The doors opened at 8:00, I luckily got there early so I could snag a nice view. All I knew at the time was that I was going to see Rogue Wave-I was totally naïve as to who the opening acts were. Suddenly at 8:45, the curtains are opened and I am instantly in a state of awe. A man with his acoustic guitar effortlessly scilencing the audience with his pure sound. I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like it, he went from just playing his acoustic guitar to doing 5 things at once! Honestly, he kinda blew my mind. He introduced himself as JBM. He has released his first album "not even in July" and I suggest that you buy it. Perfect for rainy days, I can feel it! (:
Next was Mirical/Man. They were mediocre. If I had to rate them 1-10, they would be about a 6.8. The best part of the band was the guitar player. Not only was he quite skilled when it comes to playing his guitar, he also had a gnarly beard. They were upbeat, and exciting but there was something off about their sound. Maybe they're recorded music is better, but live, they were just okay. (except for the guitar player).
Rogue Wave came on at around 10:30. They played a bit of their newer music with a nice mix of their older stuff too. I've seen them twice before, but this time was by far the best. They had a lot of energy. In the middle of the show, everybody from
the other bands got on stage with each person playing some sort of percussion instrument. The audience was clapping to the same beat-everybody filling the theatre up with their own sound. It was fantastic. Later, for their last song they got people from the audience up to dance with them on stage. I was tempted to go up there, but I was too timid. ):
it was a lot of fun.
After the show I purchased the JBM album (which I'm currently listening to), and took a picture with mister bearded man.
that's all for now! It's starting to get late for a Sunday.
