Last year I was part of a garage band put together by the Napa School of Music. We had two performances at a local club and I had a blast doing it. So, I decided to do it again this year. This time we have three guitar players, including me, one of whom has been playing for 30+ years, so he's our ringer. The catch is that he's a metalhead, so there's that feel with everything he plays. Our lead female singer and our bass player are both high school seniors, so that's a bit different as well. On the plus side, the bass player loves the blues, so I got them to add Further On Up The Road to the song list and she wanted to do a Samantha Fish song called Kick Around. Her father is the other guitar player. Some of the songs are more pop-flavored than I'd like, but it's an opportunity to play some different stuff.
We're fortunate to play this time at the Blue Note Napa (https://www.bluenotenapa.com/). They're known for jazz acts, but they have all kinds of music mixed in.
I hope to have some video posted after the first show (unless I suck, in which case it will be deleted).
Here's our song list. I'm singing the lead on Running Down A Dream, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Further On Up The Road:
Running Down A Dream – Tom Petty
Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar
Gloria - Laura Branigan
One Way or Another - Blondie
Addicted to Love – Robert Palmer
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
Further On Up The Road – Eric Clapton
Kick Around/Old Time Rock and Roll – Samantha Fish/Bob Seger
I Love Rock and Roll – Joan Jett
