Yesterday Clinton and Alissa drove/walked around to some Madison venues to distribute press packages/demos in hopes of securing some local gigs, and they were kind enough to let me ride along. It was a pretty productive evening, at least compared to most of my recent evenings. We talked to a lot of nice people, and I bought an effects pedal for the keyboard from this cool guy at the guitar store next to the Harmony. While in the store, he read a little from a nine page letter he received from a crazy old musician...and I got to play a little on a Wurlitzer keyboard right in the front of the store. It was pretty awesome. Given enough time trying to find gigs and I'm sure we could tell a bunch of interesting stories, and maybe that will happen someday...but this post is about something different. We hung out on the pier at Port Sexy while waiting to go to the Pub (yes, the Pub. I know.) and inspiration struck.
I am proud to announce today (in preliminary form, yes...and without authorization of the other members of the band, true...but still.) the Common Swift Lake ____ Music Festival.
What is that, you say?
Well - one day, after we become wildly (moderately) successful, Common Swift will buy (steal) a lake house and christen it Port Sexy II (obviously). Then, at least one weekend/summer we will host 4-6 bands, some of their guests, and our friends for an awesomely awesome conglomeration of swimming, music, dancing and good food. The reason it is the 'Lake ____' festival is that we don't exactly know where it will happen at the moment.
Anyway, heads up - contact your favorite Swift to get your name on the list!
