music, friends, and mint chip frappaccinos

So after we played at the Barnstable County Fair back towards the end of July, we got invited to play at the Mashpee Commons Starbucks.  They had started doing a Thursday night music kind of thing there, and one of the girls that worked there saw us playing at the fair and liked what she heard….

So after a couple of phone calls and stopping by to check out what we’d have for space, we trimmed down the group and the setlist and went over on Thursday, August 28th, to play an hour and a half set (7-8:30).

We had a blast!  It was Chris (percussion – djembe and high hat), Adam (bass), Kaleigh (vocals), and myself (acoustic guitar and vocals), and we had a great time singing some tunes and promoting starbucks water as the best water you’ve ever (or never) had in your LIFE!!

This is what our setlist looked like:

Awakening (Switchfoot)

Stolen (Dashboard Confessional)

New Soul (Yael Naaim)

Stuck In A Moment (U2)

Someday We’ll Know (New Radicals)

Love Isn’t Made (Jon Foreman)

Sparks (Coldplay)

C’mon C’mon (Switchfoot)

Rebellion (Lies)  – (The Arcade Fire)

Falling Slowly  (From the “Once” soundtrack)

High and Dry (Radiohead)

1234 (Feist)

Good Man (3eb)

Colorful

Happy Is A Yuppie Word (Switchfoot)

Free Fallin’ (John Mayer cover of Tom Petty)

We Are One Tonight (Switchfoot)

We had close to 20 people who were there for pretty much the whole time, and almost everyone who came in stayed for a couple of songs, which made it a lot of fun…and as soon as we wrapped up, all the starbucks employees who were working that night came over and were excited to get us back there again to play!!

So I’ll probably try to get in touch with Starbucks this week to see when we could get in again, and I’ve already started working on a bunch of new tunes to play there.

It’s fun to be able to play a totally different set of songs in a totally different environment once in a while.  Don’t get me wrong – nothing takes the place of leading worship through music at church – but it’s fun to have that outlet once in a while as well
