I had never heard of her and for some reason assumed she was local breaking in. Very impressed with the set I bought her CD and chatted a bit asking where her next gig was. She said "I have one coming up with The Annuals at..." he turns to her band mate, "Where is it again?" and he says, "um..The Cat's something." A little bewildered at how a local band could a) not know The Cat's cradle, and b) get booked at The Cat's Cradle not knowing it,...I offered, "um, the Cat's Cradle?" Yeah that's it, The Cat's Cradle, with Annuals." I said, good for you, the annuals will pull a big crowd, you'll get some exposure." Then I looked at teh back of the CD and saw "produced by Dan Auerbach" and I was like...ok I get it now. "where are you all from?" "...Akron...." I pulled my foot out of my mouth and said, "grats on the awesome CD, see you in January."Jeremy Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530521826265127930noreply@blogger.com
