6:30 am comes much too early when you go to bed at 12:30. I think I may actually still be asleep right now. I can’t do weeknight shows anymore without paying for it the next day. It was however a show well worth it. I went to see Matt Dusk last night, as some readers may recall I wrote a short blurb when I purchased the tickets in February included in the post a musical note.
Besides simply having a night without children my husband and I both enjoyed the show very much. It was nice to have the opportunity to see a good jazz singer live, after all Winnipeg isn’t exactly known for its jazz scene.
I was curious to see the setup for the show as I've never been to one at either of the Winnipeg Casino's but it does seem to work. It gives it a more of a loungy intimate feel which for jazz works particualrly well.
It was a very nice set list and included both mine and my husbands favorite songs. Two Shots of Happy is my hubbys fav and mine is All About Me. He also sang My Way and That's Life two really great Sinatra songs and I think he did them justice.
I hadn't heard of the opening act Anna Wilson before but I enjoyed her set as well. I particularly enjoyed the duet between the two performers of You've got a friend in me from toy story. I've always loved that song. I spent most of the evening with a smile on face and enjoyed every minute of the show.
Afterwards he did a meet and greet so we stuck around to meet him and get an autograph. I normally wouldn't have stayed for a meet and greet but I've noticed how he seems to make an effort to actually respond to fans on facebook and I wanted to see if the feeling that he was a nice guy carried through in person.
It did, he seemed to be enjoying himself as much as the fans who had stuck around to meet him and he was more than happy to take pictures, see right. All in all it was a pleasant way to spend an evening and I'm sure if he comes back through Winnipeg my husband and I would be happy to go see him again.
