We were at the Better in Mentor festival last night and had a GREAT time. Mainly thanks to two fans that made it all worth while for us. We have played to huge crowds in the past. Last year we played to 40,000 at Jacob's Field. But for me, the show last night was far more rewarding in a lot of ways. But mainly because of this young couple that stayed and watched every single note we played. They sang along with every song, yelled and clapped and returned our love, and thanked us over and over again for being there. They were incredible.
If there is any reason to play music besides that, I am having a hard time thinking of it today. Some people play for that allusive moment of fame. Some people play to get chicks (yeah i know), some people play for money. But you know what? It is true. Money can't buy me love.
Last night, we were treated to a lot of love by a small audience that really appreciated what we were trying to do. It doesn't get better than that.

You guys played an AMAZING show last night, even better than last year. The new songs you added over the winter were incredible picks.
We can't wait for next time! We're looking forward to rocking out with you guys again.
