Pluck Luck on Palm Street

Last night Cory and I hosted a Pluck Luck at my place. The lighting was low, the space small and barely able to fit the twenty of us.
Cedar Boy Bailey kicked off the night. This is Sergio's solo project done on ukulele. The set was very intimate. The uke strings quietly plucked out the soul and sincerity behind each song.
Phillip Foshee went up second and began with a cover song. He claimed he was not up to caliber as a musician and thus should not be playing covers. The audience disagreed as he rock eleanor rigby and some sweet song from Toy Story. he also played originals he claims to be sick of. Once again the audience disagreed as they sat captivated by his clear-as-a-bell vocals filled the room. Both boys will be appearing March 28th at the Westheimer Block Party at the Austin Layne Hotel. Phillip as himself and Sergio playing with his band Buxton.
Teresa of Gerogia's horse played next. Her vocals are soulful and sweet. Melancholic and moving. Her vocals range begins from way down low southern rock woman to angelic delta-gothic folkster. She will be going to Europe in April to once again spread her sweet sounds across the Atlantic.

All in all the night was well received. Everyone went home full of food and local music. Perhaps Cory will post some songs from the night on his blog Stitched Tire.
Our set (sew what) went over well. We played two new songs and had a little audience participation as well.

Tonight we will be attending a show in the woods with Houston's Robert Ellis, Geoffrey Muller, Listen Listen and out of towners DarkDarkDark. Should be fun!

Until next time!
