J-Played the world famous Tobacco Road last night and it was a great night. First off, we want to dedicate the show to the underage crew that tried to get in to the show and couldn't! So to Sorraya, Jess, Ryan, and Saralee, hurry up and get older so you can enjoy the show! I tried to find a way in for you guys, but the doorman was a major ball-buster!
So we got on stage around 10 and had a great set. Laura killed it on the cover that we did of Sweet Jane and on our original Waving from the Whims; I was listening so intently to Laura because I love the song and what she does with it. The crowd was silent as the grave while we played, which we completely appreciate and, being that it's Miami, completely did not expect. It's Miami; mute people talk loud out here! We had an really good hour set ready, but it was cut a tad short by the promoter because for some reason, he forgot some other act that had also been booked. So we cut 2 songs off the set and when he told us we only had one song left, we played two! I basically took us from Hell Don't Want Us Anymore right into a crack-head fast version of Gillian Welch's I Wanna Sing that Rock 'n Roll. It's a good song that gives us a chance to showcase our penchant for harmonizing. Our harmonies are one of our key features and we nailed them last night.
We got off the stage and tried to stay quiet while the next act got on, and for the most part we did while sharing some good drinks with everyone there. I was double fisted at one point, thanks to some friends. Check out this musician, Fernando Perdomo, from Dreaming in Stereo. He is an incredible musician and performer.
A quick note about Tobacco Road: Legend has it that they have the oldest liquor license in Miami. The number on it is actually "1". So, it's got mad vibe. We'll play there again, but next time we'll play it with a whole band sometime in late fall or early spring when the new songs get written.
Next stop: Savannah after a travel day!
Cheers,
Calahoney
