Rev Coffee Represented at Eddie's Attic!

Hello All!

So this has turned out to be a pretty interesting week. First I'll rewind back a few weeks and let you guys know how well the festival went. It was super hot, but we had some great performers and a really good turn out. I defiantly met some really cool people that I hope to stay in touch with in the future! Tomorrow, of course, I'll be at Rev. We have had some great new talent come in lately and I'm excited to see some of the bands coming up there. On the 19th, Cavan Cross will be performing and on the 26th, Rachel Leigh will be gracing us with her musical abilities! Talking about Rachel Leigh, both of us will be at Eddie’s Attic Open Mic on Thursday. I'll be there around 7:30, so come on out and support Rev's locals at Eddies!

Some updates on Minutes to Live... we have about 3 hours or more worth of material. It's everything from the 60's and up. If you have a party or event you'd like to have live music for, please keep us in mind! We have a drummer for larger performances and I'm currently playing bass on quite a few of the songs. It's actually pretty fun and I have definitely gained a lot of respect for bass players in general!

Otherwise, still working on the new album and trying to finalize the songs that will be on it. I do have 2 more songs I recently wrote. I've played one of them out and it went over pretty well with the crowd. :) I'm still trying to iron out the 2nd one, but I should be playing that one out pretty soon. Again, thanks for the support and I look forward to see everyone out soon!!

Love, peace and music...

Rockin' in the Real World

Wow! What a great night last night at Eddie's Attic! I sang back up for Nimara on her song Funny Face and we got lots of amazing feedback. :) While Nimara didn't make it to the final round (this time), she was still a shinning star among some fantastic artist! The professionalism displayed by the artists was notable... I definitely took a lot away from the experience... including my own date to play. So make your calendars for August 31st at 7:30.

Talking about marking dates, the 2nd annual AIF music festival is quickly coming. It will be at Coan Park (1530 Woodbine Ave SE, Atlanta, 30317) again this year on May 30th, starting at 4pm. We have some great groups coming to play including Takiya Lovechild, The Divide, WAR, The Dawah Ensemble, and our ever favorite The Wayne Fishell Experiment. You can buy tickets and find out more on the festival website http://events.signup4.com/aifmusicfestival.

Also, I've finally gotten onto the twitter bandwagon... I really blame the ungodly amount of time that I spend listening to NPR. I figure if Jim Lehrer twitters... haha. To follow my musical adventures in real time, go to http://www.twitter.com/kerrywentworth.

Love and music!

Open mic at Rev has become a beacon of amazing talent in the North Atlanta area. It's a unique mixture of originals and covers, however the performers are great at making the covers their own.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the amount of female performers who have started to call Rev their own. A younger ensemble called Bella's Wings (I think) has graced Rev twice now with their exceptional sound. They will be performing a solo show at Rev on Saturday, January 17th.

I urge everyone to go out and support them. I should be out at Rev next Wednesday, if anyone would like to join me!

Open Mic is Back!

So, open mic has officially resumed at Rev Coffee under the new ownership of Nick. I'm no longer officially running open mic. I do help out as needed and love being there when I can, but due to other commitments, I do best as an assistant.

This past week was fantastic fun. We had around 7 different players/groups, all of which played a variety of music in the acoustic rock and country genres. We had mostly originals with just a splash of covers, mainly non-mainstream covers. If some of the performers had not said "so this is a cover...” no one would have realized the performer hadn't written the song themselves.

The next Rev Coffee open mic is Wednesday, January 7th. If you find yourself needing some good music to listen to or want to get some jam time in with the regulars, come on out to Rev that night and I'm sure you'll find exactly what you’ve been looking for... :)
