we played a new venue this week

[TwoNotesSolo]

Our band tried a new venue this week, a little out of the way, but they have a large stage and a sound man and PA so setup was easy.
The place was called "Spirits Music Hall" so I figured it was referring to the distilled kind of spirits, so it was a bit of a surprise to see the decor
Their beer selection sucked but they have a great mixologist and the band gets free drinks!
We had a decent crowd for a snowy Wednesday night, and we're already plotting to get back in the fall as part of a double-bill.






We've also started playing a few originals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqDd5RERPSo

Oh your just rubbing it in now dang how much we have to pay you up in Grand Rapids!!

 

[Elio]

Cool stage! Did you get to pick the M&M colors in the green room as part of your contract?

 

[TwoNotesSolo]

No, all they had was pizza and cheap beer

We're playing at Nissi's on the 15th, one of the premium venues in the area (at least when it comes to our kind of bands) and I heard their green room makes you feel like you're a real rock star.

We need to up our game for social media recording, the camera for YouTube is OK but it keep squashing the sound and doesn't have much low end.
I'm looking for ways to record Live sound to overdub the videos.

I'm so old, my attention wanders if a sentence has more than 3 or 4 words in it.

Well done Chris!

@TwoNotesSolo what is the instrument the guy in the blue plaid shirt is wearing? A tenor guitar? Looks like it's 4 strings, but you clearly have the bass nailed down.

 

[TwoNotesSolo]

It's a custom made cigar box guitar, he started with one actually made from a cigar box, but found this guy in England that will make a custom body.
It's tuned in open G: G-D-G-B

Cool venue and what's better than a red green room
