Last night I played Singer-Songwriter showcase at The Camel here in Richmond . It was one of the most enjoyable shows I have been too in a long time. I could sit and listen for hours at all the talented singer-songwriters playing last night. Its just my kind of music. I think some of them have obviously been performing for quite some time. All of them were good, but the one that stood out to me the most was a man that played a song called "Western Civilization Blues". It was so poignant and well played. I enjoyed this because I felt the show wasn't over kill. I just did about 25 minutes of all my best and most popular numbers. I got to sing to tracks as well- and it sounded swell in that superb sound system that they have.
But really listening to other songwriters (particularly local) is obviously the kind of show I want to go see - and something I need to do more often. Because I often feel most inspired by these types of performances. There is something wistful about it. They can take you to another place. It makes me feel as if I'm watching one of my favorite episodes of Mama's Family. Its so much better than that jungle jive I hear blasted from people's automobiles at all hours of the night. I'm so glad I went . I haven't performed at The Camel in over two years, and it was so wonderful to be back. I have a slew of shows the month of October. Here are some. Please come if you're close!
