BOY MEETS THE SHOP

Listening to: "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by The Smashing Pumpkins

What an amazing night last night at The Shop Bar and Grille in Painesville, OH! This was my debut performance with The DB Project, and a good one at that! First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for everyone that came out to support us! The only thing that makes a night of playing music better is good company, and we had that in spades! So, thank you!

I truly didn't know what to expect. I've played so many shows in the past 25ish years, but it has always been original music. Things that I'm not used to as a musician that has played in original bands: big crowds, singing along, dancing, cheering, applause, getting paid, and calluses from playing for more than 30 mins. All of these things were fun and exciting for me! I'm very grateful for this opportunity to play music again!

Also, the weather was truly amazing last night for mid-March in northeast Ohio. We actually had to open the windows in the bar so it wasn't too hot. (It was still a little hot) I also got to sneak out and enjoy a beautiful full moon, which was really nice. (Quick side ramble; I've been learning about & loving astrology lately, so it was extra nice to enjoy a full moon on an already great night.) All in all, it was a 10/10 experience, and I'm excited to play more soon!

Sharing a clip from the gig, but there are more on YouTube if you feel like poking around!
