9.13.12 Holy smokes, Bullwinkle!….. I think all of us would have been thrilled to play to half a house…to get polite applause….to not have someone yell”Footloose!” What we HAD for our first show was an almost full Kent Theater with a crowd that stood and cheered and rushed the front to dance and sing along […]

9.13.12 Holy smokes, Bullwinkle!….. I think all of us would have been thrilled to play to half a house…to get polite applause….to not have someone yell”Footloose!”

What we HAD for our first show was an almost full Kent Theater with a crowd that stood and cheered and rushed the front to dance and sing along to songs they had never heard before from a band they didn’t know. They sat in full attention for the ballads, clapped along with the rockers and made our first show amazing. When it was over, Kenny, Georgia and I hugged each other in the dressing room, close to tears (also close to the ladies toilet), overcome with the emotions that came from having our show wildly surpass what we hoped and dreamed for the last two years. Almost the entire audience then stood in the lobby for over an hour to buy our merch and tell us how much they love the music and the band. What a night!

Help!

9.12.12 Oh my god…this whole bus is filled with people who are here simply because Kenny had a wacky idea and I said “yes”. I feel so responsible. I have been jumping to my feet to get people beverages and cheese all during our nine hour ride to Ohio. I have to learn to be haughty and aloof like a good little rock star. I hear our first show is at a cool club. I will be thrilled if we have a hundred people there. I’ll try to blog every night to let you know how it’s going.

What A Ride

Several years ago, I was performing at Sundance Resort in Park City, UT and had a day off. I decided to go on a scenic lift ride. I had never been on one before and it seemed like a nice idea to go be alone away from everyone. As the lift took me higher and […]

Several years ago, I was performing at Sundance Resort in Park City, UT and had a day off. I decided to go on a scenic lift ride. I had never been on one before and it seemed like a nice idea to go be alone away from everyone. As the lift took me higher and higher, I was elated to be free and hanging in the air like that. Looking ahead, I had the most beautiful view. Looking down, I could see the ground falling away at my feet. (more…)
