Tags: JCC On the Palisades, Jessica and Eric
A week after one 5-person version of the Lemons played at Hoboken’s Arts & Music Festival, another 5-person version put on a show. This time it was Kimberly who was missing.
Jessica and Eric, our faithful fans, invited us to come perform at their son’s preschool, and we all agreed it sounded like a fun gig, very different from anything else we’d done to that point. We viewed it as an experiment—if it went over well we could talk about booking lots of school shows and developing a set in that direction.
The only problem was, it would have to be on a weekday and Kimberly is a teacher with no way to take the day off. So we did it as an “unplugged” set (we had three mics for the lead singers) with no drummer… not very different from our very first set at Cabin Fever!
Rockin' the Nursery School
She made a nice DVD to commemorate the event; at some point I should be able to post a snippet of it here. The only other thing I remember about that day was that it was POURING rain.
We’ll be back at the JCC on Sept. 14th; Jessica has arranged for us to play a big fund-raiser for their preschool. I’m excited and eager to play this gig—it’ll be a real test of our abilities to (a) play a big auditorium (you should see the size of this place!) and (b) play to a non-Hoboken crowd that hasn’t already memorized our material.
Wish us luck!
Dave
