more out of the lyrics, and the smaller atmosphere allows you the ability to be more personal with the audience. The
same can be said for a local bar though sometimes that can get more rowdy and fun than what you'd get at a café.
Now outdoor gigs are great for the FRESH AIR! I also love how, when I've played outdoors during a local art walk or
festival, complete strangers passing by on their way to the next vendor have just stopped in the middle of their
travels, and listened. Or sitting in the restaurant next door, will come out to hear me. The fact that the music I was
playing touched them so much that they had to stop, and that they took time out of their evening to just listen to
me...THAT is a pretty incredible thing that I don't think can be matched at any other venue. However, weather and
bugs…are certainly not my favorite variables.
