So, if you're an artist reading this, you know that it's not often that we feel like we're being set up for a great show. I won't say "more often than not", but pretty often, it's as if we're fighting through a thick cloud of adversity and ignorance just to make it to the stage. For me, fortunately, my love for my artistry and those who support me overrides all of that, and I'm able to have a great show, minus the new twitch I'd have developed in my left eye and the new knot in the right side of my neck.
Last night, none of that existed. Clearly, Wes Felton brings his understanding of the indie artist's plight to the table and knows what it means to make an artist feel at home and among family down to the fine details. There was a tarp up to keep the bar noise to a minimum, great lighting, and the sound was fantastic! Besides all that, he's a ginuinely warm and compassionate host. Oh! AND he took care to be sure my name was spelled correctly, too!!! (You'd be surprised at how many folks don't.)
I mentioned during the performance that Wes (at that time better known as W Ellington Felton) was the first indie artist's name I heard when I moved to DC years ago. So, performing as part of his series brings things full circle for me. Needless to say, I am grateful for and humbled by such a great experience!
