Acoustic Challenge 2008—We Won!!

Last Wednesday night (11/5/08), Jason and I “competed” in the finals of our 5th Three Rivers Productions “Acoustic Challenge.” This is a deal where there are 5 nights of 5 acts each, doing all-original material, and the winners of each night then compete in the finals for a grand prize of $1000. We had won once before (12/5/2006), so we are now “retired” from any future competitions.
We played the following set: Someone To Be Lonely With,Bitter Kid, Can’t Sleep (Jason on mandolin), Head Together, Hair Loss Blues (the latter two with sax). Other fine performers that night included the fabulous Joy Ike, (2nd place), Second Favorite’s Ben Alper and Eric Granata, Todd Jones, and Todd Edwards. It was great to hear so much excellent local music, and we were honored to play, & “win.” You can see some more pictures here. Big thanks to Nancy Lackner for organizing these fun musical happenings.
