Sentient Bean
J-
Savannah is a beautiful place. Lots of parks and open spaces, and while walking around one can't help but feel the historic city vibe. We got to town a bit early and got a chance to walk around the Downtown Historic District, which basically is the home of SCAD. SCAD is a ruthless gang of criminals that hide between
the bricks of the old city looking for unsuspecting visitors to pillage!! Just Kidding! SCAD is the Savannah College of Art and Design, one of the most regarded schools of design in the country, and it gives the downtown area it's artistic vibe.But on with the show...We got to the Sentient Bean early enough to chill and eat before setting up. Very nice place with a simple and useful stage and layout. Easy load in and sound check (hell it's real easy when it's just one guitar and two vox lines!
). We sound checked and waited, and waited...only this time not as long. We zoomed through our first set, realizing how beautiful some of our songs sound when we almost whisper them in an empty hall. Haha.The crowd filled in towards the end of our first set and we decided to take a VERY SHORT break between the sets in order to keep the ears in the seats. I mean we basically ran to the bathroom, to a swig of water, and jumped back on stage to do another 50 min set. The set was accented for me by one instance where Laura turns to me and asked 'What song is th
is?' after I had started the intro In Style, a song off of our first release! We both laughed about it after the show; after the crowd bought a decent amount of merchandise and wished us well.There's a bit of a theme running in coffeehouse shows- empty at the beginning, then lively at the end. I think it's the fact that they drink coffee; because at most bars where they sell alcohol, the crowd starts off lively and by the end of the night, they're falling all over each other. Roadhouse style! ahahaha!
Sentient Bean is a great place though. Awesome vibe. Full vegetarian menu. And super friendly staff! We hope to return and play there again soon. If you go to Savannah, find the Sentient Bean on the E. Park Ave and order the Zesto Pesto sandwich!!! The most amazing vegetarian sandwich I've ever had!! I can't divulge it's contents, but damn, order this sandwich!!
Off to Atlanta for a show tonight!! See ya' then.

First to comment, hahaha! So, dig this. I had a dream last night that you and Laura wrote and performed an acoustic salsa song. Maybe it was because I watched the movie 'El Cantante' before going to bed. Does this idea deserve any credence? It sounded amazing in the dream and being acoustic made it even more interesting. So, I will be checking the website looking for that new track!

The tour sounds like it's killing! Certainly the pix of the venues are cool and it sounds like you're getting real positive responses. Enjoy the experience and see you next weekend at the fabulous Tartan club in the Weems metropolitan area! :)
