Mendy Magistro: Alchemy Coffee

I could listen to Mendy sing anytime. There's something about her sweet voice, melodic guitar, and her jazzy influences that make her so incredible. This show was particularly amazing because she had 4 new songs. Yay!

She played at Alchemy Coffee, an eccentric coffee shop that sells organic soups and AMAZING pastries. I was lucky enough to try the cheese bread, cinnamon roll, and an eclair, all of which were mouth-watering and tasted like they were made from scratch, with love ;)

I Felt Like a Spy...

At Mendy's show, I used my nice 70-200 telephoto lens to get some killer shots. The best part was that I was able to get some great shots of the people who were listening and supporting Mendy. Sometimes I felt like a spy because they had no idea how close I was actually photographing them...but I think I caught some sweet moments. Mendy has such a beautiful voice, that it just brings out the love in everyone :)

(I hope no one minds that I'm posting some of these pics)

Oh, and this is Juan. He helped Mendy with the sound and he also filmed her because he's been editing her songs and uploading them to You Tube.

Mendy and Gentry: acoustic show

This last Saturday night, my good friend Mendy played at an open mic night at Cafe Marmalade in Salt Lake City. I have heard her play many times before, but this time was special because Gentry played with her for the first time.

Amazing. Mendy is an extremely talented song writer and with the combination of Gentry's mad guitar skills, the show was incredible. Too bad they could only play a handful of songs....
