On Thursday the 26th, we had the final performance of the tour in Cleveland at The Grog Shop.
The promoters were not the usual ones who throw shows at the Grog so it was kind of weird but it was still awesome.
These promoters had the show start an hour earlier than it was supposed to, which led to the crowd being pretty small during the first couple performers. The lineup was a group called Plastic Hearts, then me, then a group called Twenty One Pilots, and then Smoke Screen.
Despite the relatively small crowd, my performance still received a pretty good response.
After the show, the promoters said they would love to put us on more shows in the future. And one of the members of a group called The Manhattan Scene came up to me and asked if I would like to perform at their upcoming album release show.
So looking back at this tour, there were a lot of obstacles, as we predicted, but each obstacle came with a myriad of benefits whether its experience, connections to a new scene, or even just having our names associated with certain venues as a resume builder. I would definitely consider it a success.
Now we're basically spending all of our time compiling and editing footage, along with scoring the documentary with our own original music.
Congratulations, Connor! I didn't actually see the performance but I'm sure it was amazing and that your documentary will be great.
ReplyDeleteMy brother has been doing some freelance DJing in Chicago, not performances, but events and such... from what I've heard it sounds really awesome but he doesn't like the unreliable hours and not having steady income... are you interested in pursuing music as your main career? It sounds like with EPs and all these different gigs you could really make it work.
