In Concert: Purple Apple

Teenagers, just starting out. But dang you can really see [hear] some potential there. Some sassy well-done originals. Some great covers. (They killed on Joan Jett.) I’m excited to see where they go from here.

The lead singer is my friend’s niece. The dude who mixes their stuff is my other friend’s brother. Obviously I would probably not have heard of them otherwise. But I brought people to the show who didn’t have those connections and they saw the potential as well!

In Concert: Joseph Arthur

Of course if you’ve listened to his albums, you know this dude is multi-talented, can swing from style to style, can sing in various ranges, etc., etc…but hearing him live STILL blew my mind.

He made every song sound fresh and new, but not in that “I must sing this so it sounds nothing like it does on the album” way that some groups seem so intent on live. More in a “this song is a platform for me to show you a new creation” way.

All by himself up on stage but he filled the room with sound like he was a 10-piece band. So awesome.
