We were second-to-last to play tonight, so we got to hear all the other bands, except one, before we played. There was a tremendous amount of talent in BB King's bar tonight. We did not advance to the semi-finals, but I am REALLY proud of our performance. We did 5 original tunes, and we had a really good audience response... but the judges had their biases in another direction...
In my view, we have already won... we got some great exposure, and we played in a really good club -- BB King's on Beale Street!! I was asked to do an interview tomorrow, and it will be distributed through an e-zine (an online magazine) -- based in Chicago. Lots of people were impressed by what we did... so hopefully we'll hear more from them, and it will turn into gig opportunities down the line.
We'll make the best of the rest of the week, hoping for more exposure and to make some connections along the way. It's disappointing that we didn't advance, because we deserved to go ahead... many people told us they thought we were the best... I know -- my band is the BEST. Just because the judges didn't think so doesn't change a thing. My band ROCKS. And I'm blessed to have them backing me.
Keep checking the website for upcoming dates... I'll continue to blog the rest of this week... THANK YOU for reading ... for following us, and for supporting us.
Peace, Love, Happiness, and Music
