Hey all,
Yes, it feels like we're slowly emerging from this dark tunnel and there may be some live music happening again soon. Even the Baked Potato has reopened - at 1/2 capacity which means only 20 people in the club. HA!
Mike in Chicago; first of all, thank you for hanging on to your original 2020 tickets. It seems over 80% of the audience did that, which is amazing! July 28 & 29 are the first shows of this twice-rescheduled tour and there is still a bit of concern. Because it was essentially a sold out tour, by the time we get there all venues in all states need to be able to operate at 100% capacity. Plus the audiences members need to feel comfortable being in large crowds again... As long as our virus numbers keep going down and vaccine numbers up, I think we'll be ok. But you can see it's still a gamble on how soon we'll be able to operate "normally". Hopefully it will happen as planned, this time.
Jazzyvee, what people like musically is of course all over the map so you might want to check it out a bit to see if it appeals to you on some level. JT's music is generally pretty mellow - but one of the things we all like about it is that it includes a variety of musical styles and dynamics. And I think his lyrics are quite amazing - plain (American) English words but with deep meanings which can be interpreted in different ways. He's a clever poet.
Cheers to all.
Music is about to make a comeback!
