I’m pretty sure I’ve performed well over 1000 shows, especially considering how many I’ve played over the past five years around the Pacific Northwest, and I decided to try to compile a list of types of venues I’ve had the pleasure (usually) to experience so far:
Coffee shops
Festivals
Chocolate/Candy shops
Cannabis shops & 4/20 Events
Strip Club bar
Churches
Memorials
Birthdays
Super Bowl Parties
Protests
Proposals
Bachelorette Parties
Weddings
Streets in over a dozen countries
Hostels
Radio Shows
Farmers Markets
Nature viewpoints
Rooftops
Dive Bars/Classy Bars/Biker Bars
Breweries
Gondola
Restaurants
Schools
Popup clothing shops
Fairs
Clubs
Theaters
Charity Events
Political Rallies
Trucks beds
Ferries/boats
Speakeasies
…
I’m sure I’ve missed a few, this is just a quick and dirty list, but it feels good knowing I’ve written songs that fit every situation, and it’s been wonderful to meet so many people from a gorgeous broad spectrum of humanity. I hope to see you at a show soon, wherever it might be.
