Practice makes perfect. You all have heard this since you were born. Hey, it's true. The hard work that we (Magpies) did over past couple of weeks to prepare for the audition for the Heart of the City Festival paid off. We did our 3 songs and the panelist said play some more until the other musicians show up. Guess getting there early helped too.
This is what we heard today. "Wow! you guys are playing a different kind of music this year". "You are playing with a lot more passion." "I liked you music, I could listen to you guys all day" We asked them what genre they think we fit into. Answer: "clever".
Our music has grown over the past year. Part of that is that we, well more so Don and Brian, are experimenting with more and different instruments. Songs that we would have played in a more 'roots' style in the past are now taking on a new and even unique sound. It is truly becoming 'our' sound.
After our audition we were interviewed by CJSR about our music and the Heart of the City Festival. That was pretty cool. Our first media interview.
