Thursday Night LIVE

This week I went to Thursday Night Live at Art Street. I thought I should go support my fellow LLC-ers while they go up there to show what talent they may have.
It started out with a guy named Fresh playing guitar and singing three covers and one original song. He sang I’ll Follow You by Death Cab for Cutie, some John Mayer song, Cats in the Cradle, and his original called “One Year”. He is a great guitar player and has apparently been playing for around five years. As a singer he was sub-par. I would have much rather listened to him play his songs without singing them due to the fact he was always sharp. He probably had the longest performance out of anyone only because he chose to do standup comedy at the same time, which was also hard to bear.
Next up was a girl named Rachel. I’ve seen Rachel many times before but don’t really know who she is. Paris and Liz talked for five minutes about how she looks like a girl on the Suite Life of Zach and Cody. I told them I outgrew Disney channel TV shows while they both had seemed to hold on a little too long. We all laughed about it briefly as I tried to convince Paris to ask her if she was from Suite Life. We later decided it was a bad idea. Rachel sang Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright while her friend played and sang the piano. They both talked briefly about being music therapy majors and how rad it was. It does seem like quite a fun major. If VCD doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll head that way… As for her performance, she has a nice tone to her voice but she was flat. Why is it that the one time I decided to go to Thursday night LIVE everyone is sub par. Rachel only sang one song (minus the duet she sang with Fresh previously).
Then there was Dave Zup from Cleveland. Dave and his friend mix beats and rap. His band is called Isomatic. Kind of reminds me of that Nas album Illmatic. Isomatic starts out with a Kid Cudi cover due to the fact he is from Cleveland. He was all right but personally, if I had to cover Kid Cudi, I’d do Pursuit of Happiness. His next song few songs were better because he actually sounded like a rapper.
I don’t mean to sound pretentious but I was fairly disappointed for Thursday Night LIVE. I love listening to live music and I love being outside so this was supposed to be a win-win. Instead I spent most of my time playing with grass unenthused.
