Re-evaluating my musical direction....
A lot has been happening to me musically lately. On one hand, I'm blessed so many people recognize my ability to produce good music. On the other, the over-exposure has overshadowed some of what I'm capable to do.
So I've decided to take a 3-month hiatus from performing live music under my name (i.e. "Henry Chung & ....") except my regular monthly gig at the Wanch, or any multi-band show and/or festival organized by Mark 1, Underground or Grappa's, etc. Come to think of it, it's really not a hiatus at all, but I want some quality time off for me to focus on my work (I do have a day job and a pretty important one) and re-evaluate my musical direction. In other words, I need some down time, mentally.
When I make my comeback in September, I'd like to hit hard with the reunion of the original members of the HK Blues Allstars, another mind-blowing show with the New Blues Allstars, and a memorable celebrity show at Kubrick Cafe.
When I come back, I want to be like Buddy Guy or Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown.
In the meantime, I accept all session work, live music work as a sideman, freelance lyricist work, and other freelance work.
I found the following on a blog from Shanghai re: "广深公路":
"貌似最近真的有很多值得取标题的事情，但是。。。还是没有思量的把席位给了明哥。。。
晚上跑步的时候把广深公路循环了数遍，还是适应不起，如果不是最后点睛的那段口琴估计印象还要更不好一点点。但是期待仍在，如果他执意作的是一张公路风味的民谣唱片，我只能照单全收。"
P.S. Went home and found more reviews about "广深公路":
"口琴配的太完美了。" - m夜's blog
"没有“大货车”，我会觉得幸福很多~特别是口琴一吹起来的时候，感觉好好~曲子简简单单，挺好听的。" - Michelle's blog
