In For A Surprise

Specialise. That’s the word on the street.

When it comes to music it’s very good and helpful to be known for a particular style. It really helps people latch on to your songs if they know what to expect.

I believe this is true, but it is very frustrating for anyone of a creative nature who doesn’t like to get tied down in that way. Or in anyway come to that.

One thing I like about the Homesongs that we’ve held is that mostly people come along NOT knowing what to expect. Unlike most gigs, they don’t attend because they are fans of the artist. They come because it’s a Homesong.

This is quite liberating when you think about it. Every performer gets the chance to creatively win over the audience. They’ve got that opportunity.

And the audience is almost always in for a surprise.
