I wanted to come out to America and see a small part of what there is on offer visually, aurally.. hey all the senses engaged yo! My love of playing live, singing my songs I can do whilst bussing it through California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Texas. No plans, nothing booked in. Free.
A wandering minstrel I.
There are an untold amount of open mic nights in Los Angeles. The positivity at these places is overwhelming. My deeply routed cynicism yearns to curl my lip and roll my eyes but its fucking sweet. The people just want to create to emote through different mediums whether it be the worst thing they are not just sitting there growing mould. COMMUNITY. Its becoming such an important word for me. And that is to be applauded. And boy am I doing lot of applauding. Clap clap clap. Funny Americans.
The open mics are a mix of comedy, spoken word and music. A couple of songs delivering it there and then. Conviction. I film my audiences, which will be going into a little film im piecing together of my trip. And boy so far what a trip.
