Sunday night marked the 3rd 'annual' or rather installment of the Matinee series and included guest Shawn Clarke. Not only does Shawn have a great blog, but he's a great artist and fit really well with the mood of Polyester Heart.He played some well selected covers and gave them his own twist as well as played many originals that had a flare all their own. I look forward to seeing him out again. Check out his myspace page for more details on this fab musician.
Tuesday night was the weekly jam night - this one hosted by Mike Hopkins and Marshall Bureau. This one was special because I got to see alot of different types of acts.
From funk, to old school blues, indie rock AND a quick electronic set by Marshall and Dave Marcotte (yes, I know Polyester Heart). Andrew Hickey played a sweet set, his vocals standing out - a polished raspy edge to it. The Blues set featured the 'house band', the resident James on keyboards, and 2 newcomers (for me) on guitar and vocals - great stuff...and I am not the biggest Blues fan.
I am sad to say I was not able to play my glock - though I was ready for action (tucked away beside me at all times). There was a mandolin player, which was pretty cool.
Dates to look out for:
Next Tuesday Jam with Mike and Marshall - Dec 23rd or Jan 6th
Next Sunday Polyester Heart Matinee - Jan 4th (guests TBD)
