Hotel Utah

From the outside, you'd think this place is just another bar in the corner.
But every Monday, it's a different story.  
They have an open-mic and a mini concert.
I've been wanting to go and that was finally fulfilled last Monday.
Most people who performed were pretty good, worth listening to.
And I liked the crowd, very nice (except for the obnoxious guy we shared the table with).

The guy with a tiny piano.

This guy was pretty amazing.  Nice vocals.

The ShovelMan.  Wicked performance!


The Headliners - StitchCraft.  

Pretty cool band.

"With its sunny guitar, sweeping violin, African-inspired beats, and tight female vocal harmonies, StitchCraft boldly defies genre-labeling and produces a brand new sound. Combining a unique mix of guitar, fiddle, drums, mandolin, percussion, and weaving vocals, this trio out of San Francisco, California plays a dynamic and versatile array of music from lyrical ballads to driving and powerful anthems, from pop-driven, loop-based electric pandemonium, to genre-bending, world-music-inspired folk fusion. Their music mixes rich harmonic arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, and undercurrents intricately woven rhythms to produce delicate yet vivid melodic textures." - theUtah.org

Awwwww!
This is something I really really love you know.
Thank you so much.
And I think it is a bit funny as
there is this little thing called the jazz club happening here in Perth on Friday nights where just ol' jazz geeks go to listen to some sweet tunes.
It's strictly BYO food and wine and sooo good I hear.
I think I might just have to go tomorrow hey?

Love ya,
