Saturday night, December 17th. The doors opened up at The Yukon Arts Centre. CBC was there recording for a special they will be airing on the radio in the near future, stay tuned for that. We had the fabulous Jessica Hall and Chris Rogers there with 3 high def cameras documenting the evening. I'll be posting some vid's when I get them edited up. I was back stage in the green room having a festive drinky with my brother Chris and Father Ed waiting to entertain the folks. When 8:00 came up, I got on stage and started into my first set. I did the first set solo and it seemed to run really smooth. It was really nice to play for all the people of Whitehorse in such a world class venue. The crowd was with me all the way. They were singing along and clapping and fun was had by all. After I finished a 1 hour set, I did some CD singing and then got ready for the next half with The Isaak Trio. It was a ball playing with pop's on the bass and Chris-p on the Cajon. It's real cool having my Dad knuckling down and playing the blues. It's harder and harder to get a bass player to play the bass. My brother played solid, and understated on his Cajon. In the middle of our set we had a very special guest join us on stage and she stole the show of course, my daughter Kiko. She informed me the night before that she was going to sing a Christmas song and we were to back her up. So we ran over the song once and that night Kiko was ready to perform. She smiled the whole time and wanted to end the song with a cha cha cha, so we did. After the show I'm sure she was signing more CD's than I was. Over all the show was a great success. It was sold out and it was standing room only. Kiko was a great merch girl along side the ever lovely Tara Graham. Thank you once again for the continued support Whitehorse and all the folks who come out to shows or buy the CD or even pop by the site and read the blogs. Much appreciated friends. Godspeed and all the best in the new year.
