Dates and The Departed Debut

It was nice seeing my first Departed show with some really fantastic people.  Mike, Lori, Cheryl, Rick, Junior, Eli, Katie, Chris, Grant, Mary's spirit, probably forgetting someone, but I hope not. I was so happy to see all of you there.  It made for a perfect Departed Debut, for little ole me.  Lori caught the essence of the evening with her camera, take a look at Skyline Radio and Any Other Way.

              

                                          

                                                                 
                                            

                                     
                                          Rick was a perfect gentleman and gave me a setlist.

                     Cody brought Cheryl to tears while he sang Lonely Girl for her.

The show was great, the crowd pretty tame and now I need the MUSIC. April Release date with another album to follow soon. From what I heard Monday evening, I definitely liked the beats. The sound was lacking somewhat making it a little difficult to understand the lyrics.  Unfortunately I had to miss the show @joesbar, where I heard the sound was crystal clear. :)  There will be a next time. :)
