Set list at Belvedere open mic

May 19, 2026

There were two moments that made this an awesome evening for me. First, during Attention All Shipping, the bigger-than-usual crowd suddenly stopped talking at once and listened to the song. It caught me off-guard a bit. Second, the trio after me (The Skint Imperials, feat. Paul Sundt) did a terrific stompy version of Copperhead Road, which took me a moment to recognise. There's something about a group of people stomping along to a great song that's really affirming.

Anyway, my set:

I like the balance of two good new songs with two Kensson classics. I felt like I played and sang well, and I got a good response (and some lovely comments afterwards). I'm feeling better and better about what I do.
