My friend and neighbor, Ben, is in a band. One day (aka last Sunday) he asked my friend and roommate, Jessica, if we would help make up some harmonies to a few of his songs and help sing back up at his show at the Velour the following Thursday. We both never pass up a chance to perform... so we said yes.
I was pretty excited. The first and last time I was at the Velour (aka Hipster Hangout) was when I went to see Joshua James with my good friend Allyson. Now I was going to be singing on that stage. Just to a much smaller crowd. :) Here we are hanging out backstage, waiting to go on.
My ward is great. We put out an email that we would be performing... and we had a big group come to support us and listen. Some even made signs. I love my ward. It was so great. Jessica and I even got this nice note the following Sunday.
It is always a pleasure to perform and be among musically talented people. I only hope I get to do it again. :)
It was so fun to perform at the Velour with this band. Such a fun venue with fun people. I also got introduced to some new music, which is ALWAYS fun.

Yay for performing! It is always fun to be with (or in) the band. I'm so glad you had that experience. This reminds me of a time I performed at a coffee shop with my friend David. He was doing a lot of covers at the time. He wanted me to harmonize and tap dance to a beatles song. Ha. (PS You had way more people at your venue.)
