It is not every night that an all star cast of local musicians gather together to perform on one stage for an evening of music. Well it happened back on March 9th at Humphrey’s Backstage lounge in support of local musician and East County resident Scott Wilson and his music video entitled “Coffeehouse 101”. The local musicians who had performed in the video itself by lip-synching to the song “Coffeehouse 101” all performed. Musicians included in the evenings festivities were Carlos Olmeda, Gregory Page, Bart Mendoza (the Shambles), Citizen Band, The Grams, The Cathryn Beeks Ordeal, Dave Howard, Deadline Friday and The Wild Truth and many others.

Scheduled in between the music was the world premiere screening of the music video itself, which included many of the musicians who performed that night. Hearing so much about the production and the quality of the video I couldn’t wait to see it and after the screening of the film I was very impressed with the final product.

The concept of the video according to the concept part of the DVD was to gather as many of the local talent in San Diego as possible and have them sing along with the song CoffeeHouse 101 and than edit all the pieces together.

The editing of the film was done perfectly with all the lip-synching matching the lyrics. Production of the video itself was done very professionally and not that of some amateur musician taking a video camera and shooting a music video on a cheap camcorder. The video is shot all over San Diego at various locations such as Lestats Cafe, Twiggs Coffee House, and the Hot Monkey Love Café.

As a person who is into film making/editing as well as audio and sound engineering I definitely appreciate the time and effort that Scott Wilson put into making this film. The quality is great as well because a lot of today’s videos just don’t appeal to me because of all the extras that are in the videos such as flashy cars, dancers, etc. Scott made his video simple and easy to watch with no extra flashy stuff and also the song itself is very catchy as well.

That was just video itself that was really good. The evening at Humphrey’s was just insane with all the wonderful talent who came out and performed. Everyone who attended had a great time as well and also had a chance to mingle with fellow friends and musicians as well. I know I definitely had a great time at the event and was able to mingle with musicians whom I had not met before.

After attending this event I went home and popped into my music player Scott Wilson’s album entitled “Kaleidoscope’s End”. The first song on the album is Coffeehouse 101, which is a very catchy tune with great melodies and riffs, and the drumming is great as well.

Listening to the album you can definitely tell the passion of the music as well as the technical aspects that went into the album such as the sound of the album. A lot of time and effort was put into the making of this album so if you are a audiophile you can appreciate this but if you are not than you will definitely appreciate the quality of the album.

Wilson definitely accomplishes everything he set out to do on the album with nice ballads as well as great guitar sound. The hooks are very catchy in my opinion as well. The album is easy to listen to as well meaning you can actually understand the lyrics and also tap your feet to the music and also sing along with.

I highly recommend this album and going to check him out at a live performance in San Diego because not only is it Scott but he plays with his band as well and also you will have a great time. Scott Wilson is definitely one of the gems of the music scene here in San Diego and is definitely not to be missed.
