 First Concert

About 8 months ago, I formed an acoustic ensemble at my church. Wanted a place to play, and the thing just kinda grew. Last night we performed our first (albeit small) concert for about 75 people. The Joyful Noise Acoustic Ensemble plays old timey music, and every now and then I get to slide a little blues in there. I sang People Get Ready last night, and it went really well. Boy, that was fun.
By the way, The Noise has 6 guitars, a banjo/mandolin player, a uke/dulcimer player, a bass, a djembe player (who also plays his grandmother's washboard), and 4 singers who harmonize beautifully.
Not only is there safety in numbers, but there's something fun about that much sheer sound!

very nice, sounds like a hoot. Joyful Noise Acoustic Ensemble= J'NAE that's a neat acronym.

maybe next time I'm cruising through wherever it is you are I can listen (or sit in?)I used to know where you are but can't recollect. Chlt?

All tweediots are welcome. I'm in Fort Mill, SC, just south of Charlotte. If you're up this way, let me know, and you can meet up on Sunday morning.

We actually practice in a fairly small room, which makes for a lot of sound in such tight quarters. Hence the name... we are surrounded by classrooms, all of whose teachers asked the same question the first few weeks... Do you have to make so much noise?
LOL

Am alway open to suggestions for Sacred Blues type music. If you know any good songs, please feel free to suggest.

"Let's Have Church" was the last Stamps Quartet album before JD Sumner died. There were several good ones on that one. They did a nice shuffle version version of "Steal Away and Pray" that might work out for you.

Had a new guitarist at practice today. One of our members invited a friend of his to bring his daughter to our group. The dad doesn't play, but he hung out and sang, and I handed him a shaker, and he kept a little percussion thing happening. But that doesn't matter. His daughter was playing a small Takamine, has been playing for the last two years, and although never before having played with a group, she hung in there and played beautifully.
It was a little humbling. She's 8 years old.
Since my uke/dulcimer player is around 80, I think we may have to lay claim to the "8 to 80" age range. What are we, Monopoly? :-)

Fun? Fun? Why would cramming a bunch of crazy musicians and singers into a small room filled with old timey music and laughter be considered... fun?

Come on down, ya old hippy. You'll have a blast. Stop in next time you're in Charlotte.

Well, the bad news is that the JNAE doesn't meet in that small room any more. The good news is the reason why. We moved into a larger room, and I'm having trouble making it fit again. Try 16 instruments, 8 singers, and over 90 songs. I'm in the process of setting up mics with a PA just so the singers can be heard over the noise! I'm even having to build a few risers so we can stack one end of the room. And amazingly I seem to continue to be the Conductor on this train wreck, despite the fact that most of the guitarists are much more skilled than I am.
Anybody coming through Charlotte, stop in and jam. We'll make room.
:)

It keeps growing, and it's fairly eclectic in genres. This is from a spreadsheet I did 6 months ago. We've added maybe 20 songs since. Anyone is free to bring in something they like, and if you bring it, you can sing it. A good bunch of folks.

Still looking for more Sanctified Blues type songs, though
