Guilty Pleasures, Mercy Lounge, Nashville, TN - 3/5/2011

This evening found us heading out to the Mercy Lounge en masse in party mode (meaning we were up for a night out past midnight).  The Guilty Pleasures always put on a fun show with a totally oddball mix of 80's songs, from the obvious to the sublimely obscure.  This was no exception, and it again really showed off the talent of these guys.

The coolest part, though, and the super memorable aspect of the show, was when Jonathon Cain of Journey joined the band for "Faithfully," "Touchin' Lovin' Squeezin'," "Separate Ways," and "Don't Stop Believing." His daughter joined, as well, as she is an aspiring singer.  He sounded great and took lead vocals along with his daughter on "Faithfully."  I didn't realize that he wrote/co-wrote all those songs.  Pretty cool to see him in such a tiny venue when Journey still plans arena gigs.

Definitely an "only in Nashville" type of thing ...
