It all began in a local coffee shop with our friends Jeff & Dana. They invited us to the open mic night to meet and hear some fine local musicians. Jeff asked if I would sing and I couldn’t say no after all he and Dana had done for us! They fixed our leaky roof in trade for Persuasions cds! Pretty cool. Well I just had a ball because it was so laid back. No pressure. And so personal, like hangin’ out with friends. A real living room kind of vibe. So I’m posting here to let you know that I’m now booking living room shows. Yes, I come to your home, school, church or wherever you have space. Please write to Julie at mail@jerrylawson.biz for details and I hope to meet you and your friends real soon!
WOW guys we had no idea that you liked open mic so much that night, how awesome. I know everyone at the Coffee Bean enjoyed seeing and hearing you perform that night, I know that we did. It was a wonderful experience for us as well.
Hey Dana, I just loved it. Just did a Home show in Phoenix last week. It was fun for me but more importantly the guests really enjoyed the evening and some of them are planning to book a home show for their own circle of friends!
Jerry, I was first introduced to you on the Sing Off. You and everyone else were outstanding. I really miss that show.
Speaking of Open Mic… if you’re traveling to Las Vegas be sure you check out Bootleggers. http://www.bootleggerlasvegas.com
It has been around for ever and they have an open mic every Monday night. Many of the entertainers go there because it has such a long history. I know you’d love it and they would love you. They have a house band which can play almost anything.
I sang as a kid and then after 30 years starting to sing again. It has ‘restored my soul.’
I sing in a Motown gospel choir here in Vancouver. The VOC Sweet Soul Gospel Choir http://www.vocsoulgospelchoir.com/under the direction of
Checo Tohomaso (who used to tour with Marvin Gaye.
Thank you for off that you have given to music and to the world.
All the very best to you Jerry.
