The Wind

Great first gig on the west coast of the states! I played the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood the other night and got a very warm welcome. First on the bill at 7PM but I had a great little crowd of friends and newfound friends. Come my third song I could see a gaggle of pals trickling in and congregating at the back by the bar, and familiar faces peeping out of the shadows taking tables at the front, great feeling for a first L.A show- thank you all for getting down there so early!
Hotel Cafe is a cool spot, I’ve heard much about the place and it lived up to it’s reputation. Great sound and stage… and a piano!
Getting a cluster of new songs in the set too which is exciting. Been opening with this song ‘Downtown’ recently, played it at The Boogaloo first time in January and then again at The Half Moon, another new one I’m settling into is called ‘End Of A Dream’. I played both of these and a brand new one that I wrote here in Venice called ‘The Wind’ that one seemed to stand out from the applause- it was the first time I played it so I don’t know if the audience picked up on that energy, but a good reaction!
Couldn’t have asked for a kinder welcome from the people I’ve met here in L.A. Made some great new friends and little connections here and there which are exciting. Wanna keep writing while I’m on this travelers energy! Thanks to everyone who came out to the show.
