One of the coolest things about the Pour House is the way we are able to create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're not in Friend, Nebraska... sometimes not Omaha, Nebraska... and even at times like you're not in Nebraska at all. The talented performers that have burst through our PHouse doors has been - simply - mind blowing. I thank my frined Fran for his brainchild effort in starting the Concert In Your Home (CYIH) series, and for introducing me to so many talented people, from all over the country. Fran has been here- he's paused in Florida, but has been on the road in Cali for months now. There was Sarah, Steff, Conner, Beth, Doug E, Mason, and I don't know who I've forgotten. And there was our favorite Englishman, Rupert. If you missed Rupert, you missed another fantastic show. It was actually Rupert that introduced me to Barnaby Bright (AMAZING DUO) and Caleb Hawley. And tonight we welcome Caleb back to Nebraska.
Once one of the American Idol contenders, Caleb visited us about a year ago. He's a hoot. His hair's about as messy as mine- so I gotta love him. He and his wife live in NYC now, and he records original music, plays popular tunes, and jams like a crazy man on that guitar. We get to welcome him and his band, Awkward Silence, to the San Carlo tonight at 7PM. And, that is super cool. He played at the Berioc... he's headed to the Minden Opera House, and YES, tonight he's ours. NYC in downtown Friend. Awesome.
It was another stellar weekend here for us at PHouse. We welcomed about half of the city of Lincoln yesterday, and it's looking to be another Lincoln visit day today. And, it's always fun to hear the "city folk" having a wonderful and surprising good time out here, in our little town. It's a privilege to welcome talent from across the pond and across the country... as it is to welcome happy, wine sipping guests who thoroghly enjoy our little Pour House.
Thanks so much and CHEERS!
