Jul. 11th, 2005 12:48 amToday's Barefoot show was a lot of fun. I played mostly good notes on the bass with Dave and Tom. Goh was mesmerizing. Nick rocked out. Plenty of people showed up, which always helps. Even before the show started, I had fun watching the awesomely sleep-deprived staff trudge around. I am a cruel man.
There's no show next Sunday; on the 24th, we have local singer-songwriter Pamela Mosher, "twisted folk" group Vermillion Lies, and another TBA.
Tonight I went to see Sylvie Lewis and two other singer-songwriters at the Hotel Utah, where I haven't been since a completely unsatisfying visit to their open mike. I was late, and resigned to missing an opening act or two, but it turned out they were doing it song-circle style. So I guess I'm happy to have heard the other performers, but I would give up both of them to have caught Lewis's song "New York". Essie Jain played bass, had interesting songs, and her last one was great; Jeff Rolka was engaging but his voice didn't really grab me.
