Unexpected Surprise

So, I have to say driving over to Clancy’s the other night, I was questioning my sanity a little bit.  I couldn’t believe I was driving out to a show after another full weekend, feeling exhausted and tired.  Not knowing what to expect, or if we would just be playing for a few bar flies eating corned beef. Once, I hit Broadway though I could hear the sound of Give Up the Girl from about 2 blocks away.  It was driving with a heavy strong, emotional sound and suddenly I just got in the mood to get up and rock.

Apparently the guys were in the same mood because the show turned out to be really fun. The fellas were on point and after that initial song or two warming up, we were all well in sync. Sweat was pouring into my eyes and down my forehead. What a way to get a workout. We played my new song “Different” and  I was really happy to do so, because it is a song that really makes me happy to sing. The audience was there listening and digging it, and so were we.  Not a bad way to spend a Sunday night after all.

Happy Birthday Mr Ellis!

We all came together this week to celebrate the birth of Mr. Jon Lee Ellis, our drummer. It turned out to be a great night. Jon is very talented and shares the love with many different musical outfits.  We all had a chance to jam at his party.  It was an amazing evening and everyone had a blast.  It just reminded me of what a tremendous blessing it is to get to play with The Brigade.  Stay tuned for upcoming shows through out the next months and witness his magical percussion style for yourself.
