Real Girl at Shell Cafe

I often have the pleasure of singing at one of Steve Key’s Songwriters At Play showcases. These are held several times a week in San Luis Obispo area. There’s a lot of talent in the county, and Steve books many good traveling acts. These tend to be excellent shows.

Brian Jeffrey is one of those local talents. Last month Steve had a showcase at Shell Cafe in Pismo Beach, Brian was the featured act and I played four songs. I didn’t know it but Brian videoed one of my songs, and he just put it up on YouTube. I like it a lot!

There’s a fun crowd of regulars and it’s a warm, accepting and inviting atmosphere….
