Two very interesting reactions took place at last night's performance. First, we established ourselves as committed local artists who can stand and deliver. As one new fan said last night: "Damn, you guys can REALLY play." Most of our gigs to-date have been chill. We were learning to come together, to listen to one another, and to make a clear effort at communicating new music. As is always the case with a new band, things were ragged at first. And while there are still a few minor hiccups to work out after last night, we're moving in the right direction. Second, this was not just a performance before our friends. In the first few months of going public we did house concerts, church events, etc. where the crowd was mostly friends and family. Like any creative endeavor, it is important to start out in safe spaces. And we worked that vein well. Last night was much more serious so the music had to win over those who had never heard us before - and thankfully the Spirit was with us. We were able to share a little love and hope in a dark time with a bit of beauty and finesse. Thanks be to God.
