Canal Street Tavern – Take Two

June 17, 2009 By davidebowman Leave a Comment

Last night Derek Wade and I took the stage at Canal Street Taven in Dayton, Ohio for the second time in as many months.  We performed a half hour set of original music, that included a few new songs, a few old songs, and even a few songs with Derek playing Banjo.  While were were not flawless in our performance, we enjoyed the heck out of it – which is more important than perfection to me right now.  My favorites from the night were Derek singing the song "Devotion" and a revised version of "The Shape of What Surrounds," a song we wrote and recorded years ago.  

I want to thank family and friends who showed up last night to support us. (Not to mention the DCS adobe user group members who stuck around after their meeting to check us out.)  I hope you had 1/2 as much fun as we did.  I am not sure when the next gig will be, but I will keep you posted. Hopefully it won’t be too long.

In the meantime I plan to continue writing new songs, playing old ones, and enjoying the experience of making music. 

For those who could not make it last night but want to check it out, check out the play list of videos below. They are also on YouTube along with the video from May.  Enjoy!

Dave & Derek Take to the Stage

May 14, 2009 By davidebowman 2 Comments

On May 12th, 2009 longtime friend and musical collaborator Derek Wade and I took the stage for the first time in about 7 years.  We were asked by my friend Tim aka – Windsor Knotts, to play at Canal Street Tavern on the Tuesday night open stage.  Open stage may not sound like the big time, but with small children and a busy life, nothing could work better than playing a 30 minute set that ends by 9:30.  This was so much fun to do.  It had been way too long since the last time.  While I was a little rusty and dusty, I loved every minute of it.  Derek was, of course, amazing on guitar.

I want to thank Windsor for inviting us to play, and thanks everyone who came out to hear us hoot and holler for 30 minutes.  I hope you enjoyed it 1/2 as much as we did.

For those that could not make it, my friend Doug Dockery was kind enough to shoot some video, which I will share.  It is all 6 songs that we performed, including his favorite, which happens to be my father in law’s favorite as well, Ol’ Hamm Crowe.  Enjoy the videos and share them with others if you think they might want to check them out.

We will be back at Canal Street on June 16th at 9:00pm.   If you are free, come and check us out.
