I had a busy weekend moonlighting as audio engineer....
hard house night on Saturday,
chilled folk storytellers on Sunday night (same venue) #JohnCraigie & #KassiValazza each played a great set

now back in the day job attempting to wireframe a website update to share with the department for input, and automate admin tasks ....

Tonight: well on his way to getting into the conversation of my favorite young songwriters going these days. John Craigie, equal parts poet and comedian. Makes me laugh, makes me cry. That good. Great Sunday night show at Bowery Ballroom.

and on the sidelines,
I was talkin' with some #Christian about,
who's lives matter and all that fun shit
y'know just casual, talkin' with some Christian,
tell'n em' #Jesus wasn't Caucasian, and watch 'em deal with it

Woops, I forgot to post my #MusicMonday pick! 🙈

So without further ado, here's #JohnCraigie, a great #SingerSongwriter that somewhat reminds me of the early #BobDylan:

I really love the chorus:

"I weep when I'm alone, I smile through the rest
I laugh cause I know the truth: every light is surrounded by darkness"

Especially amazed by the fact that he somehow manages to make that very imperfect rhyme work almost flawlessly in his performance.
