Every performance is filled with covers you know, covers you'd never expect, and originals you'll quickly come to love.

**************************
Tapers notes: How I found out about Gigi is one of those dumb luck stories. I was at a concert in the park this night, and the show wasn't going well. It was very windy, people around me were very talkative, and the sound system wasn't working quite right. So, I gave up about 45 minutes in to the show and started walking back to my car. On the way, I heard someone singing on the patio of a local restaurant and was intrigued. She was playing the ukelele, which definitely caught my attention, as most solo musicians tend to play the guitar. I stopped to listen for a a few minutes, and while there looked up who it was on the venue's website. Turns out she plays a lot around my area, and I made plans to see her the next chance I got. That was this show, and I'm so glad I discovered Gigi, she's a great talent, and an even better person. I've seen her a few times since this, and would encourage anyone in the Twin Cities area to check her out if you get a chance, she's well worth your time.

Tapers notes: It's always great seeing Julia, she and her band seem to get better every time I see them. Sound on this one is great, thank you to Matt for getting me the SBD recording put on a flash drive. The SBD recording starts late in the show, so up until about 3:15 on track 2, it's AUD only, but still sounds pretty good to my ears.

**************************
Tapers notes: A couple months before this show, I had seen Heavy for the Hawk at the same venue. During that show, Rachel (lead singer) mentioned she was part of another band called Hazel Mood and they did more r&b/soul type covers, so I figured why not come to that show as well? The band was a 9 piece this night, including multiple horn instruments, which ended up saving part of the night. There was trouble right from the start with the vocals cutting out due to a power issue, but the horns were loud enough on their own that they could still be heard, so while they figured power issues out a few times, we were treated to some impromptu jams. About halfway through the set the power issues were figured out and it was smooth sailing from there.

Jason "Sundance" Head is an American country-soul singer and songwriter. He is the son of American singer Roy Head. In 2007, he was a semi-finalist on the sixth season of the Fox television series American Idol, but was eliminated one week before the finals. In 2016, he became the winner of season 11 of the US The Voice. He was part of Team Blake Shelton. His winning song is "Darlin' Don't Go". In 2018, he signed onto Dean Dillon's Wildcatter Records and released the single Leave Her Wild.

**************************

Tapers notes: Opening for Austin Allsup. I got permission to record this show from Austin's management, but they asked that I not share his set because they were recording it for official release down the road. I will honor that of course, so only Sundance Head's set will be shared. The last 2 tracks have some weird edits I had to make, the set was over and they started music from the PA, and then Austin came out and asked Sundance to sing one of his dads song. I had already stopped the recorder and quickly hit record again, so there are some jumps in between those two songs, no music is missing though.
