MacJam Session 2

After a successful inaugural run of MacJam, we've decided to keep rolling with it. Session 2 was too much fun! We had a ton more people and a few different acts on the roster. We have to thank the Mackay's for letting us invade their home and feeding us! Not to mention sharing their talented friends and family with us.

Terann and Meliah were our opening act with Once Upon a December. Too cute!

Shane led off the big boys. He did a few covers of Bon Jovi, Plain White T's, Sheryl Crow, Counting Crows and Matt Kearny.

Eli did some originals (I Want to Fly, High School) and then did a couple of covers. He covered Train (Soul Sister), Jason Mraz (Geek in the Pink) and then did a Rascal Flatts tune with my Pop.

This is where we had intermission and ate Heather's 12 (which became 11) layer chocolate cake. Delicious!

Devin opened the second set. He did a couple of originals and the covered Weezer and Corey Hart (I Wear my Sunglasses at Night, hence the wig and shades.)

This is our new pal Daniel Thuet. He's quite the talented young man. Who knew that a song about cinnamon rolls could be so sensual? We'll let you know when he and Eli hit up open mic night at Velour. You can hear some of his stuff on his MySpace music page.

This is Dan with Karlie. They did pretty for throwing together a duet before the show.

And this is Karlie Mckinnon. Think Regina Spektor meets Ingrid Michaelson meets Norah Jones. Great pianist, great lyricist, and an OUTSTANDING voice! If you're going to be near Farmington on July 10th, she'll be opening for Colors there. Stop by. We might be there. She's got music on her Myspace page too.

This is one of the better pictures of our audience. My mom and Miranda (although MJ was with the boys most of the night. Teenagers.)

And I'm going to leave you with a special treat. It's kind of dark, but you'll get the picture. This is Eli singing the song he wrote for his parents- I Want to Fly. It was written for their 30th anniversary and actually won him a spot in the top 10 new LDS artist. He got to do a three state tour and everything. I'll warn you, he's kind of a showoff. But that's why I love him.

Thanks again Heather and Shane! We're looking forward to the end of June. Bigger and better!
