It was a scramble-to-set-it-up unpaid gig, but my new band, the Jimi Marley Project, had its debut at 11pm at the Night Drop tonight.
The trio, modeled after the Jimi Hendrix Experience, is, like that classic band, a guitarist/vocalist/songwriter backed by a rhythm section. Frank Stepanek, the g/v/s in question, formed the group. The material is drawn from Hendrix, reggae and Frank's own songs. The Hendrix stuff is typically rearranged as reggae - but not always, and there are a few non-Hendrix, non-reggae classics thrown in.

The gig was, theoretically, the Bob Weir (at the Landmark Theater) after-party. But since Matt, the drummer and group's promoter, never managed to get the word to Bob and the band, or anybody at the Landmark, we just figured it would be a good rehearsal, even though in front of a live audience.
As it turns out, we had a pretty good audience and were very well received. I thought I sounded good and played well, although there were a few hiccups in the rhythm section along the way.
I had a good time, played my ass off, and got home around 2:30am.

I'm grateful for every opportunity to make music.
