So my band has sort of carved out a role for ourselves at this local club. We're the standard "alt-country openers" when an appropriate small touring act comes through. It's cool, and I dig it, but the shows are often weeknights and have very small crowds.
Tonight we're opening for a touring bill that is similar to the usual gigs, but the buzz locally about us has built a little. And it's a Friday late show, and LOTS of friends (and friends of friends) have been helping us spread the word. So my hope is that we might have much better attendance than usual tonight. It ain't about the money for us, but we take pride in the fact that most of the crowd is there to see us at these kind of shows anyway.
My prediction, of course, may be way off. We'll see. But I'm ready to rock anyway.
