A jazz musician is someone who puts a $5,000 horn in a $500 car and drives 50 miles for $5 gig.
Now, I'm by no means a jazz musician, but that's the joke that was going through my head as I drove the 12 plus hours out to Milwaukee to play at John Paul Spencer's Album Release. If you have read this blog previously, you may remember in 2012, when we went to Georgia to record what would become the album, which you can now purchase here http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/johnpaulspencer .
The gig was at the Tonic Tavern, which was a nice space to play.
Opening for J.P. Spencer, was his friend Eric, who goes by the name E is for Epic. He played a great set on both 12 and 6 string guitars.
E is for Epic
After E is for Epic, we went on, and played a set consisting of J.P.'s songs and some covers of Richard Thompson, Camper Van Beethoven, Van Morrison and others. Check out the videos at the link below. (I've been having computer issues, and can't load videos directly , but this sort of works.) The link goes to a Picasaweb page, and has two videos of E is for Epic, a couple of pics and two videos of J.P. Spencer. (the last video is approx. 30 minutes.) Also playing with us were J.P.'s friends Martin and Leigh Ann. If you have any problems seeing the video, send me a comment. I hope you enjoy the videos.
