Musically, I believe everything went very smoothly. We only had 3 acts cancel, but two were within enough time to replace easily.
I started out the show around 12 with the welcome and a raffle (me and my amazing speaker skills... right....) and then Jaime Quiñones and I transitioned into my own set of originals. I'm pretty confidant with the way things sounded. :)
Next, the amazing Taylor Tutt, a last minute replacement for Low June, entertained the crowd with his acoustic guitar slapping.
Mika and Robert jammed out with the keys and guitar doing their famous cover duets and were followed by Arise the Light another acoustic duo comprised of James Fulford and Scott Hall.
Teel Montague Cook filled in for a last minute cancellation due to a stomach virus carrying Hill Roberts (hope you're feeling better!).. so thank you Teel!!
Next we had John Michael Rose who's new CD The Portrait is currently in production. Please check him out at www.JohnMichaelRoseMusic.com; you will be a fan!
Then Rachel Leigh wowed the crowd, like usual, with the keys. She will be in the Eddie's Attic shoot out on November 2nd. (Tickets are available now at www.eddiesattic.com) Good Luck Rachel!
Jeremy Taylor jump-started the full band category for the day with an impressive show and was followed by Teel's encore performance. Teel always amazes me with her love of kids and music. She definitely made two girls’ day by taking time out of her own set to play a song for them to sing together for their grandmother.
Michael C Smith a long time mutual friend of Gary Hamrick and myself who I've been trying to get to Rev for over a year, finally made his first Rev debut!
This was followed by another Rev debut by Julie Gribble.

Both Julie and Michael were definitely worth the wait and I hope will both become regular performers at Rev. :)
A newly formed band under direction of local artist and songwriter Aaron Whitehouse was next. I was super impressed, especially with the cello. I look forward to hearing the three of you out again soon!
I'm Chinese totally rocked out after that to a pretty good sized crowd. I really can't express how great these guys were... Nick showed tribute by setting off fireworks. ;D
The impressive styling of Nancy K rounded out the acoustic sets and then joined The Law as they popped their band cherry in their first public performance!! I was super impressed and am looking forward to their debut album coming out within the next few months. They have definitely gained many fans last night, including me!
I want to thank Rev Coffee for hosting this even and all of the participants for coming out and making RevFest a great success. I'd also like to say a special thanks to Onewithit.com.
Peace, Love and Music,
