I am way past the point of sleep. The birds are chirping, the sun is out, I'm WIDE awake now, so what better time to talk about quite possibly the most epic Stewart show ever?
We got there just in time to meet Chris Neal outside for some San Loco- can you believe it's been what feels like YEARS since I've had San Loco? That's just wrong. On every level. 3 veggie burritos and a peanut rice krispy square for John and I to split (which gave me a wicked sore throat when I got home, but it was worth it!) and a Taco for Chris Neal. The evening was off to a beautiful start!
Now, just to give some background, I had been thinking about this show for about 6 months before it happened. Do you know how much time that is to think about something? It's enough time to get really silly ideas in your head, like, "how cool would it be to have a keyboard player? Even just for one night?" And, "Sure John, we can play Aerosmith and I can learn how to play all those guitar parts that I never play, it'll be fun!"
Our set was an hour. We started out with 20 songs, but bumped it down to 16- still, a healthy hour. We played our entire new album, KICKS, (on sale now on our website!) some old favorites, Adaptation for Andy who requested it, and some pretty awesome covers dare I say it. I'm pretty sure I get chills every single time I sing My Name is Jonas now. Chills. All over. I love that song so much more now that I know how to play it.
Thank you so much everybody for coming out and for dancing and singing and having such a great time with me. This is just the beginning and there are plenty more shows where that come from. Stay tuned!
