We Thought Of It First: Reid Genauer Solo
Lifted from an October 2007 interview with our very own Ace:
AC: Let me switch gears again…I thought the Gathering of the Vibes solo set you played in 2002, if I may cloak my objectivity here for a minute, was one of the most fucking perfect acoustic sets of music I’ve ever heard. Do you have these yens to do get out and do some more solo shows?
RG: Yeah, I like it. And that is a show that I’m proud of — it was a defining moment. Kind of like an “I’m here to stay” kind of thing. That might be why it was what it was; there was a lot riding on it. Yes, I like it, and I’d like to do more of it, whether it’s incorporating it into the AoD set or solo shows or whatever. In fact, it’s something I discussed recently, and I would like to do more of it.

In the comments section, myself and Paul Robinson (Owner of The Stone Church) chime in to comment on the interview and express their hopes to see a Reid Solo tour in the future.

Awesome news. Awesome, awesome news.
Caught Reid do a solo show back at the Wetlands and I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone get a crowd moving like he did with just an acoustic guitar. Will definitely be at Sullivan Hall.
Nice! And it looks like the Philly show is with Tyler Ramsey from Band of Horses!
reid is the real deal paul simon for me in my generation.
he’s a story-teller w/ a great voice and a gentle stroke on the ax that keeps your attention while lulling you into submission. Like sniffin ritalin on a swaying hammock.
i dig this tour. I also dig AOD in full.
Ryan Montbleau for the ladies (though i dig him for some throwdowns) and Reid for the 30-somethin, glide-HT bloggin music geek guys….ha.
