And it was foxy.

The concert. It was so good...... A special thanks to my husband, for allowing me to indulge in my love of live music now and then. There is something lovely about being there. Getting sucked in to the music, the movement. Feeling the sound course through my body. Watching the performers exude passion and talent. This show was somewhere between mellow (Like when I went to see Sondre Lerche and everyone was sitting cross-legged on the floor) and energetic (when I went to see Fictionist and everyone was dancing their hearts out), probably because it was a seated show. Everyone wished they were dancing... it's weird to walk out of a concert with a sore backside rather than a sore everything from dancing.

Anyways, benches aside, the show was great. After the local openers finished up, these guys from NYC came out to play. Harper Blynn. Never heard of them before, but now I am so glad I know them now! They can sing. Heartmelting harmonies, I tell you. Their songs are fun, energetic, and genuine. And, they have great style, too. They were Greg Laswell's band for the night, and they added an extra buzz of energy to his lovely compositions. The house was packed, but even still, Greg's portion, especially when it was just him and the piano, was really awesome and intimate. It felt so good to be there. It was everything I ever dreamed of! I feel so fulfilled after finally seeing him live. It's something that I've wanted for about five years.

I'm lame and forgot my camera. But, there they are. Somewhere else.
And, before I go, Harper Blynn performed an awesome, though unexpected cover that I just can't keep to myself-


They had the place rockin...
