And once again, we’re reached our .. Review Time!!!
So yesterday was the SBL Show in Auburn Hills, MI. It started at 9 pm for me who was in London. (Still is by the way)
The first comment i have to make concerns the streaming. What an amazing quality! And despite a few moments when it froze or we lost the sound for a short time, it was a kick-ass job that they did last night. Congratulations!! And thanks for allowing us to enjoy the show from afar. I am glad that Deb could enjoy the show but we missed you on the chat!
So, first, Bill came on stage, made us laugh and feel at home. We watched the video from the Detroit News (If I ‘m not mistaken) and then the concert started! First was our most beloved Lea Haworth! She played Smoke, from the 100Monkeys and Tourist (the song that started all, in her own words). If you’ve been around the Euro site for a while, you know about my musical crush on her so, let’s just say she was amazing as usual.
After her, was Yet Cut Breath, blessing us with a musical Dream Team, at least for me, aka Jake Miller & Anna Morsett. Jake really has killer guitar skills, and combined with Anna’s voice, it was a real treat. Anna, we heard your prayer, we’ll try and send you a joke book for your tuning moments. But i’ld like to chip in and tell you one thing: we don’t mind a bit having to wait a little, if it is for awesome music. During her set, she played the song “Gate” from her CD “Hinges”. I’ld like to use the opportunity to introduce her new website: http://yetcutbreath.com/ !
The girls in the chatroom kept me Sweet Company during and between the sets, so thanks girls. It was a pleasure talking with you, and meeting other music fans. Because it is a well known fact that you can NEVER know too many music fans.
Then, in their smartest outfits, followed Drew and The Medicinal Pen! Only two musicians on stage, Drew and the Loveley Devley but damn they really rocked out the stage. They played old songs and new songs, and there is only one thing to say. Drew, when do you record those new songs so we can add them to our mp3 players, ipods and other music-stocking devices to enjoy them everywhere?
This complaint extends to a certain Shawn Fernando who came on stage after them. Not only he is the sweetest man i ever met, but man did he surprised us during that set! His first song was his usual, extremely powerful voice and keys but he followed with a song including…. wait for it … Yes! Rap!! And that was awesome! So Shawn, when can we get our greedy hands on your new music? *wink*
And after him Bill hoped on stage to introduce a man who does not really needs any introduction anymore. It was HAMMER TIME! Dr Hammer gave us some incredible news about the Spencer Bell Endowment, telling us about Spencer, and the Bell Family. A truly inspiring speech. In the news, he informed us about the incredible amount of money raised by the fund ( by that time it was quite late so my memory is not very reliable about the amount, if someone has it please email me so I can insert it), and introduced us to the very first Spencer Bell Scholar!
And it was the turn of.. EVRO! When you need someone to rock out a stage, you can count on them! Janelle, barefeet, wristbands dangling from her wrists was jumping around, singing and sharing such energy with the audience that i regretted not being there with my dancing buddies! They even played their covers of Billie Jean and Better Man.
Then was a slight change of program and the Kissing Club took over the stage! And that was really sweet. Once again, Jake’s guitar skills blew my mind away. He was joined on stage by several musicians including Anna Morsett. Told you it was a sweet set…
Then, the Toy Bombs followed. I discovered this band for the first time yesterday and I’m looking forward to discover them more. They were quite good live. If you don’t know them, take time to check them out. It is worth it.
And that’s where yours truly fell asleep at almost 3 am. Two bands were left: Mechanical People and the Stevedores.
I was quite unhappy with myself not being able to stay awake until the Stevedores were on stage, as I am a Stevedores girl.
If anyone wants to fill in, feel free!
To sum it up, an incredible music night bathed in a warm fuzzy feeling of friendship and gratitude.
Thanks to the musicians, thanks to the people who worked hard to make it possible, thanks Bill and…
Thanks Spencer.
