Boys played in a little bar in Athens last night!

Tyler, Alex, and Drew have played both separately and together in local coffee shops and at open mic nights, but this was their first gig in downtown Athens. There's lots of places down town that will book shows for young, budding artists. At this particular place they could choose to charge a cover and get paid, or wave the cover and get more exposure. They opted to wave the cover. I wasn't able to go and see them since it was a Tuesday night at 9:30 (a school night for the girls).  So I met them earlier that day and took them to lunch and just hung out with them. I finally got to see the loft where Drew lives. Very, very cool!!! They have an opening for another room mate and I think Alex is gonna move in there as soon as he gets a little more money saved. Anyway, Keith was able to go see the boys perform. He said he was so proud of them! He said they are really talented and seemed to be having fun just doing what they love! He said there was quite a crowd there and everyone seemed to enjoy their music. Oh, I almost forgot... everything they played had to be original. You couldn't play other artists' songs. That's pretty difficult to come up with a few hours of original music. They opened with Drew and Mikey playing a few of their original songs. Then Tyler did about 6-7 songs that he wrote. Then our Alex and Alex Duckworth jammed on their guitars. After that our Alex did a couple of his original songs. Then they closed with Tyler, Alex, and Alex D. playing together. (Tyler sang and played guitar, Alex played drums, and Alex D. played electric guitar). Wish I could have been there...
