Pat's BBQ is a popular restaurant among the local population, known for their delicious food and live music. I had a Brisket sandwich, and it was divine!
The stage was much bigger than expected, and the sound was really good. An added bonus is that the restaurant hired a sound guy to mix us. There wasn't anywhere to hang a banner, making us grateful that we got the stand-up retractable banners.
We got paid on tips, and people who came and listened to us paid a cover charge. (There's many rooms in Pat's BBQ.)
Since it was a sit-down restaurant, we played some of our slower songs.
The highlight of the night was playing with Addy. Addy is the daughter of one of Mark's co-workers. She likes music, and she plays bass. So filled in for Mark on Carry On My Wayward Son, and Starlight. It was her first time performing, and she nailed those songs. Makes me think that we're so used to performing, we take for granted the awesome feeling it is to perform.
It was a great show, thanks to everyone who came to support us, and we hope that you had as much fun as we had!
