album coverJIM SMART: Seven Fathoms

His string tinged rock music lets your brain wander the fine line balance between the pain of old timey musicals and the foolish pleasures of acoustic punk rock, with power pop nods to artists like the Kinks, the Decemberists, Wilco, and Nick Drake.

Guitar and Pen: Solo gigs

Sunday

Solo gigs

Today was a good gig at the Common Groundz coffee shop in Hawaii Kai. Well, good and bad. It was intimate. Folks were listening and tipping and occasionally clapping, but not buying the CD.

I played for two hours, and this is the first time I've gone that long doing only my own songs. People seemed to be fine with that. It felt like a bit of a turning point. It's great to do covers and requests, but this felt more real.

But I think the CD is really good. I wish I knew some way to get folks to give it a chance.
