One of my favorite things to do that does not happen as
often as I like, is going to a spur of the moment show. Since I was already in
Birmingham, I thought, “Why not see what is going on Workplay tonight?” It was
a guy named Peter Bradley Adams. From my last sentence, it should be obvious
that I had never heard of him. He is also from Birmingham, which could be
considered an added bonus. I arrived at Workplay and I was surprised when I
walked in and there were tables on the floor. In all the times I have been to
Workplay over the years, I have never once seen a table on the floor in the
theatre side. I picked a table on the left side, in the front. There were
probably less than 50 people in the entire room and that made it all the more
intimate. The opener was a girl from Nashville named Molly Parden. Her songs
were very personal and detailed. She was talking about one of her songs and she
said, “I swear I’m not Taylor Swift” and the crowd chuckled. She played a few
more songs then she told us she would be back with Peter. There was a short
break and it was time for Peter. He came out and opened with Be Still My Heart.
Not long after that, I realized “He is wearing socks!!! That is so rock and
roll!!!” I do not remember all of the other songs he played, but I remember
Emily’s Rain
My Love Is My Love
Darkening Skies
The Longer I Run (Best crowd response, of course)
Katie
Don’t Rest Your Weight On Me Now
For You
If you ever need to listen to relaxing music or go to a
relaxing show, go see Peter Bradley Adams and you will find what you are looking for.
