Myself, Kierninan Mcmullan and Terrence Cunningham jamming out un-rehearsed at BloomBars Sunday!

What I love about Bloombars is the energy. it sounds corny. But everyone who graces that stage is filled with such beautiful talent it is truely overwheming. It is a tradition on Bloom sundays as well that everyone who is an artist gets on stage together and plays a song none of them have ever played together and just let it flow, and i can tell you that is one of the more terrifying expieriences but somehow it always turns out perfectly. In a way you couldnt have possibly rehearsed to be better.

On this particular Sunday, Keirnan Mcmullen, a singer from Ireland was blowing our minds. I have never been more in awe of a live performance, Terrence and I ( whom I am always constantly in awe of) looked at each other a few times through the night and almost laughed, in some ways it was just crazy to see talent like that.

Kiernan uses a loop and by the end of some songs it sounds like a whole orchestra is on stage, it's incredible.

Enjoy this little song. AND as always, check out Bloombars on sundays
