Just happened to look at my google news aleart email for mattea and saw that there was a songwriter series tour hitting New England starting today so I just had to go and it was worth it. Got my ticket online at 2:30 and thought I had the 4th row. I got to the theatre around 6:15 for parking in the small lot near the theatre and went over to get my ticket and asked how sales were and was told not good. Couldn't go in until 7:15 or so as the artists didnt get in until 6:30 and were doing a sound check.

The 15 to 18 of us who brought tickets plus the staff of maybe 15 or so got to enjoy a great show with Ralph Murphy, Tony Arata, Darren Bessette, James Dean Hicks, Pat Alger and Richard Leigh. Each artist did 4 songs each taking turns like a songwriter in the round format.

Got to hear Seeds and after the show the artists shook hands with most of us and thanked us for coming. I wound up buying 3 CD's and a tshirt for this little tour. Thinking of going up to Keene, NH to see them again on Saturday, they are in New London, CT tomorrow but I am going to a SoundTiger game in Providence.. Oh well..
