Last week I traveled to Cincinnati to see my friends from college who are now in a band called US Royalty play a show. They were the opener for a Third Eye Blind theatre tour. Here were my thoughts before, during, and after the show.
- I promised myself I wouldn’t act like a proud mom and I did a good job hiding it but in my mind I was proud.
- I didn’t actually teach them anything or contribute to where they are, but give me this moment.
- It was weird because no one there had ever heard of them before so I got to sit back and watch them try to win the crowd over…..they did it.
- I look for two things in bands to distinguish them-an entertaining front man and songs that are catchy enough to play on radio and they have them both.
- John is an entertaining front man won them over in a Mick Jagger sort of way.
- Paul was always a great guitar player but he was what set them apart, I heard multiple people in the crowd comment on him and cheer as he soloed.
- They just made a list of the 50 best dressed male musicians and they do make me want to shop at high end vintage boutiques.
- Hoping to see them again soon and maybe get to take some friends if they make it to Columbus.
- Not sure how to sound like the gushing friend who says his friends are good, but I was thoroughly impressed and expect big things…
