From the Archives: Nomadian - Live @ The Joint 2007

Seventeen years ago, I played with three dudes at this now closed venue in LA called the Joint. Aw yeah, the Joint. It was my last show with that iteration of that band.

The guitarist for this band was Brian Chism and I always loved his guitar part in the B-section after the first chorus and into the second verse. During our performance, I remember looking at him and feeling in my heart that his place should be always and forever next to me on stage. Coachella, where you at?

When I hear this recording from seventeen years ago, I cringe a little because I sing this song differently these days. Yet I am reminded of my former self - a twenty-something weird, Black girl writing songs on her keyboard, performing and belting out with a rock band.

Not much has changed.
