A Word About The Bluebird--
After a long hiatus--I'm back! My apologies for keeping you waiting so long for the latest Johnny Henry news!
The first Sunday in March found Johnny at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN--a virtual Mecca for singer-songwriters. They gave him the coveted Sunday Spotlight--one solid hour, devoted to just one artist/band--and I'm thrilled to report the place was packed! We waited outside for about 20 minutes--in a LINE to get in--with people from all over the country. The Bluebird is the kind of place that attracts everyone, from tourists to music industry greats. It's an unassuming little place with a great vibe. Just imagining all the talent that has graced that stage is humbling.
From a table right in the center, we watched Johnny make the stage his own. He was an absolute natural (naturally!) and the crowd was with him from the first note. Every seat was filled and everyone was engaged as Johnny, Scotty Huff, Geoff Gracey, Robbie Emerson, Jenee Fleenor, Steve King and Mike Daly lit up the room.
The Bluebird is a "listening room," so nothing interferes with your enjoyment of the music. It was a terrific venue for Johnny and we were so blessed to be a part of it! Thank you, Nashville! :)
The feedback from The Bluebird was super-positive (of course) and they are definitely on board for having Johnny back soon. In the meantime...Johnny and Rob Boyle are planning an East Coast tour in May and an "Old Fashioned Girl" tour is in the works! Stay tuned for more news--coming soon, I promise!
