David Owens Music Live ↠ Anchorage Town Square.

A few weeks ago, on a day when it was in the upper 70's (heat wave, watch out!) here in Anchorage and a beautiful sunny day...Dave and I decided to head downtown and see if there was a spot he could plug in and jam out. We found the perfect spot at Anchorage Town Square, Dave asked the few people that were lounging in the grass if they would mind if he played for a bit, and everyone said no.

So that's exactly what he did. Once he got set up and started playing, people who would be power walking by would stop and linger or sit and stay once they heard him. It was so much fun! Dave even got an unexpected backup singer/dancer...it was all fun and games until he started grabbing Dave's guitar. Not cool, man, not cool.









The food stand people brought us a few waters and people really seemed to enjoy stopping for a bit to bask in the sunshine and listen to some live music. One of Dave's friends from the Air Force even was driving by and heard his voice, he made his girlfriend check on facebook if Dave was in fact in Anchorage and then they turned the car around to come listen and say hi. Such a small world.

Impromptu David Owens Music ↠ CRUSH wine bistro and cellar, Anchorage

The other day, Dave and I walked downtown to find a place where we could sit and discuss the coming weeks and our plans for what was ahead. We wound up at a cute little place we'd had our eye on visiting, CRUSH wine & bistro cellar. It was another perfect day and we were hoping to sit outside, so why not grab a glass of wine and a beer while we chatted about life...

Dave had his guitar and the notebook I bought him and had engraved for our first anniversary (paper is the traditional gift) where he jots down all of his thoughts and possible song ideas. There was a table of two men sitting behind us, and as we got up to leave we got to talking to them. One of the men saw Dave's guitar, asked if he played, and then said he'd buy us all a bottle of wine to share if Dave would play everyone a few songs.

Deal.






...and I don't know if anyone is as excited about the new album as I am (impossible), but Dave just added this video I recorded to his new youtube channel. It's a demo of a song that will be on the new album and I am in love. Even though I've already heard it a billion times, I can't get enough. Anyone else?
