It’s not enough to have 1 gig on St.Patricks Day. No, it’s better to have 2 back to back, within the same neighbourhood. That way you can reach more people and breath in the buzz.
With my buzz intact, I performed a stellar set “Irish Standards” at Paupers (a venue that always invites me back for their biggest events – New Years, St.Paddys etc.) 4:30pm – 8:30pm and after headed to my other home – The Madison for a show 10:00pm – 1:30am. Upon arriving at the Madison, I saw a lineup that extended for at least a city block – all to see me perform.
When I approached and bypassed the lineup, people actually started recognizing me, screaming and yelling song requests – how weird is that? When performing, I managed to film a majority of the night, and in so doing, edited a 3.5hr show into 10 minutes. It was like running a 10K. 8hrs straight of singing is possible!
