Interesting gig

A cute bear I visited before getting on the stage
Hi everyone,

I had a pretty interesting gig yesterday at the Zoo. The songs went well but it felt a bit akward.
So far the audeince has been youg people or adults. This time it happened to be 1-4 year old kids with their moms. The guy before me sang childrens songs about porridge and toys. They loved it.
When I started to sing I think they covered their ears. I guess they werent prepared for loud Rock/Pop. All I could do was smile, wave and avoid some swear words I have in the songs.
I still had a good time though. Even if there would be only one person in the audience, it doesn't matter. Any gig is a good practice.
After the gig I had been invited to go to Lohja for a "Rock me I'm famous" gig (Jyrki 69, Esko Eerikäinen & Amara Diamond). After being home with a flu for a week it sounded like a good plan.
Amara was already in Lohja so I picked up Jyrki and Esko on the way. Except for almost hitting a moose at 120km/h, the little road trip went well.
I think I've never seen so much Jägermeister in my whole life. That's one cool sponsor they've got there! However, after not drinking alocohol for quite a while I thought it was better to stick to white wine and avoid a hangover.
Amara and Jyrki were great as DJs and the audience was all over the dance floor.
They also played my new single "Want You Out Of My Head". It was the first time I heard it through proper speakers and it was interesting to see how the audience reacted. After singing it so many times I can't hear what it sounds like anymore. I'm not sure how big impact the alcohol had, but they seemed to like it and kept on dancing. After a long and good day I got home around 5am and slept like a baby.
Singing karaoke before the gig started in Lohja.


Cheers,

Jessica
