This past weekend I left the comforts of North Carolina for my first ever out-of-town show, in Washington, D.C.  I opened for Amber Dutton, a singer/songwriter in D.C. who’ll be returning the favor and opening for me at The Cave this Thursday.  The venue was really cool – a place called BloomBars, which describes itself as a non-profit arts incubator, performance space, art gallery, theater, and center for civic engagement.  Contrary to what its moniker would have you believe, it is not actually a bar; rather, just a stage with a nice sound system and a space for an audience to gather for an intimate performance.  I had a great time at the show and hanging out in D.C. for the rest of the night afterwards.  A good friend of mine from Duke made the trip with me and we were hosted by some very fun friends of hers in Columbia Heights.  You can watch a video of my performance here.
