Danny Schmidt writes the sort of songs that make some of us here at C-VILLE go all slack-jawed and soft-hearted. The man’s descriptive skills and narratives could put other writers to shame. But we’re hanging our heads for another reason entirely.
For reasons I won’t get into—namely, because it wasn’t anything exciting like sabotage—the preview blurb for Schmidt’s show on page 25 of the current C-VILLE features the songwriter’s handsome mug along with a writeup about Blackfriars Playhouse’s Santaland Diaries. To be clear, this was not intentional.
Below is the original text for Danny Schmidt’s sure-to-be-awesome show at Gravity Lounge on Thursday, December 11:
Return of the dark-eyed prince
Whole worlds rise and fall in the songs of Danny Schmidt: Bridges and leaves are burned, cities and churches are broken down and built up, love is forsaken and then found. And with little more than his guitar and careening voice, Schmidt becomes the architect, preacher and magician behind each of those worlds. Do not miss this gig. $10, 7:30pm. Gravity Lounge.
Danny Schmidt performs at Gravity Lounge on Thursday night. Really.
Lucky for us, Schmidt is basically happy all the time; I dialed him up and explained the mistake, and he accepted the apology because, well, the guy’s a gentleman and a prince. Be sure to catch his show on Thursday at Gravity Lounge, or his opening set for Carrie Elkin at Rapunzel’s Coffee on Saturday.
And for those of you who enjoy sabotage, here you go:
Funny? Or was I overthinking the whole "Sabotage" thing?
