City Roots

So D and I tried out something new last night. There's this organization called Above Grounds that arranges different venues around our city for local Christian artists to play at one night a month. Last night, it was at a cafe in the same area as our church and we had nothing else to do so we thought we'd try it out. Three bands played (but we got there late so only heard two of them). The first one was Progeny... they were really good. You should check them out. The group is made up of a husband and wife that are around our age and they did a really good job of connecting with the audience. I really enjoyed listening to them. I bought their cd. The last artist was a girl who was probably around our age. She played the guitar and had a huge voice. She was very talented, but just not my style of music. The whole event was really just a neat experience- that Christians who enjoy music get to hang together and listen to great local artists perform without worrying about offensive lyrics. Anyway, City Roots is something we're going to put on our calendar to check out each month. And it's free!
