happy hour with the GetUp Johns

well, thank goodness the music room at the hideout was virtually smoke-free when we got there to see the GetUp Johns...i didn't have to make teddy wait outside with cadence! they got to see the whole show too! and what a lovely show it was...

we got to the show soon after jake and josh started playing...there was already a nice little crowd gathered...uncle dave was already there...people kept coming in throughout the performance, and you could tell they were really enjoying the music...jake and josh do this lovely close harmony hillbilly music, which i absolutlely love...those of you who've heard the lullaby i wrote for cadence while she was in the womb, this is the style of music i was aspiring to...i'm gonna raise cadence on this type of music and hope she develops an ear for improvising harmony...

i've already requested a set list via my friend (and the GetUp Johns' friend) caleb...these guys are coming out with an album this fall, and i can't wait! hopefully they'll be back in chicago soon!

i only took a few photos, but you can see the set on my flickr site right over here...

they also had this beautiful, awesome microphone...it looks so professional, doesn't it? the sound it produced was just lovely...i guess when you've got two guys singing that close to one mic, you want it to be good so you don't have to get TOO close...
