Firth of Lorn

So, I haven't posted in a really long time.  My apologies to anyone who cares.  Last Wednesday was the first time I had performed in front of a public audience in at least three years.  The show went great, and I have to say I was extremely impressed by the other acts who performed as well.  Live music really is completely and utterly different than listening to a recording.

Matt Smith and I were the band lineup.  He did an amazing job on such short notice, especially we a few songs we really hadn't gotten to practice together at all!  The main thing I felt about that night though, was an overwhelming urge to do it again and make it a part of my life.  The feeling you get when playing a song you have written in front of a group of strangers, and they get it, is unbelievable.

Thanks for everyone who could make it.  I hope the rest of you can make it next time.

Check out our music.

Live Performance

I'm excited to announce that Firth of Lorn will be playing live for the first time in a long time on May 16th.  Matt Smith and Ryan Reader have been working hard to learn some of my original stuff as well as a few covers.  Playing in front of an audience really is the only way to see if you are getting somewhere.  Thankfully, I'm feeling really positive and ready to take this step.  I hope we get a decent turnout.  More importantly, I hope we sound good.  I think we will.
If you can make it, we'd be thrilled to have you at the show.  If not, no problem.  We plan on making a habit out of this.  In fact, I've been speaking with Larry Luther at Mr. Smalls to see if we can't set up a live show/recording session sometime in the not too distant future.  More details to follow on that.

Thanks to everyone for reading!
