Hi everyone! The Taste show was a freakin' blast!! I had such a great band and the sound was amazing. The weather was unbelievably beautiful and the crowd was enthusiastic and totally present......I couldn't have asked for a more memorable show!!
Afterwards, I heard a few comments from people that I reminded them of Bonnie Raitt which is a huge compliment. I have adored her ever since I was in high school. I would always listen to her and sing her tunes. Now I guess you could say that my sound is a bit of mix between Bonnie Raitt and Jack Johnson.
My family and friends all mentioned that they could hear passers by and their great comments upon hearing my music. I intentionally didn't play any covers at my show at The Taste. I have so many songs that I have written that I coudln't wait to expose in this awesome setting with my awesome band that I just wanted to keep it focused on originals. I am happy that I did!! Even though people may not have known all of my tunes, they were still getting into it and enjoying it which tells me a great deal about the fact that my music actually touches people. It was really cool for me to experience this.
Afterwards, I found out that Bonnie Raitt was playing the main stage at The Taste that night!! I was sooooo excited! I had to pinch myself!! We were able to get into the seating area in the 7th row! Can you believe it????! It was such an awesome night, other than my birthday present this year which was fifth row center at Alpine Valley to see Jack Johnson. That show was just unreal, the amount of people that were there. It is such a great arena to play I bet. Anyway, Bonnie kicked some serious butt. The amount of soul in that woman is so palpable and what a guitar player! She is such a major inspiration. I am very happy that I was able to hear her and see her play live!!!
That is about all for now. I am looking forward to writing some new material and getting some video of the show at The Taste up on the site as well. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!! ~Diana
