Brady Rymer at XM – 12 Jun 2009

Yesterday, we were excited to get back to the Rumpus Room at XM in DC and see Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could perform live in the XM LiVE Performance Studio! We’ve seen them a couple times before, once in Georgia, and love his enthusiasm, music and smile. And even cooler, Barbara came with us too!

We spent a bit of time in the upstairs waiting area. The kids were asked if they would like to make some recordings for possible use on the station, and they all loved it — they had to say “Sirius/XM Kids Place Live!” Camille ran around chasing one very fast little toddler who feels right at home at XM, wandering down this way and that.

We finally got to head into the performance theater. Brady in the band wandered in before Mindy got to play her “joke” on them. Brady jumped right into playing, starting off with the logical choice “Here Comes Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could.” The band members at this show were Brady on lead, Seth Farber on keybaords, Liz Queler on mandolin and vocals and then Chris Roselli stuck over in the drum box.

The concert was fantastic. Great energy, great selection of songs (though I would have loved to hear 15 more, of course). The audience really got into “I Found It!” Brady played older songs along with songs from the latest CD and even a couple new tunes, which we can’t wait to hear on his next CD! He finished up on a high note with the popular “Road Trip.” What fun!

We had a great time hanging out for a long time after the show. I can’t believe that we won’t get to go back to XM for at least a month! A whole month! How will we make it that long?
