[ATTENDED: November 1, 2018] Zac Clark
Thursday nights are bad music nights for us. C. and I have a Boy Scout meeting. During Field Hockey season, T. has practice (or in this case a party). So arrangements must be made.
We thought the Guster show started at 8:30, which would have given us just the right amount of time to drop of T and get to the show.
But then they moved the show up to 8. (Irritatingly, Guster had malfunctions with their gear so they didn’t go on until 9:30 anyway). If there was easy parking we would have made it fine. But Jersey City on a Thursday night was something of a zoo and it took us fifteen minutes to find a spot (there was a potter’s wheel in the garbage which I seriously considered taking). Then we had to walk the 8 or 9 blocks (and we had a delicious slice form a gourmet pizza place on 5th) and after security and bathrooms, we basically walked in and heard two and a half songs from Zac Clark.
He veered a little too far into country for my liking, but overall seemed okay. I have a short clip of one of his songs. But really that’s all I remember of his set.
When the night was over and we were looking at merch I didn’t even realize I was standing right in front of Zac Clark (how could I not notice that beard). he was super friendly and shook my hand. I felt bad that I didn’t buy anything from him. Especially when I said that my son shared a name with him. He pointed to a shirt that had a drawing of his big bearded face on it and my son’s name. If my son wasn’t so curmudgeonly, I would have absolutely bought it for him. I’m just not sure he would have worn it.
If it had my name on it, I would have.
