Local happenings Jeff Grant performs at Utopia Coffee

Opening act was Seth the proprietor of Utopia, and Nick Milke former employee and good friend. Also performances from Christine (wife of Seth and proprietor),as well as another friend who's name I did not catch. All of them were enjoyable to watch, you felt like home and family on one of those rare nights everyone has a good time, and is brave enough to join in the fun and music.


Friday night, I popped into Utopia Coffee in Spring Hill as I heard the owner, his wife, and a few friends were performing that night. The opening acts were all about fun, and putting yourself out there with unabashed abandon for the sheer joy of it. My girl friends and I found it inspiring as well as fun to watch.
The highlight of the evening was Jeff Grant, the headliner act for the evening. If you haven't heard of Jeff, as I hadn't then your missing out! If you click the title link to this post you'll be taken to his page. He's a song writer/musician among other things.
With a unique perspective on life translates well into his lyrics and musical style. He makes you laugh, feel, ponder, even a little melancholy, for a moment that is. Mostly though, his quick wit and humor, coupled with his modern 'green earth' cynical humor about life, love and friendships, he leaves you highly entertained and cheerful. Which I must say sounds impossible, yet his mastery of the humorous reality lyric leaves you just so. You've found yourself joyfully provoked to finding delight in the reality lyrics he twists to be funny. WHO CAN DO THAT? Jeff Grant!
Thanks Jeff it was a truly great performance, one that I hope I'll have the privilege of seeing again. Let us know when that new CD is ready for sale!
