The Arts: Sarah Mac Attack

Saturday evening, I received a phone call from my friend Jay Woodham inviting me to join him over at the American Legion Post 13 hall in Tallahassee to listen to The Sarah Mac Band. The band is a local group featuring two guitarists (one on bass) and the lead singer who also plays the keyboard on some songs. I'm pleased to say that they were quite good, singing their own songs for the most part with a few covers sprinkled through the show. Sarah Mac definitely has a powerful voice, and both guitarists did a nice job too. I was struck by the fun the band was having on stage--they weren't full of themselves and interacted with members of the audience that they knew like they were old friends. It is nice to see folks who are serious about their craft, and yet also having fun and being joyful, and encouraging the crowd to join in their joy with them. If you get a chance to catch The Sarah Mac Band, you should do it.

PS: Check out their website if you want to know more about the band and where they will be performing.
