Where do I begin with the Twisted Cork? The owners and workers at the Cork are some of the best people you will ever meet, the atmosphere is so cozy, and the music is phenomenal. When you pull up outside of the Twisted Cork it looks like your typical liquor store, but it is far from that on the inside. There is a full blown bar, walk-in beer cooler, and a corner stage! Go give them a "like" on their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/The-Twisted-Cork-280987672015347/?pnref=story And even better, go and see them in person! You won't be disappointed.
My first gig at Twisted Cork was October 29th and I played from 8-11pm. When I first walked in, I met the owners Prentice and Momma Sue. They are truly some awesome people! I felt so welcome when I came for the first time and you can really tell they treat their customers with the same sentiment. Here's a picture of us!
My second gig at Twisted Cork was Saturday, December 5th. I ended up playing 8-almost 12am. Being a Saturday night, there were a lot more people there and as Momma Sue put it, they were "rowdy." I don't mind the rowdiness, though. I like to use it to my advantage :) There was a guy yelling "PLAY SOME JOHN PRINE" so I invited him up to sing "In Spite of Ourselves" with me. He declined, but another girl jumped up on stage with me and we started singing. I always love getting the crowd involved. Here is a picture of me and Devin (aka my John).
The next time I played at Twisted Cork was in a different setting. It was a songwriter round! I had never been in a songwriter round before and I have always been hesitant playing my originals in front of a crowd.
I had the best time with this! I met so many talented singer/songwriters and made so many great connections! The round lasted for about 3 hours and we each performed 3-4 original songs. Hearing all the songs made me want to start doing more songwriting and songwriter rounds! (Hit me up if you have anything in mind).
I asked my good friend from college, Wes Smith, to be a part of the round and I'm so glad he came! He was such a hit at the Twisted Cork! Listen to his amazing stuff here: https://www.reverbnation.com/wessmith7
In a redundant conclusion: I LOVE THE TWISTED CORK. GO THERE.
