Universal Bar & Grill

I played a gig at Universal Bar & Grill last night and it was fun to play. It’s a great room for me. I’ve been playing shows there for over a year now. Sheena Metal books me for shows there. She used to book some nights over at Moonshadows over in North Hollywood and I played there for her as well.

It’s very cool to play the same room on a regular basis. It makes performing very comfortable. It’s important to be comfortable on stage. The audience is comfortable when the performer is comfortable and has fun when the performer they’re watching is having fun. It takes practice to get comfortable as a performer, or at least it has for me.

I’m a pretty shy person and performing in front of people has been something I had to get used to. I remember when I was little, my aunt Gerry used to tell me to sing for people because I could carry a tune. It made me cringe and I hated it. It’s funny that now I’m driven to sing for people quite a bit and I’m recording an album.

Blessings!
