James Otto put on an excellent show in Milwaukee on 04/19/08

I went yesterday to Milwaukee WI to see James Otto play at the Buckhead Saloon and was talking him up to so many people. I sat with a group of people who I had met outside of the bar waiting to get in and filled them in about James, they were so excited to see him and to see if they could meet him. They saw the twinkle in my eye when I was talking about him and asked me if I had ever met him personally. I told them that I first met James in South Dakota about 4 or 5 years ago and have been seeing him play about 2-3 times a year after that.

George his tour manager came off of the bus and saw me came over and gave me a hug and then spied the cheese curds I had for James in my hand and wanted to know if I brought any for him. I had to go and buy a bag of cheese for George then. Something about coming to WI, you have to have cheese.

The entire venue was packed in there and it was so amazing to see all these people there to see James playing. Right now Sunset Man CD is Number 1 in Milwaukee and in Madison Just Got Started Loving You is Number 1 and has been for several weeks.

James put on such a rocking show for us all despite a cold he is trying to fight off. He did state that For You will be his next single coming out and so many were excited about it. It has been a while since I have been to a concert, my throat is sore as well as my voice, but I was singing every song right with him.

Afterwards he made sure that he was available for autographs and pictures, I couldn't believe the large line there was. I have about 5 people to email their pictures with James to since they didn't have cameras with them. Brian his manager said he was shocked to see this many people here to see James in one night and thinks that James needs to come back to Wisconsin more often. Tyler Reese, Dj at Star Country 96.3 in Madison WI and I both agreed with Brian and said that we could send them different Venue info around Madison to get him to come back to play there.

It was an awesome time and night. I can't wait to see James play again. Way to go James.
