I went to a house show last night, the first for me. I'll admit I was a little hesitant to go because it didn't really seem like my scene. Boy was I wrong. Some great artists played. I was blown away by two of them, Elliot Harvey (aka Natalie Joy) and Chelsea from the Dirty Fists. They were both fantastic. Elliot played guitar and had the most amazing voice. Chelsea rocked it out on accordion.
It just makes me wonder what else I miss out on because I hesitate to join in. I'm not the shyest person, but I guess I'm not very outgoing.
I've thought a lot about my own musical endeavors this week. I left my banjo at home figuring I wouldn't have enough time to play it. I've never missed it more. I know I'm not really a musician like those I heard play last night. I'm not going to drop my life here and pack up for a coastal tour. But it is nice to create music. It's one of those feelings that's incomparable to others. I can't wait to feel my banjo in my hands once more.
Here's the sites for Elliot and Chelsea. Check them out!
