Thursday, December 08, 2005 Music in Chicago I had such a fantastic week in Chicago. The update on the Over the Rhine story is that we didn't do the interview in person in the end--things were a little crazy for them with two shows in one day--but we should get the interview over the phone on Monday. And their concert on Saturday night was absolutely wonderful. Kim Taylor opened, and her voice was surprisingly similar to Karin's (the singer for OtR); this was clear even when she sang a couple of songs with the band. Mmmm. One of the best things about an OtR concert is feeling like you've just been wrapped in a warm blanket and hugged. Sunday night I shared my show at Cafe Mud with Dan Vaillancourt, a fantastic guitarist I met over a year ago at one of his shows--apparently I laughed at all the musician jokes, which got us talking after the concert, and as they say, the rest is history. (We couldn't stop talking on Sunday either--he had a six-hour drive back to Michigan after the performance, so he tried to leave on multiple occasions but it took probably an hour for that to happen.) He was on the tail end of a tour playing something like 15 shows, and we had a ton of fun playing on a couple of each others' songs. You can read his take on Sunday here (under December 4th). ^ Top | 2:26 PM | | |
