Last night was the big Ben Lovett show at Smith's Olde Bar. Ben is known in the music industry for his young and hip movie scores. This show was a live production of his solo project, which is of course young and hip.
The show went pretty well, especially considering all of the technical difficulties involved in getting the thing together. Say what you want about the lack of leadership at the rehearsals or the theatrics over the music, but the guy had a big vision and he went for it, and by and large I think he pulled it off. In the end, he got a band of fantastic musicians to get on stage with him and play his music (without really knowing if it would work or how they would be compensated). There's something to be said for that.
