4/24/10 at The Evening Muse

What a fun night!  It was lovely seeing Bess Rogers again.  I really love her Travel Back EP...you should buy it:)

Anyway, This was my first show as a trio.  Jeff, Flav, and I practiced a few times and they seemed fine.  I was very worried about how to play without a drummer.  But I think we actually sorta pulled it off.  I listened back to the show the other day and there was only one song that I thought maybe we shouldn't have done sans drummer.  I also was kind of disgusted with my banter.  It sounded like I was quite the b*%#h...so if you were there...so sorry!  I'm really not, I just get that way (I guess) when I'm nervous.

About those darn nerves...The show SOLD OUT!!  Which is amazing!  That was my first headlining show that sold out The Evening Muse...YEA.  But, you see, I'm very nervous before and after a show more than I am actually on stage.  There is nowhere to hide at The Muse, unless you hide in bar down the street.  I used to do that which led to my semi-alcoholic phase which is partly why I don't drink at all anymore.  I don't know how to relax anymore without alcohol.  So I spent part of the opening set listening from outside in the rain.  Good thing I'm not one of those girls who spends a lot of time on her hair ;)

Even with the nerves I had a really fabulous time and got to finish the night singing with my favorite band gogoPilot.  All in all - one heck of a great night!!  Thanks to all of you that made the night so special by selling out the Muse!  Also a big thanks to the street team for making it happen.  AND one last thank you goes out to my new friend and "Head of Promotions", KRISTY!!
