Let me start this post by saying that I it's only been recently that I have had a real appreciation of music. I use to find it cheesy when I heard on the radio listeners calling in saying how a particular song got them through a difficult or tragic time in their life. Part of the disconnect I'm sure is that I've never had much of an introduction to music. I don't even remember being in music class as a kid. This lack of knowledge lead to me being unsophistication on the art of it.
This past weekend my girlfriend Iris invited me to a house show for David Ramirez. A musician I had never heard of and being that I'm not a huge fan of live music I wasn't sure I was in (plus it was in Glendale). So before going I decided to check him out online. The only song I heard was, "Fires" and I was all in.
Not only was the music amazing but I have to say the video kicked butt. To me the video work was so good and either he had some money from a label backing his music or talented people around him that wanted to be apart of this, just because he's that good. Either way, this guy is talented and I wanted to be apart of it...
So the show was literally in a house in Glendale. I don't know the people and my friend didn't know them but heard about the show through a Facebook Event. Wow, isn't that crazy?! As a marketing girl, I love that!..
Ok so we get there and the front row are the only seats available. Lucky me, because I sincerely loved all the songs he played. A lot of them are about love and the pain of love. I have to say I'm a sucker for songs like that... I was sitting three feet in front of him while he was singing with this big grin on my face. I just loved the lyrics and was excited to be there... I was actually a bit embarrassed when I realized this- because how awkward...
Anyway, I think he's going to be huge and you should check him out (and buy a CD). You, along with me will be able to say you heard him "before"... The videos posted are a few of the songs that I love. I bought two CD's and I have to say I love every song on them...
If you click on the photo below it will send you to his Facebook page, become a fan and find a show!
