MaryBeth Maes at The Real School of Music

On Friday the 13th, Julie and I saw MaryBeth Maes in concert at The Real School of Music. MaryBeth has a great voice and we have an autographed CD of her original songs.

Interesting tidbits:

• MaryBeth got some airtime on The River 92.5. Must be cool to hear your song on the radio.
  
• She is playing at Cheers on St Patrick's Day. Appropriate for an Irish girl whose songs often feature brews, whiskey, or wine.
  
• Her husband plays with Ernie Boch Jr in Ernie and the Automatics. The drummer and guitarist were in the band Boston.
  

The audience last night was not the typical Real School audience. It was mostly her family; the adults talked throughout the concerts and kids did a non-stop congo line. A rowdy audience focused on music can make a concert more energetic, but these people didn't even seem to be paying attention to the music.
