Davy's band had a performance at It's a Grind last weekend that was downright ELECTRIFYING. Hey - I announced it twice on Facebook, so what can I say. If you snoozed... you loozed. And you loozed BIG TIME. They were all at the top of their game - although I need to mention they were down one violin player, but it was for a very happy and worthy occasion: best wishes and *congratulations* to Amelia on her graduation! :)
So the guys were in fine form and the crowd was large - I wish I had taken more photos. Jimmy the bass player was playing with gusto, even with his ripped shoulder ligaments - the reason the show was titled 'the Broken Shoulder show' in the first place. This refers to the recent wipe-out he and Davy had on their longboards. Not good. But I digress. Henry the violin player... was on fire! I thought he was going to combust at any moment.
Davy was in amazing voice and had some great solo performances, which everyone really enjoyed - excepting his bandmates which had been kicked off stage. He played some songs he had never performed before. Just the sight of him up there by himself was awesome. If you had told him even a few years ago he would be doing that, he would have never, ever - even remotely - believed you. Of course, he rarely thinks he sounds good, but such is the frustrating life of the performer. And of the mom that just wants to smack him around when he's like that.
They had a special guest too! Beloved and talented friend John Sanchez and his sombrero. We all love John. How can you not love John? They performed some totally cool songs they had collaborated on and of course they sounded fantastic. I'm sorry I didn't fix chicken nuggets for you John. I should have. You deserved them.
love our Liam, of course :)
the rising generation - Jimmy's younger brother David, the Mouse, and their friend Geoff
two of the most adorable girls on earth, Kara and Maren :)
Liam, Davy's girlfriend Valerie who is FINALLY back from India (yay!), and Val's dad David :)
Thanks to everyone who made it such a great evening! They'll be performing again on JUNE 19th!!!

ReplyDeletep.s- I love that Davy performs without shoes! I always did in high school and my sister ALWAYS yelled at me for it. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Lisa - I bet it is such fun to hear Chris' band! Do you have audio or video of them?
ReplyDeleteP.P.S. Alissa - it's a good thing he's just barefoot now - he used to be a LOT more bare than that! As in performing in just his spandex boxers....... long story. Just bare feet is much, MUCH better :D
