These are some sketches of our last ASG Sunday Matinee before the summer break. You can guess which is which, and win a personal serenade from one of our members! That's easy to guarantee... :)
We'll be back in our theater Karthuizer Hof on September 18, with some fresh sun-tanned singer-songwriters and a load of new songs of course!
Quite some people made it to our Karthuizer Hof theater in the unforgiving heat, we were lucky it was quite cool inside the old former church. Marshmallow Joe and Lucky Fonz III brought the most fans, and their music reflects that. Brilliant songs, sporting witty English pop melodies and an American folk attitude. MJ declared he would only play for the Universal Energy from then on, showing the EU logo with reverse lettering. Good to know that the ASG has a hotline with the UE.
Later that evening we played in our beach club
Skyline for more than three hours. Not all singer-songwriters showed up, but that was because of our friends at the Railroads who messed up again.
OK, it's the summer holiday period. So most people are gone to enjoy the sun. But a few weeks ago we had a streak of crowded evenings at Sappho, during our weekly open mic session for singer-songwriters.
During one of those sessions, we had the luck to be among a couple of professional photographers. Some of them working for papers like the NYT. Here are some pics we got from that special evening.
By the way: did I mention that there will be a digital piano in Sappho from this week on? So if you feel like you can only play your songs on black and white keys, by all means drop by.
