014/365 - Andrukat [For June 12th, 2010]

Today was a pretty random day! Started off early in the morning. I'm all set to watch the USA vs. England match, only to be kidnapped by Angelo and Regine! Ahh!! >< Haha. It was fun times, though! Finally went into Penn Cove Pottery (A place Angelo and I said we'd always stop at, one day, for years! Just kept passing it by until now.) and also stopped by the Coupeville market. There's a food booth... "Sho Nuff," I think? Stop by for some great Southern style, heavy on the meat cooking! Just sayin'. ;) On the way home, Angelo and I decided to walk a trail through the woods... So confusing. Haha. Never again!

A few hours later, Stephen and I headed to Anacortes to see Jessica Andrukat (along with her brother, Jared) perform their second concert! It was pretty sick! A good 40~ minutes worth. I put it up on youtube, FYI, as well as her first concert, in case you missed it! What she said about it afterwards sums it up real well:

Favorite part about concert: people singing my lyrics back to me. Can't even describe how it felt.

As a music artist, I’d imagine that’d be one of the biggest “compliments” you could ever receive, especially for someone like herself, who’s just coming up. Means that we, as fans, aren’t only there because Jessica’s an amazing friend, but also because we really are, truthfully, enjoying her music! =) If I were you, I would make an immediate effort to check her out! ;) I’d describe her writing and style as being very Jon Foreman-esque (Switchfoot), which I absolutely love (her song, Sidewalk Chalk, especially), with a hint of He is We and Paramore. And when she performs, you can definitely see her love for music pour out with every line. Honestly, if she sticks with this, she’ll be up there with those aforementioned artists, sooner than later; no doubt! ;)
