Good vs. Evil...I think not

I thought it'd be a fun idea for me and Adam Hammer from the St. Cloud area to do a monthly double bill at the Local Blend in St. Joseph.  He thought it was a good idea too.

Adam and I had never met, truth be told I had only heard 1 of his songs when I asked him to do the shows.  He has graciously written reviews of my releases for the St. Cloud Times over the past 5ys., so we've talked often. 

It was agreed that rather than split the bill, we'd do an "in the round" setting, a song swap.  We liked the idea of trading off songs to keep the night fresh for the listeners and also for us. We could feed off each other, or completely ignore each other, either way it'd be interesting to see what happens.  Adam calls it a musical conversation.

We've done 2 shows so far and it's been great! 

The only negative thing I can speak of, and I will, is that the venue has come up with some clever descriptions to promote the show..."Heaven vs. Hell", "Satan vs. Gabriel".  This is false advertising.

There are many reasons why I dislike the description, mostly because it sounds like we don't like each other. If we are "vs." that means we are fighting agains each other and that is completley outrageous. It was not our intention for the shows to be a spiritual, ideological battle nor will it become our aim. 

So for those of you who might have shyed away due to the description of the show, don't.  Come out, have a good time, laugh with us as we all enjoy some songs about life.

We hope to see you at the Local Blend.
