I just returned home from a three week road trip where I traveled the West playing music at every kind of venue imaginable. Lots of folks have been asking me to start a blog where I can pass on some of the stories from the road. I'm finally getting around to doing that. I'll start with some of the highlights from the first week:
Spokane, WA - The Boulevard
The third show on the tour was at The Boulevard in Spokane. Located downtown, about a mile from Gonzaga University, I knew from the word "go" that my music would be outside the norm for the demographic that frequented this alternative music bar. What I did not know, was that I was opening for Karaoke. I have opened for a lot of folks, but never for the Karaoke King, my sound man. Have you ever seen a Karaoke Queen or King angry because they had to wait to show the world how great they are? I have now.
The funny thing about Karaoke is that no matter were you live, or the demographic of the local superstars, they all sing the same music. The Eagles, Garth, Johnny Cash, John Denver, and Hank Jr. Nothing like hearing all my mentors' songs done in alt rock style. Things had to get better... right?
