Not to play my event up or anything, but I had A BLAST. It was by far the most fun I’ve had playing out yet. I’ve been playing a Friday night at a decent sized night club and while I enjoy it and get to play a lot of what I like to play, I do have to take requests occasionally to please the owners and patrons. I don’t mind it really, as it broadens my music collection and forces me to step out of my comfort zone honestly.
But NYE was awesome. I started at about 930pm and just started playing my 3-4 star songs (yes I categorize them this way) and worked my way up to the 5 star bangers that I was able to start playing at about 11pm. By 11:15 I started doing updates on the time every 15 mins or so over the mic which REALLY got the crowd going crazy. I had a good friend that does producing put together an awesome count down with a song tied in at the end so after the countdown started I didn’t have to worry about the mixing and I could focus on kissing the wife 😉 I scratched in the “Ten” into the previous song and when the countdown started the place went CRAZY. I was able to play all the great songs I love to play and read the crowd the best I have. Playing out no matter where it is, DEFINITELY is the way to learn. Every time I do, I definitely feel like I’m getting better and better. There are some pics and a couple short videos on my facebook page if you’d like to take a gander 🙂 Be sure to give me a like while there! (yes, sneaky plug for my facebook page right there)
