The Age of Livestream Gigs

It’s officially a year into COVID-19, and live music is beginning to tentatively reappear.

Performing on Zoom concerts and Facebook Live gigs has been interesting to say the least, but I’ve actually found it to be a fabulous way to lean into practicing. Like my dad always says, “These online gigs are your 10,000 hours, your Beatles-play-a-million-gigs-in-Hamburg”. Here are a few of my favorites.

First off, I bring you my set on Monday Night Muses, from my good friend Rorie Kelly. This one’s chock full of Irish songs, since it happened the week of St. Paddy’s Day 2021.

A little holiday fun with the Stream Team!

Formed by a longtime NAMM show media friend-turned-my-producer, Diggy Kat, the Stream Team came together in the beginning of the pandemic to play music as part of a longer festival style lineup, often on LuckyStar Radio’s Facebook Page, and at times in partnership with other stations to broadcast as well. For our Holiday edition, I played this set; I always love a reason to break out my Pizza Port Holiday Sweater. Another notable Holiday set was with as part of the fantastic Lo Brooke & Friends Christmas Show, non-embeddable but viewable here.

Down Memory Lane… a Year of Stream Team!

Oh man, what a trip… my first set ever for Lucky Star Radio’s Stream Team fest. A year later, and we just celebrated our anniversary with this set. Then and now! Some piano in this one, as well as my pop-punk anthem I’ve been terribly neglecting, “Record Store Love” (watch at 19:38).

Thanks for playing!

Cheers to a freakin’ year. I can’t wait to see you all back out there soon, but ‘til then, I’ll happily keep rocking out online.
