Played a show at a mid-sized club in Hilo Hawaii last night. I had a really good time with Friends. Everyone at the club was very generous and the room had about 40-50 folks. Bout right for that space if you ask me. I added a few photos from the show in the old Myspace Gallery.. check um..
I was not sure how it would work out here with my style of music. Seems like folks are into soul music in general out here. That is where I seem to fit in. Got a lot of comments about how nice it was to hear something different.. quite a bit of Reggae/Dub out here which makes good sense for the Island.
Looking to do a house concert out here soon as well.. The core group we are hanging with have a nice number of friends that are interested in hearing the music. I like all these people..
what else?
we did a bit of touristy stuff yesterday on the East side of the island. The first spot we pulled up to was a lava flow.. miles and miles of hardened lava.. crazy patterns.. very neat stuff.
Second place we pulled up to was a beach park but had an ambulance and fire truck there.. a local guy told us to stay back because there was a murder the night before. Yikes! apparently someone was found down on the cliffs.. either jumped or was thrown down there.. no good.. put a little bit of a grey cloud on the mood.
still managed to have a nice day up until gig time.. then it got really fun. I played a solid gig and met some nice folks.. sold some CD’s, made some tips, and met some new friends..
good times..
