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!

The Critics and Cynics
True fears are completely unfounded
to anyone looking in
clicking their tongues and shaking their heads
deep down they understand
blame is no where but in the actions
that is masked by saying
"it's what's best"
truly it's just,
now in the shade of the day,
wishes for the courage
to have done it a different way
There comes a moment where
empathy is no longer an option
sympathy is the only thing to give

Looking Forward
I feel more like myself today than I have in a while
The burdens of the near past are shedding
the coils of of the dead and dry flaking away
What kept me from sleeping just a few days back
Now barely passes in my head
melting shame
The heart of my inner self is waking now
After being near death for so long
Comatose filtering in animation once again
The leisure of looking around me once more
instead of only down so not to miss
The quiet beat
Opportunity with neon sign saying here! here!
lighting up in green, reds, and blues
The electricity is catching in my bones
The time of today, the lessons of past
melding into something more like
the me

Kind words will unlock an iron door - Turkish Proverb
This past weekend was very busy musically speaking. Friday night, Mike and I opened for one my friend’s bands at Rev. It was a very big crowd and the feedback was great! It was our first time playing out together as a duo and hopefully this will be a continuing trend. Saturday was amazing. The speakers at Not in Our Name were very moving and the food was phenomenal.... like usual. Anyway, this weekend turned out a new song as well, one that I think is playing out worthy. I think I'll try to get it down and play it next week at Rev. Russ and I have been talking about putting something together sometime soon for a show at Rev in the near future, and Jon and I have been brainstorming an Alison Krauss/Nickel Creek cover type band with Barefoot. Lots of irons in the pot; so keep visiting and I'll keep updating! Much music and love!

"...just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist."
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
The shadow from my dreams
fades into my own reality
meanings and signs
soft moments of déjà vu
trickle down my spine
If I'm not seeing things
Then why do I see you
ushering in and out of time
a whisper of what was
a flash of what will be
seeping into my being
This moment in the 4th dimension
Where time does not occur
feeling I've been here before
because I have
because I already am
one enormous figure eight

Life gives us brief moments with another...
An old caller knocked on memory's door
tried hard to turn away
but I let the door open
and allowed my mind to wander
through the old stomping grounds
of that time that marched on
I could hear the old footsteps
and I turned around
saw the ghost of what was once
my life, your life, our life
the floor boards moaned
from the lack of use
after being worn down to almost nothing
so long ago
the dust settled was disturbed once again
my fingerprints still visable from my last trip
through this house of unlocked doors
no stone, no trinket left unturned
when meaning was trying to be found
on why this place stood empty
and yet never hollow
yes, there is something lingering there
is it anything but me
is it anyone but a fading memory
