We played a passionate acoustic duo set at the Flat Iron Arts building in Chicago last night. We were in a really cool artist's studio, great acoustics, very comfortable, and a small but friendly and enthusiastic audience.
It's great when people actually sit and listen. And it's great when you bring it. We brought it last night. Yes, of course you need songs, and you need to be tight, and you need to sound good.
But what you really need is the invisible, intangible things: passion and energy. And those things can't be bottled or manufactured. Or faked. Not really. I mean, I guess you can try to fake it. But I think it shows.
So yes, we brought the passion and energy. We committed ourselves to the moment. And that's the world baby!
