Facebook reminded me that it was exactly two years ago today that I got to see you play and meet. Despite this off-night Ybor City/Tampa bar crowd, you still played as if 300 people showed up. Seeing your journey is so awesome. I snuck a listen on Spotify to hear the new album before it arrived because I really wanted to know how everything unfolded as the reviews and descriptions were enticing. Not something I would normally do, but nevertheless, the album is beautiful and I hope you're proud of it. I can only imagine what the CD and Vinyl will sound like as these online things don't really emit every sound and detail meant to be experienced. I've found my own connections to the songs and it's so important people are able to do this, we all go through this in some way, harbor similar or exact feelings and as artists it's our job to create the conversation. Creating a relational space is the most important thing we can do, we need to show our humanity, a transparency that helps others either get through the day or have an epiphany about where they are leading their life, a look in the mirror moment. Empathy and compassion often fall apart for some, but art, music, writing, plays, etc. have the ability to help sew it back together. #therelationship #brianbell @trelationship @jon_lr @dreamphases #crowbarybor

Went to a show by myself for the first time over the weekend. It was an hour away from home and I couldn't rustle up anyone to go with me, but I wasn't missing the opportunity to see Crooked Fingers. First time seeing them, too, although I saw AoL...seven times? Eight? I'm an aging indie rocker - Archers shows were a can't-miss prospect. Really enjoyed this one, too, though quiet shows and loud drunks in Ybor City don't mix.
