Playing Live in Florida
All these years I have been in Florida now. I have played so many venues in a lot of towns. Most of which have been very enjoyable. I have played in bands here since my 1st year of high school. Cupajoe, Another One, Mindlikewater and D_composure. Looking back on some of these bands I remember local shows in the Treasure Coast area that were amazingly huge. I want to say that there were shows that exceeded 6 or 700 people on a regular basis back in the day. For local bands. This is the way it should be. Times are tough. I realize. It seems the more Mindlikewater plays just whatever kind of show...the less people show up. If we hold out and make it an event...then the turnout is pretty good...So we have been working on a new batch of songs...which sound fantastic so far...melodic and a bit brighter in subject matter...very cool...not focused on shows...I really do miss playing every weekend but it just does not make sense. We have no desire to tour and lose money along with our sanity...lol...we do however have the itch to record and make a real record...so maybe a show here and there with Mindlikewater...more when our album comes out...now I have a solo EP about to be done...going to have some physical copies...and of course release it digitally...would love to play a coffee house type scene...open mics...etc...hoping there is some of that around somewhere...maybe I will open up for some friends bands or something but I am really feeling like I will not be playing a whole lot as a solo artist at this point in my life...I am really feeling Mindlikewater as a band...maybe they will play a solo tune of mine and be my backing band while we are playing a MLW gig? never know...stay tuned for recording and release news...and yes...the occasional show...
