Although we already played five shows with the new album, the two shows at Club Passim on Friday, September 18 marked its official release. The display of support from our friends and fans overwhelmed us with a sense of profound gratitude. With all the support we’ve received the Passim community, it was the perfect send-off for the tour.
In order to redeem ourselves for a bad scheduling decision to have the CD Release on Rosh Hashanah, our bass player Mike Roberts picked up a crate of heirloom Vermont apples to pass around with honey for a lovely makeshift New Year's party. We performed an old chestnut “Shabbot Shalom” to help ring in the new year.
We had never before performed two shows back-to-back, and admittedly we didn’t quite know how it would feel to do a second show in terms of energy and stamina. But once Passim started filling up again for the second show we found ourselves completely reenergized and excited. We had decided to perform an almost entirely different set for the second show, which helped it feel fresh.
Thanks to the 200 of you that came out to Passim to support us! We can’t wait to see you all at the Lizard Lounge on October 24.
