Special thanks to Etai, my brother Jim, Laila, Dennis, Chelsea, Dave, Wes, JP, Sean, Alex, Jake, Karina, Kristen, Jimmy, Gwen, Megan, Ellen, Sierra, Elizabeth, Amelia, Tim, Kevin, Toby, Hazel, Lauren, Jacob, Robyn Harris and Chris Trapper for making the night successful. I know I forgot some people, so if I did, please know that we play so much better when you come out and we really appreciate the time you shared with us. I will post pictures from last night in our Photos section when I get home from work (I have the camera here, but left the card reader at home). It was a night of solid song writers. Robyn was self-deprecating about her hand in the night, when really, she had put together a great bill and all the seats were filled. Granted the door man, Rob, was totally drunk from 6:30pm on, but thanks to my brother Jim for picking up the slack at the door. There was also one fellow who had to be removed from the club to keep him from yelling at the stage, but perhaps this is the price of an intimate bar. The performers talked with the audience, who easily spoke back. So intimate it was that Chris Trapper, the touring headliner, left the stage to sit next to Dave in the audience and sing him a birthday song. We played one of our newer tunes “Slow Down” and I was happy Ellen and Megan recognized it. Robyn had some new tunes as well, accompanied by the pitch perfect starlets Elizabeth and Amelia. It was our first time playing there and I must say that until 9pm, I was very doubtful about the space, but then it filled and we got all the benefits of an intimate cafe, except add in alcohol and a sound guy other than myself. I am lucky for the new friends I met. Each person who came was extremely supportive of the artists, regardless of who they came for and I suspect that it is these people who hold up the SF music scene and keep it alive. The people I met last night are those who realize all the acts are striving together toward the same awareness and the same good feeling. For their vibrance and understanding our band is truly grateful. Please let us know how we can come support you in the future. -Grace
