Performing a little solo set - Masala Centro Cultural , Buenos Aires - Argentina.

This was a totally new experience for me, though I have played live many times with other artists , I have little to no experience performing my own music in front of an audience. I almost never have performed some music I have shared here through Open Mic or D-sound recordings since I've been more dedicated in producing the work of others or sessioning as a guitar player.

It was such a different experience I must say , I got nervous like when I just started playing in front of an audience 15 years ago doing solo classical guitar performances ( oh .. yes.. I started with classical guitar training, then switched to electric. ) or my first gig as a sideman in front of a big audience.. all those feelings came back, I was a beginner again! Even though I played a 40 min set shared with two other songwriters ( @moontse and @solburgos ) to maybe 20 people it was more nerve wrecking than my touring years alongside known artists , playing for thousands at a time.

Having said this, after a couple tunes I started enjoying it and it was a beautiful experience! unfortunately I have nothing more than a couple photos from that day.. but it pumped my desire to get my songs on an album and someday perform them with a bigger band format. The recording is happening this thursday btw :) ! Thrilled!
