Firefly Bistro in Sunny South Pasadena, CA 03/14/2012
Every time I come down to Southern California for some shows, I try and line up a performance with my friend Brad Colerick as part of his weekly songwriter series called “Wine & Song”, which he hosts at this really cool venue, Firefly Bistro in South Pasadena, CA. It’s the mellowest, most relaxed, and most unpredictable gig I’ve ever done, mostly because you never really know if there are going to be celebrity musical guests in the audience taking cameo slots on the bill or not. It keeps you on your toes and keeps the night moving really well, which makes it fun for everyone.

Brad Colerick opened up the night with some of his signature, self-penned songs that his home town audience ate up. He is a terrific talent. A really natural, easy going voice, a relaxed style of guitar picking, and thoughtful songs make Brad a triple threat behind the mic and I’m always glad to have an opportunity hear and watch him perform. A few other guest artists joined the bill this past Wednesday, including Severin Browne, Ed Tree, and others. It was a nice mix of music for the evening and so fun to hear all of the various styles, stories and influences.
Big thanks to Brad for hosting the night, huge thanks to all of my friends and fans for making the trek throughout the greater Los Angeles area to join the fun, and thanks to all of the songwriters and musicians that shared their talent and inspiration throughout the evening. I had a blast. Take good care, friends, and see you again in Southern California again soon!
