CAP Theater

I played at CAP Theater last night and had a wonderful time. There were a number of rap artists on the bill as well as Doc Jones. He’s a comedian who also performs around town. He’s got a song he wrote called “The Monkey Song” which is kind of a comedy sex thing. People like the song so much he performed it twice.

One of the things I like about performing at CAP is that in a lot of the shows I get to play in the hip hop/rap/ R&B scene in LA. It’s also fun to share the stage with poets of rhyme and see the response my music gets to different types of audiences. I’ve also shared the bill with singer/songwriters, but the rap nights are the most intriguing to me.

I’m usually the only artist who plays an instrument on stage during a rap night. Last night I did have backing tracks for “Wakantanka” and sang the song to those for the first time. When I hit the stage with a hip hop/rap audience in the house it gives me a chance to crossover into new territory and relate to new people from the heart. I like that a lot.

Blessings!Laura
