I played out at an open mic tonight at The Evening Muse, apparently the place to go for acoustic shows here in Charlotte. It was a cool little eclectic bar, nice venue. Order was decided by a lottery when we first got there. Jeremiah pulled out a number for us...#1, great. So we went first. He played djembe to a couple of my songs that he'd never heard before. It was a good time. The other performers varied from not good at all to quite excellent. My favorite was a guy from Ireland named Andrew Farmer. The first song he played was called Don't Run Away From Grace (check it out on his myspace). Then he offered a classic northern Irish bar song which was phenomenal. I wish I could've recorded it for you, it was that brilliant. Seriously, check out his stuff. I recommend it. And see, you never know what kind of free publicity an open mic gig will get you!
