♪ Rockin' The Boat Basin. ♪
Wednesday May 21, 2008
Hello everyone!
I haven't blogged about music in a week or so, but I couldn't let this week pass by without talking about it. So, I am here to tell you all about a special performance that Pete Yorn did last week in New York City.
I was invited by Spin magazine to attend this special performance, but sadly, I could not get a flight out to New York that would get me in on time...but that does not stop me from taking you through the evening as detailed as I can from what I have been told.
Here is a quick excerpt from a Spin.COM araticle that pretty much summarizes Pete's set:
Pete strolled into Manhattan's 79th Street Boat Basin on May 15th and strummed out an intimate acoustic set at the Amsterdam-themed Amstel Light Lounge 1870 gala, sponsored by Spin.
Pete's short, but sweet set list had pumped up the crowd and had them singing along to songs such as "Life On A Chain", "For Nancy", "Strange Condition", "For Us", "Model American" and a new song called, "Somebody". Armed only with an acoustic guitar, Pete mostly sang with closed eyes, morning melodically over chord strums between lyrical rambles. With the audience encouraging with their singing, Yorn fully engaged, smiling at the sight of upturned faces firing his lyrics right back at him. After an eleven-song set, fans toasted one last time as laughs reverberated off the enclosure's historic, towering brick walls back across the Hudson to Yorn's hometown.
I was super bummed I missed this special show last week, but I was very fortunate to see that someone captured some of his set on video and posted it to YouTube. Pete revealed that he will have a new album coming out later this year (SWEET!) and I am super stoked for that. Before I leave you, here for your listening (and viewing) pleasure, is Pete singing "Somebody" last week...enjoy the music, enjoy Pete, but most of all, enjoy the day!
