The "Open Eyes Cafe"

It was Saturday night. We usually end up just going shopping and stocking up on our necessary items for the week, watching a movie or two, browse through stores for things we plan to buy to organize our apartment a bit better, and go home.

However, tonight, we thought of maybe going to a restaurant with live music. Since most of the performances required ticket purchases, we opted out of that. We looked further and found "Open Eyes Cafe" that had free live music, so we thought we'd check it out. It's a nice home like old building with a very classic look. It's as if you've walked into someone's house to listen to some music in a quiet environment. This is the perfect place to study, listen, relax, and sip coffee. I couldn't have asked for a better night. The performers, Josh and Heidi have a website called: www.heidismusic.com . They are very nice people and came together from two different backgrounds to form a group called, "Autumn in August". They write their own original compositions and have beautiful songs with voices to compliment. We chatted with them afterwards and were invited to jam with them sometime! We just might take them up on their offer in the future! As for now, I am back at work waiting for the next patient to arrive. We are just beginning to experience what this area has to offer.

It was an awesome night! The two harmonized with emblazened passion at times while strumming and plucking their guitars. Josh's five string provided the majority of riffs and instrumental breaks while Heidi's 12-string filled out the music like an acoustic string orchestra without bows.

Heidi crooned with a style not too far from Jewel, the contemporary style of folk pondering various meanings of life and love, while Josh's rhythmically faster and more traditional at the root but more complex harmonically commented on love and politics.

A very awesome night to get to share with you. : )

Glad you two are finding neat little places with neat musicians to talk to for some relax time. And I hope you continue to discover neat places like that.

I hope we find more "neat" places like that too! We're thinking of hitting franklin street this Friday to listen to some live music in the little shops there
:-). I'm looking forward to it!
