Last night’s show was greatness! It’s been a while since I shared the stage with a full band, so that was a real treat for me. It was also an amazing treat to get to share the stage with the likes of Jose Aponte on drums; Wayne Schmidt on bass; Ronny Redd on keys; and Gary Brown on lead guitar. These guys were off the charts good!!! Thanks fellas, for your time and efforts!
The setlist, while short, was packed full of tasty melodies. We started with All This Time. This song is just fun, and Ronny brought an element to it that I’d never heard before. Second we did Superhero. This one seemed to get the most crowd response and really got everyone keyed up! Next I played High. I love the tenderness this song has. It’s so sweet and passionate, and I just love sharing it. I thought, since I had such an amazing recruitment of musicians, that Feel should be on the setlist too, so we played it next. The crowd seemed to enjoy listening to everyone jam, and I just loved letting everyone cut loose on it. We played Take it All after Feel. I just love sharing this song. It’s gone in such a different direction from my initial writing and to present this song to God is pure worship for me. Finally, I played All These Things (Roscoe’s Song). Ronny opened it up with keys and it was just beautiful. The song just builds and builds and is so sincere and intense. Roscoe, I hope that it made you proud, my friend! We certainly miss you!
All in all, it was a great show. Drue from PowerFM seemed to like it and invited me up to the station to do an interview, so I should be doing that in the next week or so. I should find out then whether or not you, the people, will be able to call in and request Superhero or Take It All to be played on Sunday nights during the Spin 180 airing.
Thanks to everyone who made it out; I truly appreciate your support. I’ll try to get some pictures posted up here and on Facebook and around the Interweb as soon as I can.
Love to you all,
Chadwick
