The Charm of Hugo CD Release Party a Smashing Success! - June 25, 2008
The Charm of Hugo CD release party was Saturday, June 21, and what a party! There were 150+ people in attendance (the GM said it was the biggest crowd they had outside in about 2 years), there was a kids-only moshpit, and there were mini-cupcakes with sprinkles! Merch-girl Julia sold 50+ CDs while James Cavanaugh & The Charm of Hugo band jammed for more than an hour, performing all the tracks off the CD plus a little extra something from the NEXT album.
Lacey Mattison was joined on stage by Kent Miura for an opening set that was soothing, exciting and enticing all at once.
James was joined on stage by ALL these fabulous musicians (not necessarily all at once):
Steve Hatley
Gary Kephart
Lacey Mattison
Kent Miura
Gary Setzer
Gia Torcaso
Rich Washburn
The madman of sound, Mr. Mark Simon provided his exceptional talents at the mixing board.
Drummer Rich Washburn said he wants to do it again, so I think we just might have to.
Thanks to everyone who attended the show (especially those who traveled in from Carson City and Sacramento) for making it such a happening event. And extra-special-warm-fuzzy thanks to everyone who bought a copy of The Charm of Hugo!
