The first show of my tour went amazingly well. It was at the Saxon Pub. Over forty people showed up to see me perform from local Rennies to cat lovers, some podcast subscribers and even family. For a Sunday afternoon that is usually pretty dead at the Saxon, it was a smashing success.
The one tough part for me was my cold. I caught one a week ago before I left Austin after setting the A/C too cold and blowing on me at night. My voice was a bit hoarse, but no one seems to have thought anything of it.
I introduced a bunch of songs from Happy Songs of Death, as well as a nice mix of music from my growing catalog. I wish I recorded the show, but what with the voice a little under the weather, I just didn't feel like it. But today, I'm feeling better. So hopefully by the time I arrive in Springfield, Missouri for my coffee house gig, I should be in a better shape vocally.
With any luck, the Saxon went well enough that mayhaps I'll have another show there in the coming months. I'm hoping to do a CD release in Austin in late August if I can find a venue for it. So stay tuned.
Meantime, Mid-West get ready for me! 🙂
