A Rock Star IS Born!





The OK Feeling, featuring Elizabeth Owens

Busy, busy, busy! Chris the kids and I have been running here and there all weekend long trying to squeeze as much fun in as we can. The big news from this past weekend is Elizabeth performed with local band The OK Feeling at a small venue in beautiful downtown Pulaski on Friday. Her first public performance went GREAT!

Elizabeth was a little nervous, there were four other bands to go on before her and the OK Feeling, because they were the headliner, so she had to stand around and wait for the other performers to go on stage. The OK Feeling are four very talented guys, the drummer did not make this performance it was an evening of acoustic music, that Elizabeth has know since high school. Grant Back, lead singer, Gabe McFarland and Justin Doyle who both play guitar, were there and it was awesome!

The OK Feeling performs, mostly, original music and after they played three songs Elizabeth was brought up on stage to sing with them. Elizabeth sang four covers: Mary Jane’s Last Dance by Tom Petty, Love Is What I Got by Sublime, my favorite, Kurt Cobain’s, Where did You Sleep Last Night and the Foo Fighters, Everlong, Elizabeth’s favorite.

It was so much fun to see her up on stage and I think she was living a dream at that moment. I’m not really sure where she is going with all this but she isn’t quitting school or her day job anytime soon. But there was one promise I did make to her, if and when she receives a Video Music Award or any other for that matter, Mr. Kanye West will NOT be interrupting her acceptance speech!
