Oh wait… no I’m not.

This kind of stuff doesn’t generally faze me. When it comes to performance, I generally EXPECT the worst possible scenario, equipment-wise. Perhaps that’s because my last band could not manage to get through a gig without some major equipment malfunction.

Every. Single. Time.

So, like… if Dave had arrived that night and said, “We’ve got no PA for tonight”, I’d likely have responded… “Okay. I’ll sing loud.”

I guess I’m sort of the Forrest Gump of live sound tech.

In any event, I would say that the Church Square Park gig included some of our best performances, and some of our worst of the summer. We had a couple low points, but we also came closer to genuinely rocking out on some of those songs than we ever have. Some lapses in concentration, yes, but overall I think it was a good show for the audience, and a great experience for the band.

Yes, totally weird being on that gazebo and only being able to see sections of the audience depending on which side of the pillar you leaning towards, but also very nice being up high and able to see the people way in the back singing and dancing along.

My favorite part of the show was the last three or four songs… we had hit a stride, the audience was loose, and we had a big group dancing down in front of the stage. It’s so great to see parents losing themselves in a moment, dancing and laughing and just having a great time!

Playing in this band is without doubt one of the coolest things I’ve ever been involved with.
