Harbour Company Show
I had never been to the Harbour Company before my performance. When I walked in, I could feel the laid back atmosphere. It was really a cool hangout for teens and adults. The Harbour Coffee Company was originally a Christian coffee shop, while Christian acts still perform there and I believe the majority of the patrons are still very religious, the Company has started to encourage non-secular acts to perform. That’s where I come in. I contacted the Company about performing and within a month, I had a show booked.
The staff was awesome. They helped me set up and pointed me in the right direction for my sound check. Kudos!
After I got set up and ran through a couple chords an older gentleman walked in and sat down in front. He knew my name although we never met. He said that he checkout my site and liked what he heard. He was a regular at the Harbour Company and had seen many acts there, so he decided to come on Friday night to listen for himself. We talked about music for a while before my first set, discussing influences and my musical background. As I began to play, he started taking notes (writing good things I hope) and rocking back and forth to the beat. He was really into it.
There were many other people there that came in and out through the night, but mostly the people that came stayed for at least one set. It is always great to have people come up to you and say, “Good job”, or “I really liked that song.” I think I made a couple fans that night.
I finished the show with an extended version of “Hey hey, My my” and I think people really dug it. The response was so good, I was asked to come back and play again in May or June.
