Quick Hit Artist Interview: Lasers Lasers Birmingham

Lasers Lasers Birmingham at the Silverlake Lounge

Interview with the artist. Enjoy:

What is currently influencing you in terms of music? Most of my music career I focused on songwriting but now, I’m going back to old country standards trying to learn how to be a better interpreter of other people’s material.

What thrills you about performing live? It's just so great to be on a stage in front of people again. Every aspect of it thrills me, the energy when people sing along, laugh at my jokes between songs or when the room is silent and you can feel the crowd just listening. I don’t even mind if someone yells “Play Freebird!”

The Silverlake Lounge: Nicholas Mudd Band, RJ Bloke, and Lasers Lasers Birmingham

It was off to The Silverlake Lounge to catch Small Town Friday Nights Acoustic Night. This was my second Friday night heading out to this event. On this night it was Nicholas Mudd Band, RJ Bloke and Lasers Lasers Birmingham hitting the stage with country, Americana tunes. Maybe this is just the numbers person in me, but one thing I noticed: Nicholas Mudd had three members of the band on stage, RJ Boke had a duo and then Lasers Lasers Birmingham did a solo set, 3 - 2 - 1. 

Nicholas Mudd showed some Kentucky pride. As I mentioned once on this blog, I'm a Duke basketball fan. If anyone knows the history, Kentucky and Duke have an intense rivalry. But hey, that didn't prevent me from enjoy the set.

RJ Bloke brought out the harmonica while his guitarist hit those strings hard.

Lasers Lasers Birmingham opened his set with three straight covers. What did he do during the pandemic? He said he obviously learned cover songs.
