Videos from my first gig.
Thank you Robyn for shooting video! Crowd noise is about loud but you can make out the music.
I won the open mic at Billy’s Ice House in New Braunfels tonight! Had a great time.
My buddy Aaron told me about an open mic contest in New Braunfels (about 40 minutes away from Austin. If you win you get a free $30 bar tab the following monday and then all four winners (1 per week) compete at the end of the month for the chance to play a paying gig. Had a lot of fun. Played 6 songs. Thanks to Wes Nickson for being a fantastic host. That guy should be FAMOUS!

No Anger – by Tom Meny. REMIXED by ortoPilot!
Thanks to OrtoPilot for producing this track. (listen by clicking the link below) It’s still in the works (he is going to arrange a string melody). This was recorded by Tim “Tank” Casterline at Wonderland Studios in Austin. Jason Seiter played the piano.
Open mic at Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, TX
Kent Finlay’s Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, TX is an historic venue. The relatively small stage has hosted some really big names. Cheatham Street is also credited with being the musical birth place of some of today’s biggest names ( including George Strait ) and nurtured the early careers of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Will and Charlie Sexton and Terri Hendrix.
I had heard of Kent Finlay’s Wednesday night songwriter’s circle but didn’t really look into it until recently. Kent Finlay is very serious about giving each songwriter the respect they deserve. He asks that you do not talk or make a lot of noise when someone is performing.. and also asks that you do not leave right after you play. It’s very different from any other open mic and that makes for a very different experience.
Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. It was an honor.
