NQC - Day Two
Wow. I am so exhausted, and it is only day two. My legs are unusually sore already. I hate to feel what they will be like come Friday or Saturday.
The day started off with the Artist Spotlight Showcase starting at 12:30. I specifically wanted to catch Everyday Driven - and they knocked it out of the park. Also - Crabb Revival and Aaron & Amanda Crabb did a great job, and I can't wait to hear them as they develop their individual sounds a bit more. I also got to catch fantastic performances from The Imperials, The Glovers, Young Harmony, Spoken 4 Quartet, The Pathfinders, Driven, and more. Two highlights came in the form of The Shaffers (who had fantastic blend) and David Patillo's daughter (her name escapes me at the moment.)
I got to speak with Donna Beauvais (Hope's Call) about her new business. I'm sure more news will be announced at a later date, but it will be fun to see how her new venture develops!
I headed out to the exhibition hall where I met the always wonderful Melissa Brady (wife of Jim Brady) chatting the ear off of Kerri Mullins (of Everyday Driven). We had a great conversation before heading back to the hall. I walked around a while before realizing that I had to catch two of my clients in the Regional Artist Showcase. I caught Wendy Word + forgiven (who did fantastic!) and Amazed was rescheduled to Thursday, so I didn't miss them. Also caught StateLine Quartet - and they are a great new quartet in SG.
I didn't get to catch many performances, and again nothing actually in Freedom Hall. I did see Mercy's Mark (who's new lead singer is a phenomenal singer), Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Triumphant Quartet, The Greenes (Brad Hudson is an unreal vocalist) and more. Gold City was amazing (like always), and The Webbs (formerly the Rick Webb Trio) had a great set as well. I got to have some good conversations with the folks of New Day, Chuck Peters, Steve Allen, Kimberly Allen (the Allens), and more!
We had a late night, and an even earlier morning tomorrow. We're running sound for the HeavenSound.com Showcases and Southern Spin Entertainment Showcases (tomorrow and Thursday). Be sure and come to the Canterbury Room (Executive Inn) from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and catch performances from The Imperials, HisSong, Sunday Edition, New Day, Tara Jackson, Eighth Day, Evident Call, Sharron Kay King, Gardners, Next Chapter Quartet, Heartland Harmony, Wendy Word + forgiven, and Amazed.
Thanks for reading - and I'll see you this week!
My first product pitch of the week is The Dills' new release Uncommon. This is the best I've ever heard the group. Way to go guys!
