« Schmidt on KFOG | Solo Bass night @ the Freight »

Quicky Solo set

I jumped out on Monday night to go to the legendary Sweetwater Saloon in Mill Valley, CA to play a few solo tunes.

Here's a few picts.

Mostly singer songwriters and some other odd ball type acts - I went on around 11pm and played 3 tunes. It was great to get out in front of a totally indifferent audience (non-bass players) to see how the whole solo bass thing would fly.

Over all - the mellow stuff didn't break the constant stream of chatter that pervaded the entire night.

The stuff with a little more pyrotechnics of course did silence the room and illicit cheers. (predictable)

I try to strike a balance.

I'm glad I did it - but I'll probably try a few different venues to check the vibe. I'll certainly post a note to let ya know!
