Updates- Hudson Graduation Party

So I have to say that guest appearing for Kool Stream Runnin' (KSR) at the grad party was really cool! I love our acoustic duo but there is something really cool about hearing an entire band behind you too.

They played a great show and one thing is for sure... they bring the energy to the room! I think at the beginning people were shy but soon enough there were dancers out on the floor making dancing circles and doing conga lines! My job as the guest was to bring a little softer side and slow things down. It was a lot of fun and I'd definitely do it again sometime!! Everyone played great and a special shout out to my partner Steve who really kicks butt on the electric guitar! He does some pretty smooth acoustic but boy does he come alive on electric!

I'm really glad that they asked me to join them and I'm looking forward to the next gig :)

Updates- Visit to Main Street Cafe

We went to visit The Main Street Cafe as planned. We came before the entertainment started so we could meet Bob the owner. Him and his wife were super nice and you can tell they really love what they do. The meals were awesome and the prices were great! I had the pesto tortellini and I must say it was excellent!! Everyone at the table really enjoyed their dishes. They have pretty amazing desserts too! I shared a ricotta and raspberry filled crepe with ice cream and whipped cream on the side. The whole thing was drizzled in chocolate! MMM soooooo good!!

The band playing was Scott & Russell. They played original acoustic instrumentals that were really great! I'm glad we went to hear it! But... I told my husband we'd make it an early night so we got up around 8:00 and went to say our goodbyes to Bob. While we were chatting, the band took a little break. As we turned to head out, Bob ran over to them and on the spot asked us to play!!! What??? I was so shocked!! I just ate a huge delicious meal and dessert, I was in no position to try singing!! But who could say no to such an awesome offer!!! So we got 4 songs! We played: Annie's Song, If I Ain't Got You, It Ain't Over Till It's Over, and Women Be Wise. There was an audience of about 20-25 people so they got a little dose of what's to come on Sept 2nd.

So for anyone interested in coming... here are a few things to keep in mind:

The cafe is a restaurant. Everything is funded by your purchases of meals or desserts. If you come, come hungry. We are only paid by tips. They love having people come in to stay and relax but they need the support from you to keep this little venue operating and available for musicians.

Music starts @7:00PM but you can come early to get a table and have a bite to eat (although the do serve you all night). The place seats 52 so we hope to pack the place!

What we're up to....

Open Mic #2- Tupelo 8/5/10

We haven't had much time for practice since the last open mic between events and me getting sick. Steve was on vacation and wasn't planning to come. Fortunately, Ron and Bill talked him into it! Just hours before the show began, Steve asked if I'd be ready to sing... and well... even though I was a little nervous about how I'd sound after getting over a cold... I knew I'd regret it if I didn't try. So we went for it!! Here's how we did! I goofed on one of them but hey it's all for fun right? ;)
We did It Ain't Over Till It's Over and Annie's Song.
