Unfortunaity, since this covid-19 situation began happening, most venues and artist have been canceling shows and pushing back tour dates. However, that will not be interfering with my blog but I wont be going to any new shows anytime soon. Most likely, my fellow music lovers will also not be going to shows any time soon. That’s sad to hear but we can make the best of it by talking about our favorite artist and support them by listing to their music. Another idea I had is to just blog about previous shows I’ve been to and discuss why they’re a good band to listen to. Another great band that really impressed was the band Okey Dokey.
As I walk into “paper tiger’s” (the venue) I noticed most people looking eager for the first band to come out. I was curious to know because I wasn’t sure who was the first band playing. As the show began, people started cheering for the band called Okey Dokey . The band Okey Dokey from Nashville really impressed me during the show because they played such a unique sound of warm indie/alternative music with a touch of 60’s pop. Aaron Martin who is the lead singer really puts on a show by jumping off stage and interacting with the audience. Not only was his performance good but the music makes you want to smile and gave me a feeling of joy. Later as the night went on, I was more and more impressed with his use of sounds and vocals. If you’re looking for a band with rich and psychedelia sound,Okey Dokey could be the band for you. After the concert, I wanted to learn more and start listing to their albums.
The album that really got my attention was “Love You,Mean It”. This album was like a journey for me and I never wanted it to stop. The album talks about love, life, and just staying true to yourself. You can listen to authentic vocals, upbeat melodies, and a feel of 60’s pop coming from the band. The most popular song on this album “Wavy Gravy”, is about being enthralled with another person you really care about and not being able to let them go. Like “Wavy Gravy”, most of the songs on the album really emphasis love . However, songs like “Simpler Times” and “Boodydew” have more meaning towards life and the feelings of not regretting anything. It was also about how spooky it can be to not let life pass you by. Overall, this album really paints a picture in the viewers mind. I recommend checking out the band if your interested in having some upbeat music or if your looking for some feel good music to brighten up your day, Okay Dokey is the band for you.
