derek + sandra + taft = sweet show
yep. amanda and i headed out last night to see some good, good music last night. first of all - it was at 2115 Taft which is a sweet, small venue. and it was sold out - but didnt feel like many people were there. so great. first - Sandra McCracken played and derek and a bass player played with her. the bass player was incredible - he played bass and keys at the same time. i am telling you this guys was a freak of nature he was so good...so sandra has a new album (of course we scored it) and she played like 5 tunes from it as an opener. she has a great voice and is a great songwriter.
after sandra finished her set there was a short break - then derek came back up by himself.
he opened with 'i want a broken heart' - which was great because that morning we led that song for the 11o5 crowd. then after that song he said he was going to take a couple of requests from the audience and then he would bring the band back up and play through mockingbird in its entirity - because he said it makes more sense a whole - and not individual songs. sweet!! so i yell out as loud as i can 'SOMEWHERE NORTH'. and saw the head nod...sweet!! the songs he played from the requests were:
i repent
dance
somewhere north
the rich song
wedding dress
oh yeah. what a set. then after that he brought up sandra and the bass player and they played through mockingbird. he is such a gifted songwriter. so great. and if you havent heard, you can download his album for free - just click the mockingbird link above and enjoy the free music.
