Closing out 2019, I welcomed a new opportunity and journey into the the studio: hosting a gallery concert. Working with Sofar Sounds, I am excited to leap into 2020 with the determination and excitement to host a series of concerts with talented musicians.
With local Austin music lovers RSVPing for secret performances, Sofar books touring acts, local musicians, and international talent while working with imaginative hosts like myself. I couldn't have been more delighted with the turn out on Friday, Dec. 27. With attendees arriving to my space at Thornton Roads Studios after receiving the full surprise details (location and performers), I was starting to see that spark in their eyes. Finding their seats, laying down blankets, getting cozying with friends and family, and popping open their refreshments, the music lovers all settled into the intimate setting I created for them.
If having eyes on my original work wasn't enough, I was delighted when JAM Now, Micah Marcos, and Lauren Lakis walked into the studio as the evenings musical artists. Each radiating excitement and nervousness for the Sofar spotlight, they sat with me and shared a little about themselves as attendees patiently waited for the show to begin.
An added plus to the night was when I raffled off a $100 gift card towards my original work to give away to one of the lucky attendees who signed up for my mailing list during the event.
Want to know when the next gallery concert is?
