Damien Rice Review
Damien Rice
Atlanta Sept 21st 2003
Cotton Club
Back in May of this year I had written up a
review and I had said quote"
"He will be playing quite a few more shows before he returns to Ireland. Then he returns for a full tour with his band in Sept. I have NO doubt in my mind these shows will be very successful. Catch him while the crowds are small because soon everyone will know of Damien." May 17th 2003 Tonight Rob and myself attended the 2nd show of Damien Rice. The Cotton club was the same venue, first time we saw him we sat in the 2nd row, attendance may have been about 30 - 40 people. This time the Cotton Club was full. Standing only to get more people in, the first time Damien had to explain to the audience what the songs were about this time the audience knew all the words and songs, what a difference this was to the first show. This guy is going from strength to strength. And only in 6 months. I managed to talk to Damien before the show started and he remembered how few people were at his first show, so was very pleased to see so many waiting to see him perform, During Damien's show, it was SILENT. dead Silent. But at the end of each song the Cotton Club sounded like a huge arena. Try not to miss him if he's in your town. Till next time Damien soundclip http://www.damienrice.com/website/sounds/Songs/HQ/Volcano.mp3

Andrew Black and Barry Richman LiveTwo amazing guys who performed at my Birthday Bash Andrew on Vocals and guitar and Barry on Lead. Now tell me that aren't awesome !!!! Listen Midsummer Night's DreamBy Marci A Midsummer Night's Dream....July 5th at Lucy's Place There really is no other way to explain or describe how special the entire day was. First, to be amongst wonderful people and celebrate Lucy's 50th birthday. She is such a special lady, and deserved a heartfelt celebration...more than anyone I know! It was truly amazing to spend time with such an eclectic group of people, fans and musicians. Now there is something that can not go with out mentioning. The amount of talented people who performed that day was truly amazing....7 hours of constant jamming and performing by some of the best talent I have ever seen live.....Lucy sure knows how to pick 'em!
And then there was Simon....Simon Kirke got right into the festivities himself....we were graced with old songs and new songs, drums and synthesizers, and some of the best stories I have ever heard. Fans even had the opportunity to perform with him...wow!!!! All of the musicians made the evening so special for all the guests and Lucy too!
This day was so much fun and one I will never forget. It was such a
thrill to share Lucy's birthday with her....she really knows how to throw a
party...I'd like to see her try to top this one! Thank you to all who helped make Lucy's day the magical one that it was....for those who could not attend...I know you were there in spirit and be sure to have a listen to some of the music that we all heard live....check out Lucy's site, it is all there...you shouldn't miss out on this stuff...real music at it's very best! Cheers, Thinking of You, SteveTo a Special fan and friend Steve O'Hehir: Lucy & all the fans |
