What an amazing day at the 10th anniversary Sooke Music Festival last weekend!
Stories and highlights abound…
First off, Alana, Avi and Vinny – my new Vancouver Island band – were so lovely and fun to play music with. We did so well in our first performance together. Great song dynamics and our communication onstage was definitely a highlight for me. I felt like we really started to understand one another’s musical languages at the show. Avi Nussbaum approaches the drums with a real sensitivity and the listening ear of a songwriter (which he is). Alana Ahlstrom is pure instinct and vibes as a bass player and really embraces and feels the songs. And, Vinny Dupuis has melody and musical nuance in his cells and you hear that come through his fingers on the keys. I have so much respect for each of them.
