My First ‘Show’ - Part 1
I probably should have blogged about this a lot sooner, but better late than never.
In my previous blog ‘The 5 Mistakes Beginners Make‘, the 5th one was not playing in front of people. Well, last Friday was my chance to do so.
On Friday May 2nd, I was fortunate enough to open for a few local bands in my area–my first “almost official gig” I guess you could say. Not a whole big crowd or anything really, but it is something that will be memorable and taught me a few lessons.
My friend Kat was putting on free local shows, renting out her church the first Friday of each month for any local bands looking for some exposure. Originally, I was going to do my own acoustic set with my friend Crystal (an amazing singer by the way), since we had done some acoustic stuff together for my highschool talent show in the past.
So I was looking through my iTunes playlist for some good acoustic cover songs we could do together, while talking to another friend about starting a little band project up in the summer. I had mentioned that I was invited to play a show, and asked if he wanted to play the guitar as well. So now our original acoustic set had turned into a trio with acoustic and electric guitars…
Take a look at this video of me and Crystal covering ‘Hey There Delilah’ by the Plain White T’s for my senior year highschool talent show.
