stages of their endeavor to learn how to master the vocal instrument, will remember this coming Saturday for many years. They will be awesome!
My first spring show is Mother's Day at the sold-out Mother's Day Banquet. The show is at “The Farm” in Bloomingdale. My first patio show we bee up in Rockford Michigan at St. Julian Winery Tasting Room on May 24th. The rest of the current show schedule is up to date on the “Shows” tab.
Ready to Rock
