The Second Show

Hello kind ladies and gentlemen. We had an off day/travel day yesterday, and playin every night since the 8th, I treated it like an off day. We arrived in Annapolis around the same time the sun was setting. The band joked that we were going on a date. "dinner and a movie" We found ourselves at a local favorite spot JALAPENOS, for dinner, we had to get creative for a vegetarian option, but it worked.
After dinner we went to the picture show. It was a fun, relaxin Monday night. Thanks Annapolis!

Kind folks I would however like to backtrack even farther and touch on some of the magic that was our night at the RIVER STREET JAZZ CAFE in Wilkes Barre PA.

Folks if you are ever in the area this awesomely intimate spot is a little piece of musical history. Leon Russell, Garth Hudson, Col. Bruce Hampton,Keller Williams, Jimmy Herring, The Slip, Lotus, are some of the talented beings that have made this spot part of their route when they are taking the music to the people.

The band was kind of tired as we were wrappin up a week of traveling and playin every night. It is a dream come true, but sometimes it get's a little tiring. Blessed but tiring. But when we started playing it was as if with each note we became stronger and gained more energy by the time the show was done our  batteries were charged. Thanks again to the wonderful people of Wilkes Barre for coming out and sharing their time and listening abilities and for sharing and bringing the love.

Local fellas Mike Dougherty on vocals and acoustic guitar and Dylan Skursky on upright/bowed bass started the night off. Those two are incredibly talented at their craft. What an honor and a treat to share the stage.
Thanks dudes. Please folks check both these cats out. Thanks. Then it was our turn to share our gifts and share we did. Thank you for the wonderful exchange of energy within the mystery.

Truly folks from the breath of my heart I thank you, thank you not only for your support in coming out to the shows, thank you not only for your support in spreading the music and message of hope and healing by buying the albums, but thank you for being you. Every night when we are done playing I go  to the merch booth and do the meet and greet. I call it the "second show".  I take a breath and a drink of water after painting my soul on the walls and go back to the table and say hello. I say hello to what you the people have to say. You bring me stories, personal stories, stories of love and loss, of hope and struggle, of joy and pain. You bring me smiles and tears and it is my fuel for this journey. And for that I Am forever grateful.. and while I'm thanking people, I would like to personally thank from the NICK DAVID TRIBE...thank you, thank you, thank you Tom, Alaina, Ben, Sara, Gino, Sam, Abbey, James, D.J. and the rest of the kind hearted folks at the RIVER STREET JAZZ CAFE. Peace and many many thanks.
