YAY! I finally got to witness Mesh-29 live.. what an amazing evening it was! What a lovely surprise it was to have Adam greet me at the door and welcome me to the gig. He was so sweet
I wasn't too impressed with the first opener - Sketches but they did have their moments. I think it was moreso the sound more than anything. It just didn't sound as clean as it should. I bought their CD and will give it a listen when I get back to Toronto. I was really impresed with The Brays - they had quite an interesting sound about them. As much as I was interested in them, I was getting quite anxious for Mesh-29 to come on. Finally - around 10:15pm, they finally came on.
Overall, they played a beautiful mixture of old and new songs. Adam's voice was absolutely magical live.. and I was thoroughly intrigued with the passion Anthony put into his piano playing. He was fun to watch. A big shout out to Dave on drums. You did great on your first official hometown gig!!
My favorites were Waiting for the Day, My Brand New Lullaby, Wide Awake and Passsenger Seat (Anthony's solo on the piano). I wasn't really familiar with it but loved it from the first verse onwards.
Thanks to the band for taking time out to talk to me, sign my cd and take a pic with me after the show. I know you were all busy but I really appreciated your kindness. Your show was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to the UK and I'll DEFINITELY be going back to Toronto and telling everyone I know to order your CD!!
