I just finished up a show at the Living Room, and am once again struck by the supportive nature of the New York music scene. It always amazes me to see so many smiling musicians in the audience. Better than Nashville, where they fold there arms and stare you down, making the experience feel more like an audition than a performance… at least that’s been my experience anyway.
I was also blown away by the other acts on the bill. Rachael Davis
( http://www.myspace.com/rachaeldavismusic ) might have the best female voice I’ve ever heard. She reminded me of Patty Griffin, only she was capable of so much more. The last group, Harper Blynn, is probably two months away from being rock stars… after seeing them, a friend had to hold me back from smashing my acoustic guitar. I need to learn how to rock again like I did in sixth grade! I’m on it now.
