So tonight I went to San Francisco to see Kristin Hoffmann at the Hotel Utah Saloon.
I got there early cause I thought there would be more traffic. I was waiting for Tylor at the bar and I could hear Kristin was doing her sound check, it sounded great, by the way.
So, I am sitting at the bar, I look over and Kristin is walking toward me. I said hi, she said hi back. As she walked passed me she stopped, turned around and said, "You look very familiar." I said, "I'm Let." She said, "I knew it" and gave me a big hug. She said she had to grab some stuff, I offered my assistance but she said she was ok.
She came back, and sat down next to me. We chatted for a good hour or more over dinner. We talked about her new album, "Real" which will be released off of Interscope, (I did warn her about them and their lack of promotion) and will be available digitally on Tuesday, September, 20th. She said that she wished she had one so she could give it to me. I told her that was really sweet of her but I will be sure to dl it on Tuesday. We talked about her single and how it hasn't been picked yet. I told her that my favorite songs off of "Divided Heart" are, "Temple" and "3 O'Clock in the Morning." I added that I didn't think she would do it. She said that she hadn't practiced it but maybe she could do it. We chatted about other artists, her website, her tour, my job, etc. etc. It was great.
I had invited Katia to come but I hadn't hear from her. As I was telling Tylor that it didn't look like she was going to make it, there she was at the door. I was very excited that she made it. It meant a lot to me.
So the place is very tiny, which is always great. She sounded amazing. She did some old tunes from "Divided Heart" and some from the new album and a few others I didn't know but sounded beautiful. It was time for the last song and she said, "This is the last song, I haven't practiced it, it's "3 O'Clock in the Morning, and it's for Let." Oh man, I was so touched, I could almost cry.
After the show, she gave me a big hug and I told her she was great and thanked her for the dedication. She said it was great cause she could look over and see me singing along. We chatted a bit more and then said goodbye until next week, when she will be back, yay!!
I hope you all will check out the
site/her music and let me know what you think, thanks.
