Jiro, David and I squeezed into a borrowed 2-door Saturn with poor Jiro's head bumping into the roof in the back seat and made our way down to New Haven. We were welcomed to The Space (an art and music collective "space" on the outskirts of the city) by the door guy who was covered in tatoos and told us his name was Funky. A friendly local musician who loved the Avett brothers and was pumped to share a stage with us (since we had shared a stage with his heros, the Avett Brothers) had listened to our MySpace page and bopped along to every song. Our 30-minute set was preceded by a budding songwriter who later told us, after pausing to think about it, was only 15 years old. And we were followed by a lesbian couple who sang lovely harmonies with breathy and powerful voices.
Next stop: Becket, MA to the Dream Away Lodge.
