Show report

So I went to Växjö. First gig since december 2009. Man, that feels ages ago. Anyhooo, I met up with David and the Kinetics-guys at Kafé Deluxe and went through some brief soundchecking and then we all had dinner. Soundguy for the evening was this really nice guy, "Poppe". He did a great job and really worked with me, adding effects on the fly as the show went and really played along with my set, making it more alive and flying. I really love when a soundguy works like that.

Setlist for the evening:
1. Waking
2. Wings
3. The Ocean
4. Where To From Here
5. Sorry
6. Beauty

The gig went well. I had a lot of tech-stuff like pedals, computer, keyboard, looping-stuff. And it all worked flawlessly. I'm recording loops in realtime with the guitar and it syncs to other pre-arranged loops and sound effects in Ableton Live. It's so cool. I also played some keyboards along with the looped part. I'm really getting a big sound. Just the way I want it. A lot of people came up to me and
said they liked the gig. I am happy. This is just what I needed.

Stay tuned for more Kinetics/Sherman-shows.

Sherman is back.

New frontiers

Well... that "first gig since forever" never happened. Had to cancel it due to my, at the time, very big health issues. Time went on and here I am again, centuries later. New website, new hopes and a new me. I hope. Next up is Sherman opening up for Kinetics, at their release party in Växjö. I'm super thrilled and super psyched. I'm workin' on some serious looping and midi triggin' thingies. Gonna be swell. See you soon Växjö!
