The Listening Party

Our "Album Listening Party" was hands down one of the most intimate and personal Allred shows. I had no idea what to expect when we passed around that microphone. To be honest I just expected some comments about the new songs. I was even a little afraid no one would say anything.
The comments ended up being exactly what the band and I needed to hear. Ones of support and kindness. A lot of them were stories of how the music and shows have helped in some way. It's funny how things happen like that. When you least expect it.
I have felt for a while that the music, the musicianship, and the overall world of Allred has become better and brighter. There is more of a focus now. I feel like people are finally starting to notice what this music has always been about.
The band and I had prepared some dressed down versions of a few of the new songs ("Spark/"Along The Way") and we planned on playing about half the record for people to hear. It was not as packed of a room as we are normally accustomed to at Velour. But it was perfect. Just enough room for everyone to sit down and listen. All the people that came were so polite their words truly touched me. I can't remember a show where I was on the verge of tears the entire time. These weren't tears of sorrow but ones of gratitude and joy.
Thank you all for sharing such a special night with us. This record will change things for us. We can't wait for the future and all that is yet to come!
