During my first Fringe Circuit appearance at a festival in Adelaide Australia, I did not have too many folks showing up to see me. An unknown performer from the States is not exactly a draw down there, even though they find my accent sexy and exotic. I kept at it and word eventually got around, though I did have a show where only two people showed up. I still did the whole thing, including the crowd surfing at the end, getting them to hold me up and rock me like a baby. The next day I'd won a Best Cabaret Award from the festival, the two audience members had both been judges. Never give up, you don't know who might be watching, or what it might do for them.
lyrics
Sometimes, you don’t wanna be funny,
and you don’t wanna play.
No one wants to hear this,
who care what you’ve got to say?
They’ve heard it all before,
you’re already a tired cliche
For a moment, the world was at your door,
but only two people showed up today.
So fake it ’til you make it, at least that’s what they say.
Don’t listen to your demons, they’re liars anyway
They tell you that they love yah,
but they don’t think you’ll make it.
What they don’t see is that you’ve gone all in,
and you’re never gonna quit.

Compelling stories that are well written, not to mention beautifully sung, accompanied by beautiful instrumentation. I found Aaron J. Shay's music under a strange set of circumstances and was instantly fascinated by it, this album contains some of my favorite songs by him. Hyphonetics
