Last night was one of the most fun coffeehouses we’ve done! Thank you, Clearcut, for always hosting us so willingly!
We got there yesterday around 5:45, and already had some people there waiting for us! Hailey and her three kids, plus a couple we don’t know personally who came to a gig a while back and wanted to see us again! Its kind of cool to have people like our music who don’t have a predisposed loyalty to us, haha! We chatted with them and found out they had to leave a little early, and told them we’d squeeze in as much music as we could. We set up our stuff and were ready to go a little early. We doddled and chatted and joked around until 6:00, and our group hadn’t grown at all. Now we knew more people were coming, but we also wanted to respect our people who had come out for 6:00, so we started.
Somewhere around 6:20-6:30, a big group of our friends showed up and settled in. We were about a song or two away from the point where we normally pause for a coffee break. And intermission, if you will. But since people had just arrived, we decided to skip the coffee break and just get some after.
We played, and the kids who had come danced around in front of us like crazy, getting all of their donut and hot chocolate wiggles out. They were amped, and it was super cute.
Because we skipped our usual coffee break, our hour worth of music was over in an hours time, hahaha! Usually its about 1h15 with the break. It seemed short. As a group, Brady, Carrie and I decided to grab a coffee and then play the first half-ish over again. I hung back for a second, and Brady and Carrie headed up to the order counter.
Aaaaand came right back down. Apparently there was a long line, and lots of people had come to listen to us! They were just late! Some who were there earlier had cleared out and a whole group of new people moved in! So, we skipped our coffee break and decided to go again!
We skipped a few songs, but for the most part, we played our entire set again! Like at least ten songs. And once again, it went over great. The kids danced, people clapped, and the music played. The atmosphere was a solid 11/10.
We called it quits at 7:45, fifteen minutes from closing. We ordered quick coffees and they put them in to-go cups. We visited for a few minutes and then packed it up.
It always feels so invigorating when we step out of there, happy with how it went and excited to go again 🙂
Who wishes they could’ve gone but couldn’t make it this time?? 🙋♀️🙋♂️
Definately wish we could have been there, or at least helped out with the kids! That would be a hard decision, which one!!! Hopefully we ll hear you someday soon!!😍
Hopefully one day it times out that you can come to a coffeehouse 🙂 They’re a lot of fun! Super casual but still, really fun!
