Eric Hutchinson & recent tales...
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 1:57PM So much has been happening lately. Some exciting shows have taken place lately, including my May 15th show with recording artist Eric Hutchinson at St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN.
I had the honor of opening up the show. Just myself and my beat up Takamine. It was awesome to be on stage in front of all of those new faces (room hit capacity by the end of the night at around 900). My set was short and sweet... but it felt incomplete. So often when I play a show, especially if we're headlining, I feel complete afterwards. Full. Satisfied. As though I just ate a double wrapped Chipotle burrito with all of the added amenitites (even the guac for $1.80 extra). But after THIS 30 min set, I was still hungry for more. I felt like I hadn't properly introduced my music to the people yet... I had so many more tunes... so many more jokes and stories.
And then without a heads up, I was summoned to the stage by Alison Scott to sing a song w/ her... and I ended up rocking a tambourine solo. I think we sounded pretty good between all the laughing.
Eric took the stage and rocked the night out... and after spending a little time in the green room with the other two bands, I realized more and more how much my heart desires this life. A little bit of road, a lot of elbow grease, suitcases, asking for wi-fi, hummus, new faces, new fans, other artists, new friendships and new inspirations... oh and some music in there too.
Patrick Henry said "give me liberty or give me death," at the Virginia Convention in 1775. Music is my liberty. The stage is my home. This is my Revolution.
Thank you for making it all possible.
