School Night is back in this online world and is now branded as Home School. I logged on recently to catch their 4th edition. They take the same approach as Los Angelenos. They get pre-recorded short sets. A difference is that Los Angelenos does their sets on Facebook and Instagram. Home School does it on Twitch and the artists can join in on the chat while everyone watches the set.
For me, I must have had a bad connection, because the artists kept on freezing up. Even though I was getting a glitchy video, I do have to give it up to the School Night team for booking 3 great artists.
Luz opened the night. What a wonderful voice. I couldn't see her playing the keys, but it really sounded like her fingers were just floating over each note. She had a good set-up with a headset and microphone.

Stacey went all out with production value. Someone was doing the filming and did close up shots and long shots. It was a professionally done video. She played on a real piano - an instrument I don't get to hear much of these days by a live band as everything is electronic. Her music was like being in an enchanted forest -- the nice kind, of course.

Michigander's lead singer closed out the night. In his video, he played in front of a large window that allowed us to look into his back yard of grass and trees. Very pleasant. His music mixed in folk and rock. And he was able to take his vocals on a journey going up and down the chords as well as quickly speeding up and slowing it down. His last song had me thinking of Bobby McFerrin of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" fame.
