A few weeks ago I noticed a posting on Craigslist: singer-songwriters wanted to open for experienced producer.  Normally, I would ignore such a thing, since it’s probably just some scam, but the gig was taking place at 12th & Porter, one of the prime rock venues here in Nashville.  I called and got put on the list of writers that would get 5 minutes each after the producer’s band played their show.  For some reason, that night I just didn’t feel up to going down there, so I stayed home and played with new iPhone instead.  Turns out, that was a good call.  The writer’s portion of the night got cut off because of a knife fight that took place just outside the club, who promptly shut everything down and sent everyone home.  I got a call a few days later from the show’s producer apologizing and offering me another slot for a writer’s night to be held later.

They called this week and the show will be October 29th, starting at 8 pm, at the Douglas Corner Cafe.  I believe its a 21+ venue and there’s no admission, plus we get to play two songs this time.  I saw Brittini Black play there once and could always see myself playing there, so it’ll be fun to be on that stage and rock the house.  Hopefully, my friends (and wife…) will come with me!
