Over the last 3 years, we have played many shows, traveled many kilometers, met many people, invented many words to describe experiences that appeared to be indescribable… and the #peakpp was one of those experiences that we just had to put a word to, something different than all the other words we use, a word we will remember for years to come… and that word is AWESOMETASTIC.
We had a different set tonight, a mixture of new and old songs, songs we fell in love with over time. We also included a BRAND new song we’ve been working on for the last month and an old song we’ve only performed a handful of times, clearly expressing Jeff’s passions for obscure Sci-Fi television program references. There was a moment when a handful of people recognized which show he was talking about, halfway through the song, and he started laughing while trying to sing. It was absolutely beautiful, to share that moment with everyone. It was also amazing to be working with Shawn Cole again, and everyone from @thepeak… seriously rad boys and girls.
Clearly a combination of the common words “Awesome” and “Fantastic,” and yes, we are a clever bunch, if you are asking. The first Peak Performance Project showcase at the Red Room in Vancouver was one of the most memorable shows we’ve ever played. Preceding our set, we had the ultimate pleasure of SHARING the stage with our old friend “@VinceVaccaro,” our mountain man from back home, and our new friends “@bodhijones” and “@jesshilldreams,” who are both so wonderful in their own ways and incredible talented people. We were surrounded by all of our families, our brothers and sisters from Vancouver and Victoria, and when we hit the stage at midnight, we could feel the love, and the energy from every single person in the room.
Thank you so so much ladies and gentleman, boys and girls… it is because of your support and love that we were able to be here. Please try your best to make your way to the rest of the showcases happening every Thursday this month at The Red Room… you won`t regret it, and it will an awesometastic chance to meet all of our amazing new friends in the Peak Performance Project!
Love Always, Acres of Lions
