Well, last night's gig included me as an audience member. I got to see the debut performance of a new local band called "The Question". It's a four-piece that features two of my nephews. One is highly skilled on the piano and writes the bulk of their songs and does lead vocal. The other (son of my brother who is also my band-mate) plays guitar.
Their set was excellent for the most part, especially for it being their first show playing a bunch of original material (I think there was only one cover). The audiece LOVED it! It really was a great set. The audience stood up at the end and demanded an encore! How often does that happen with some unknown local act?
I shot some crummy videos from the audience. I'll try to get one or two posted in the next few days.
For now, here are a couple of photos:
Sound check:

This picture makes the room look a lot bigger than it is, and the audience look smaller than it was. It's a pretty small venue and, despite appearances, they had a great turnout. The place was full.
