When Life Gives You Lemons.....

Last night Dave and I went to our first concert of the year at the Rodeo Club in San Jose, CA to see country artist Austin Webb! We've seen him a couple times before but this was the first time also seeing him do a show by himself. He's an amazing singer/songwriter with such a soulful raspy voice. He also plays the harmonica which I think I don't see very often in country music anymore. He's got a pretty goofy personality that really showed through last night. During one of the songs he hid behind the curtains on the stage, that was pretty funny! This show was also done on the other side of the Rodeo Club. It's smaller and only holds about 450 people. It looked kind of like a banquet hall you could use for a wedding reception! I really liked how small and intimate it was though! Hope they have more acoustic shows over here!

Here is a clip of a song called "Lemonade" that he wrote. That's where I got the blog title ;)

He performed a song that he said he wrote when he was 15 or 16 that he sang on the opry for his debut. It's called "Even Angels Fall".

The last song I got video of is his current single called "Slip On By". He said the local radio station KRTY has spun this song the most since it's release. You could tell by the sold out crowd that people still listen to the radio and know who Austin is. It's always a great feeling when people in this town sing the song back to the artists, even newer ones like Austin! 

At the end of the show, trays of Fireball shots were being passed out from Austin. He came back out to do one more song after that for the encore called "Life Of The Party". What a great way to start off the year of concerts! Can't wait until the next one!
