Hotel Cafe had a packed line-up for the Monday Monday at Hotel Cafe series. The musicians played three or four song sets. The line-up was: Jenni Alpert, Daniel Blake, McKail Seely, Adanna Duru, Aryk Crowder, Jessica Childress, Eli Pafumi, Juliette Irons and Joel Eckels.

Daniel Blake |
Jennie Alpert told her story about growing up in foster care and her search for her biological father. She did find him and he backed her up on guitar for a song. I would love to hear more about her search for her father, because she also mentioned that he was homeless.

Adanna Duru |

McKail Seely |
McKail Seely is a familiar individual to me as she sings in the band Luci. Her bandmate Ashley joined her for one song. And, of course, there had to be some funny interaction. McKail said, "Ashley is such a good writer." Ashley responded, "She's so nice." In return, McKail said, "I know."

Jessica Childress |

Aryk Crowder |
Aryk Crowder mentioned that he had just signed with a indie record label.
Jessica Childress sang a song about a nasty breakup and had the audience cheering loudly at the end of her set.

Juliette Irons |

Eli Pafumi |
Juliette Irons totally changed up the singer-songwriter vibe. She went on stage with a drummer and an electric violinist. She brought some dance vibes to the audience. Most everyone was seated, but I'm sure that if it was standing room that everyone would have vibed with her.

Joel Eckels |
Joel Eckels closed out the night. He's the one who puts on these weekly events at Hotel Cafe.
