Nicole, Midori, Yuko, Amy, and I performed two shows at Ole Tapas on Sunday during the Lowell Folk Festival. And even the heavens were applauding by thundering above our heads. We were almost done with the final section of the Alegrias, when the heavens opened and the rain poured down upon us. There's some great video footage of us continuing to dance through the rain, until there's a moment where we all collectively get distracted and forget the next steps. That and the homeless troll guy who wandered by are a few of the video highlights from these performances. Thanks to Derek who performed yeoman's service on the sound.
Applause was raining down on Tuesday night when Midori, Amy, Yuko, and I performed for the annual City Year conference. Hundreds of young adults from all over the US were screaming, cheering, and making noise for almost anything we did on stage. A few times we couldn't even hear the music to pick up the compas. Some standing ovations at the end. I think we were all overwhelmed by the love and enthusiam shown to us. And if City Year ever asks us back, we'll be there with bells on. We don't know if they filmed it, but if they did, I'd love to get the tape and watch it whenever I'm feeling low.
Jamie and Nicole are performing at the Ole Tapas 1 Year Anniversary Celebration on August 14th at 7 and 9. Seiki will be on guitar.
