A couple of west-coasters were our guests tonight. First up was multi-talented Keaton Simons, who grew up in L.A., has been singing and playing since he was a kid, and decided to make music his career by the time he was 14. Keaton had an album ready to release in 2004. You may remember us playing "Currently" from it on Lightning 100 back then, but the label folded before the retail release, so it never made it into record stores. It wasn't until last year that the way was clear for him to release a new CD. Appropriately, he named it "Can You Hear Me?" Keaton's set:
Misfits
Without Your Skin
Nobody Knows
Currently*
Masterpiece
Unstoppable
Mama Song
Radioactive
Good Things Get Better*
Our headliner, Tyrone Wells, was paying us a return visit, two years after first appearing on NSN as an opener. That was when his first major-label release "Hold On" was out. We played a song called "What Are We Fighting For" from it on Lightning 100. Keaton's new album is called "Remain" and you're hearing the song "More" from it on Lightning 100. Tyrone's set:
Need
Sink or Swim
Falling
Baby Don't (with Keaton Simons on guitar)
Looking At Her Face (solo, and by request)
Ain't No Sunshine (solo)
Hate Song (solo)*
Wondering Where You Are
Remain
Sea Breeze
More / All Is Said & Done*
Spotted in the audience: Local Lightning artists Josh Hoge and Curtis Peoples, who both wound up on stage before the night was over. Josh was just on NSN 3 weeks ago, and he also played "Ain't No Sunshine" that night. When Tyrone launched into it, Josh leaned over to me and joked "What? Is this becoming a Nashville Sunday Night standard now?"
