SATURDAY,OCTOBER 30th; OMAHA NE – WOW. I just played my first ever show at Mick’s Music Bar in Omaha, Nebraska last night, and this is a first for me. I was booked as the headliner in the premier music listening room in a city I have never played before, relying on the press and on the opening act to encourage people to attend. I’ve been hanging out in Omaha for most of the week, playing open mics and meeting the people on the scene, and that helped a lot, too, but I have never taken it as a given that anyone who says, “Oh yeah, man; I’m DEFINITELY coming to your show!” will actually go.
Well last night, 57 people paid to get in. Not including the small guest list that my opener, John Henry, had. It was righteous, and way more than I expected. And the people were awesome! I fed off their energy; they fed off mine… and poof; there was a little magic in the room. (I barely noticed the one table that seemed to be from Flagstaff…) It was wonderful, and Michael Campbell, the guy who owns the place, is a gentleman and a scholar, and has done an incredibly good deed for this city. To everyone in attendance: THANK YOU so much for accepting me like you did. You made my week!! I’m gonna get stickers made that just say: “Omaha; Who Knew?” …These people are hungry for a good show, and I’m gonna send allllll my friends out this way… this town deserves it! :)
