TO SEE AND BE SEEN

Gigs can happen at any time. Especially when I’m not looking.

Story of my life.

Last night I was asked by Eve of the band Evolution if I was available for a show next Saturday June 15. Once I got my schedule under control, I said “I’m in!” So now I have three shows between June 15 and July 27.

Which means time for a string change.

Since it’s almost summer, why not go for yellow strings on my Ibanez Universe? I love these Aurora strings, really. They hold their tune and tone, as well as look cool. Gets people talking too. I like to see the looks on peoples’ faces, and to be seen.

The gigs are listed on the UPCOMING EVENTS page of this site. Two shows will be with Evolution, one with Rock Hard. Evolution does covers ranging from AC/DC to Weezer, as well as Violent Femmes, Cranberries and Alanis. Last gig I did with them back in October, Eve asked if I knew “Man I Feel Like A Woman” by Shania Twain.

I learned it on stage!

Rock Hard, as the name implies, does hard rock, heavy metal, grunge by bands including Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Hole, Living Colour, Audioslave, etc. I like that these bands (and Supernova as well…when’s the next gig, guys?) have such a wide repertoire. I never feel bored.

So my wish to perform shows in the summer is happening. I like that.

I hope you do too.
