I figured some way to tape all the keyboard notes down so they would just play.
They had pedals, so I’d hit the guitar and it would feedback.“So I had all this stuff playing by itself. And then I left. And I went home and I called the bar.
The bartender answered… I got him to reach the cord to the microphone and have him hold it up to the mic and I said I was home.“I still got signed, which was amazing,” he added. Yesterday (March 18), Beck and St. Vincent were among the artists announced to perform at a MusiCares event on April 1 honouring Joni Mitchell.Other names on the line-up include Jon Batiste, Mickey Guyton, Leon Bridges, Herbie Hancock, Sara Bareilles, Brandi Carlile, Lauren Daigle, Chaka Khan, Angélique Kidjo, Cyndi Lauper, Pentatonix, Billy Porter, Stephen Stills, Black Pumas, and Allison Russell.
