Rehearsals and such...

Hi everybody! Corey here, just thrilled to be blogging and prepping for a show...yep, a show. You may or may not know it yet, but there are upcoming 7k shows, the first of which is June 20th. As details trickle in and you mark smiley faces on your calendars I just wanted to give you a peek into rehearsals. Sound like fun? Good.

Last week, like a bear coming out of hibernation, 7k yawned and shuffled into our first rehearsal in....well....a long, long time. We smiled at one another as we peered with wonderment at our equipment. As we looked over the 15 song playlist with that 'how does that song go again' look the cobwebs started to clear. We blasted through all 15 much to our surprise and delight. Some were rougher than we figured, while others were magical. Whatever YOUR favorite 7k song may be....yep, we played it. We felt like a 7k cover band as we zig-zagged through both new and old stuff. It was exhausting and nearly-satisfying. Thankfully, we rehearsed the next night too.

As we slipped into our second rehearsal, it felt good. Technical troubles and sound system mumbo jumbo aside, we had a tiny helping of that 7k swagger coupled with some sweaty smiles and elated eye contact. We cranked through the playlist remembering many of the twists and turns we used to really love on the 7k roller coaster. In short, we had a blast and started to resemble kids on Christmas morning.

Last night we were ready like race horses in the starting gate. Rehearsal #3 began and we hit the ground running. We started to poke around with set list suggestions and show ideas. There's a show right around the corner, and we can taste it.

Tonight we'll kick off rehearsal #4. David is dealing with a tricky amp dilemma, Jeff is frustrated with a faulty vocal monitor, I'm experiencing a great deal of physical pain in my right ankle and yet the three of us simply CANNOT WAIT to play music together.

All is well good friends....all is truly well. See you all at the show.

Rock it,
Corey
