Silver in Charlotte

This past Saturday Silver played at The Evening Muse.

We had played there before and really enjoyed the small venue feel. So, when we started communication lines with them and they asked us if we wanted to have our CD Release Show on a Saturday night. We jumped at the opportunity.

So, this past Saturday Brent and Jessie left for Charlotte. Then Dana and I left for Charlotte. Patrick was already in Charlotte having played with a friend of ours on Friday. We all got there about mid afternoon. After some hanging and driving around, Dana and I decided to stop for some dinner close to the venue and happened to run into Brent, Jessie and his parents. We at a place called "Revolution." It is a pizza joint on the corner of Davidson and 36th. It was a really good pizza.

After dinner we hang out for a while, as people started to show up that knew Brent and Patrick.

Once we got into The Evening Muse to set up and play, it was packed. We had "The Starboarders" out of Knoxville open up for us. They did a great job. They finished up and we got loaded on stage and ran through a sound check. There were a lot of old friends of Patrick's and Brent's, since they both grew up in Charlotte. At about 11:30, the sound guy introduced us and we started playing. I will have to say right before we started I was getting a little nervous. As soon as the first note was hit, the nervousness went away.

We proceeded to play our set and had a great response from the people who were there. We really enjoyed ourselves and Dana and I really enjoyed meeting a lot of Patrick's and Brent's old friends and family.

So, overall the trip to Charlotte was a great trip, and I realized several things. I really enjoy traveling with my wife, wish we could travel more. I really enjoy playing music with Patrick and Brent and hope that there are many more shows that we are able to play together. Patrick and Brent have great families and they have taken Dana and I in like they have known us for years. Finally, it is good to have good friends and great families that support us in our desires in music.
