An Evening Of Blues At The Gourmet Gallery
Posted by Musician | Filed under Performances
Last Friday evening (the 24th), we had a great show at the Gourmet Gallery. The audience was made up of many of the Gourmet Gallery regulars, and also a lot of new people. One thing I really noticed, was how many of the audience members were really listening to the music, and not talking during the performance.
As musicians playing this type of venue, we fully expect that people will carry on conversations during the show. When we look up and see people leaning towards the band, making eye contact with individual band members that they don’t know, singing along with the music, or in some other way expressing their engagement with our performance, that gives us a strong sense that our music is in some way resonating with the audience. There is of course no greater reward for a band than this.
We have one more show at the Gourmet Gallery before the summer break. We play there next on Friday, June 12.
If you like blues, and you haven’t yet seen Deception, come on out and give us a listen. We have a unique sound, that appeals to more than just blues fans.
While we do a number of traditional blues songs, much of our music is far more complex than just simple 12 bar, 3 chord blues progressions. Check us out, and see what you think!
Deception is the Abbotsford-based blues band formed in the mid-90s by guitar player Art Panchishin.
