Jimor:
A bunch of new clips, some from a show last Friday, and a couple others from June as I get to some of my backlog.

Shannon Curtis again with Book of Fiction and Brightest Light in the Room.

Longtime local artist Gillian Underwood with Couldn't Tell You Why. I have another of hers from this show I'm anxious to post, but I'm waiting for a title from her. I had mic issues with her set, unfortunately, so only 3 songs came out. Loose connection or wire somewhere that causes audio dropouts.

Visiting Oregon artist Annie Bethancourt with See Me and Glory Hallelujah I've Got Nothing.

The backlog was a couple clips from support acts at the James Cavern EP release show.

The Bell Boys with Invisible and Black Shoes and White Cars.

Autumn Sky with August.

Speaking of Autumn, I just came back from a show where she was one of the supporting acts for Tyler Rich in one of the bigger venues in town where a lot of the national touring acts perform (500 or so capacity, though there were more like 250 there tonight). It was her first time with a full band in a place like this, and she blew my socks right off. It's quite a feat for a coffeehouse performer to step up and fill a much larger venue with energy and sound, but she did it. I can't wait to get the footage uploaded to share.

I still need to check it all, but I also think that I personally really nailed it capturing not only her, but the other 4 opening acts. Unfortunately, by the time the headliner hit the stage, my arm was so exhausted from holding the camera that I'm not sure I was able to control the shaking!

But it was a good night, not only am I immensely proud of my friend, but I really took a forward in proving to myself that I can step into any kind of venue and get video that the act would be proud to show fans. Now to see if the actual footage bears that out!

Jimor:
And here it is. Trying something new, since my youtube account no longer has a time limit on videos, I'm posting the whole set as one file. I was able to keep a steady hand between songs and the set moved along nicely to avoid any bad transitions. Unfortunately, there was a minor tape glitch during the 5th song, and I lost about half a second of video, so I "patched" the gap with some freeze frames. No way to do anything but keep the audio silenced, though. Hopefully it's such a minor hiccup in the larger picture it's not so noticeable, and besides, I think most people will just blame Youtube. ;)

Edit: BTW, if you're so inclined, please pass this one along as much as you can. Even if it's not your cuppa, you might know folks who are into this style. It would be really awesome if something of hers were to finally go at least somewhat viral.

Jimor:
Some more good stuff.

Another from Gillian Underwood with Higher.

2 from Jesi Naomi, a girl with one soulful set of pipes! Remedy and In My Veins. Yes, she's playing in a mall, but that's because this mall is cool enough to have a store that's totally devoted to the local music and art scene, and they sponsor weekly gigs there.

A couple from another act on Saturday's bill, Fate Under Fire. The Simple Things, and a cover of Kiss me thru the phone. High energy pop/rock.

It's been interesting as I've contacted the 3 other bands I took video of on Saturday. I tell them about the video I took, and they all dubiously ask to see it for pre-approval to make sure it's up to their standards, and each time I send them the samples, they come back with "Wow! Can you come tape other shows of ours?" There's even talk of money changing hands in one case.  :-D

So expect some more soon from an all-girl power pop group, and a really grooving rock/funk combo.

Jimor:
Here's the girl group, Adhara with Naughty, and a cover of Mickey.

From Thursday's park concert, a couple from Exquisite Corps, with a lush sound augmented by 2 violins and a cello. Light As A Feather and I Want What I Want.

Jimor:
A set of clips from this past Friday's park concert. I continue to get very satisfying responses to the work I do from the bands around town.

First up is Be Brave Bold Robot, one of the more popular acts around town with a floating membership of around 3-8 different musicians depending on venue size and who they can get together on any particular gig. Here's a 7-member version of the lineup with Gridlocked and Keep the Women Happy.

Adrian Bourgeois again, with songs I already have on my page, but this time backed by members of Musical Charis. Parachutes and Jonah.

And here's Musical Charis headlining the show which doubled as their EP release party. Two high-energy songs from the hardest working group in Sacramento (they once played 10 shows in a calendar week) Catwalk and East West.
