Apollo Run

I saw Apollo Run tonight at Union Hall in BK.

They are an awesome band that Lily O'Brien (PR) works with. 

She invited me out to the show,

though I ended up seeing some friends from work there.

The band is like Queen meets Jeff Buckley.

3 part harmonies, sickly talented musicians.

Lead singer plays keyboard, guitar, and trumpet.

He came out in one song and lay on the floor and had some of the audience do the same,

calling it stargazing. HAHA.

Great show :-)

Union Hall

I had a blast tonight (last night) at Union Hall in Brooklyn.

This show came together last minute, booked by Berklee friend/classmate Andrea Setaro.
I had so much fun playing with Carras Paton, Evgeny Lebedev (who both played at my release party) as well as Adam Root and Nick D'Agostino (who played for me before, but it's been awhile for both of them).

We had a quick rehearsal this afternoon and then headed over to the venue.

Union Hall is so freakin' cool. It's stately, lots of brown and earth-tones, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a bocci ball court (what?), and a music venue in the basement. I was pleased with the turnout, the music sounded great, sold some CD's, met a lot of new people, and then had a really good time afterward hanging out with friends. Was sitting by the window for awhile with Nick, my friend Steve Hannigan (who has now been to three of my shows woop woop), Andrea, and Adam Tressler (an amazing guitarist from Berklee).

So grateful, and glad that I said yes to a last minute show despite my fears. It was totally worth it!
