I have been following Mindy Gledhill & her music for years and she is seriously a hero of mine. Basically I want to do what she is doing! It was so fun to go to her concert. I made sure to be very early so I could get a good seat. We were front row 'til there was no more room in back and people started filling up in front of us. I got there early enough to see her rehearsing and I went and introduced myself. When the concert started the announcer said; " Who's the biggest Mindy Gledhill fan?" I stood up jumping up and down yelling & pointing to myself. There was a guy right infront of us that was doing the same thing, but I had power in numbers, I think because Deb's stood up with me I got the CD- woo hoo! I love the anchor album. If you don't recognize her name you'd probably recognize some of her music. She is on Sounds of the Sabbath.
Me enjoying Mindy's dreamy voice.
Me dreaming of being on stage.Which I found out how this might be a possibility. There's this program called the sound-check series. They have Industry Pros come in and give you advice on your songs. They also hold auditions for opening the show at concerts such as this. Sign me up!
I got to meet Ryan Innes who has an AWESOME voice. He opened the show. I think he may have invented falsetto. I was also feeling rather short all night.
The crowd grew to be almost 3,000 people. All on a cozy little rooftop under the stars.
Now for Meagan Smith. She has a beautiful voice and such a grace on stage. She was so cute and funny. Her album was picked up by Warner Brothers and is featured on the movie 500 Days of Summer. When I asked her for advice when I met her I was surprised at her response. She said; "Oh your a songwriter; we need to talk" Asked for my email address and to send her some examples of my work! How thoughtful of her. I was excited that I actually have examples now for situations like this. Not just a very strong desire in me that is struggling to get out. When she responded back she had nothing but good things to say about my music. Woo hoooo!!!So there is my fun filled night full of wonder and music!
Talk to you soon. . . .
