Alpha Music’s Thump Off!

Here’s yours truly, playing “Ain’t No Sunshine” in the Alpha Music Thump Off!



My student, Chris Albert, came along for the trip and competed along with me. Glad they caught this on video…

I did a quick search and there’s no published video from my performance…along with a few other performers who were in the competition. That’s probably for the best; I went to use a mic and then wasn’t allowed to use a vocal mic as part of performing my entry…ok, like that wasn’t stressful enough (I was sweating to sing loud enough to fill that hall while playing bass).

After I did my performance, another contestant saw what happened to me…he went up to the stage and GRABBED a vocal mic and stand before someone could stop him, and sat down to do his performance with a vocal mic (good on you sir).

It was explained to me (after someone apologized about how unfair in appearance that it was someone else got to use a mic and I didn’t)…that it was a Thump off, not a vocal and bass competition. Ah. Well. That made it completely better. I’ll make sure to beatbox with my vocals next time then….*sigh*

Anyway, it was still a great idea and a fun event. Enjoy some video from my fellow competitors. Contestant names are in the video titles.
