Stoger & I are heading to Birmingham this afternoon to see Angela Easterling at Moonlight on the Mountain. Should be a great evening to cap off last night’s wonderful Lu show in Macon, GA!

Very, very nice, albeit short, set from Angela Easterling at Moonlight on the Mile in Birmingham Friday night. First, a few words on the venue: I LOVE this place! It is small (capacity 50 or so), intimate, and located in a storefront suite in a little shopping center across the street from an incredibly beautiful view from the top of Shades Mountain. They appear to me to be emulating Eddie’s Attic (the guy taking money at the door asked me if I had ever been there when I mentioned we drove from Atlanta for the show), complete with the “no talking please – this is a listening room” admonition at the beginning of the show (I LOVE it!). However, unlike Eddie’s Attic, they serve no food or drinks; instead, you can bring in whatever you want! Coolers, bottle of winef, food from home, the the cafe next door, whatever. I thought that was so cool – however, we did not expect this, so we arrived empty-handed. Next time!
A talented young singer-songwriter named Hannah Miller opened with a 30-minute or so set which I enjoyed very much. Angela played about one hour. After the show, I purchased, and she signed, copies of her first CD, Earning Her Wings & her third, new CD, Beguiler. We drove back to North Georgia immediately after the show, wanting to have heard more from Ms. Easterling but, at the same time, grateful for the earlier start home than anticipated, as we were both quite tired from our excursion to Macon the night before to see Lu & the boys.
If you ever find yourself in Birmingham, AL looking for a show, check out Moonlight on the Mountain. It is a really cool venue with the right attitude about the singer-songwriter… 😉
