MAGIC

Apple Bar has always been a special venue for us. Not only is it where our manager Clif Loftin first saw us play, but it has also played host for numerous great meridianwest performances. Last night was no exception. From the intro of “Feather” to the last chord of “Revolution," the entire set had an inescapable energy that consumed both the band and the audience. The show transformed the small, wood and brick second story of Apple Bar, into a massive concert hall. Even though it was just David, Ryan, and I, at certain parts of the night I swear I could hear an orchestra behind us. The crowd was unbelievable as well. For one of the first times, the people in the audience that had never heard us before were clapping and cheering just as loud as the faithful. We even got a standing ovation with the audience screaming, "ENCORE, ENCORE!!!!" Personally, the show will always have a special meaning, because it was the first show in several months that I felt like my old self vocally. Thank you to everyone that came out that night and helped make it such a great moment in the timeline of meridianwest. ~Mark
