JoCo Didn’t Turn Left…

JoCo didn’t turn left, but it was still pretty awesome. Ian and I went to the Birchmere last week to support JoCo’s benefit for the Lung Transplant Foundation. His booking agent recently had both lungs replaced. Did you even pause when you read that? He had both lungs replaced.
The agent was there and he made some jokes about surgery… and robots, monsters, etc. It was pretty cool all around.
The opening act was Chelsea Lee. She was an interesting character. Her voice was amazing, but her lyrics needed a little maturing — whoa, I just looked her up and she’s 17. Her songs were very similar and would all do fairly well as the first quarter of a JoCo song. A little melancholy, relationship-y… But then no robots. Or monsters. Or villains. In between songs, she and her guitarist (Todd Wright, according to the internets) were funny and bantered. So if they could work that into the songs, they would have suited the crowd well.
