On Saturday we began what we hope will be a regular happening on Saturdays – live music. We want to thank Mike Biggar for kicking things off for us as our first performer. Wes Jagoe (nominated for DVD of the year at the East Coast Music awards 2009 and who will be here this upcoming Halloween Saturday) is handling the music for Saturdays (bookings etc.), so we asked him for a few words about how Saturday went. He writes:
Hello everyone:
Mike Biggar played to a receptive and crowded room here last night (Saturday) at the Urban Deli. He was promoting his latest CD debut EP “The Big Breakfast Special,” a five song disc that’s all original music.
It was a two hour show that was well received. His songs were raw emotion, he can be quite dynamic on the turn of a dime and has well thought out arrangements and touching lyrics.
His song “Wonderfully Made,” off the EP, had a lovely intro about his wife. It makes the song that much more intimate when you know the story behind it. I was quite taken by Mike’s banter, quite witty to say the least, always armed with a comeback if the crowd wants to participate. Mike also did a Bob Dylan and Arrowsmith cover with his own stylistic approach that was well received.
Of course what we would really to know is what you thought of it. Were you able to mke to the Urban Deli on Saturday? If so, what did you think of our musical night?
By the way, we’ll be posting later today or tomorrow some more information about this Saturday’s artist, Wes Jagoe, as well as information about contacting Wes for arranging to perform at the Deli (if you’re a musical artist).
