David Ryan Harris and BOOYAH (and more!) returned for Round 2 at Hotel Cafe last night:

Yesterday Shutting Down***
Sittin' On Top Of The World***
Pretty Girl (Shining Star, No One, The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, Sexual Healing)*
For You

*band comprised of BOOYAH (Michael Chaves and Sean Hurley) and JJ Johnson, creating BOOYAHWHAT
**band comprised of BOOYAHWHAT and Bob Reynolds, creating BOOYAHWHATDEN
***band comprised of BOOYAHWHATDEN and John Mayer, creating BOOYAHWHATDENAWWWCHYEAH(snap)
all other songs performed solo (yes, for those of you keeping score at home, that's only one of 'em)

What a day. After spending the day prepping for and playing a little private set with BOOYAHWHATDENAWWWCHYEAH(snap)'s other configuration, we rolled to Hollywood for the big Hotel Sauna (or Sauna Cafe or Sauna Sauna, point being it was WARM in that mofo) show. The kids came out like no shoes and were not disappointed.
We got HOLD MY FIRE early in the night, which set up one of the most rockin', deepest groovin' SWEETEST BERRYs I've ever heard. Bob added some sweet sweet saxiness. John jumped up for YESTERDAY SHUTTING DOWN and SITTIN' ON TOP OF THE WORLD (a Howlin' Wolf cover), all the guys trading solos in the latter and all the people soul-clapping in the former. DRH brought back the love to close the set (got to understand he loves the kids). A special night indeed for everyone in the room.

A few visuals to go with that essay, all via my man Gari Lamar Askew (with his Ron Gant-esque swagger)...see you next week...












Don't act like i never toldya.

David Ryan Harris Was at the Hotel Cafe Last Night. Were You?

A BLOG FROM MR. SCOTTY CROWE:


TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2007
DAVID RYAN HARRIS WAS AT HOTEL CAFE TONIGHT, WERE YOU?

For You*
Strong Enough*
All I Need (Everything's Not Lost)
Can We Get Down
Caribbean Queen tease >
Used to This
Turn Around
Pretty Girl (The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, No One, Sexual Healing, Let's Get It On, I Want You To Want Me, Your Body is a Wonderland)
--
Don't Look Down*

*solo
all other songs with Michael Chaves and Sean Hurley (not this one), creating the collective group I will henceforth call "BOOYAH"

Ok y'alls. I've seen a lot of shows and talked a bunch of hyperbole, but tonight was something special. I can only assume it's a harbinger of the Mondays to come, but these guys together make magic. These songs, old favorites, had a completely new and different vibe thanks to BOOYAH. "Can We Get Down" ended with a singalong and a "that's the man workin' on your bed...springs." "All I Need" and "Used to This" were great all Chaves-ized. "Pretty Girl" was fun as always and included a little of the new Alicia Keys single. BOOYAH reverted to DRH for an encore of "Don't Look Down."

It was a special night, and there are 3 more coming up this month (if you were at home tonight, your November was only 25% ruined). Monday nights. Hotel Cafe.

BOOYAH.

On a slightly different note, a bunch of our street teamers and Myspace Friends from Phoenix and Los Angeles are going to be at the Suns/Lakers game on Friday in Phoenix, AZ. They have arranged a meet up of sorts to get to know other DRH fans in the Southwest and Cali. If you're interested in meeting up with the group and have tickets to the game, message me back here on Myspace and I'll give you all the info. I will be there as well and would love to meet you before enjoying the Basketball Game! If you are interested in putting together a meet up in your area, feel free to message me as well!

Have a wonderful week and hope to see you out at the Hotel or Temple Bar!
