The Experience that is Starkitect

If last night was a “mid-life” crises then I cannot wait for the mental breakdown. Starkitect returned to the Saxon Pub and delivered!

It had been a little over three years since I last saw Richard Weiss, a.k.a. “Starkitect.” His solo performance at The Saxon Pub was a story told through songs, costumes, and dialogue. Three years later, Richard notifies me he will be playing at The Saxon. “The Sequel” went through my mind.

I met Richard, prior to the show, in the parking lot and began to ask him about his upcoming performance. For the first time in 27 years, he would be playing with his band. All songs would be original and written within the last four years. “Good Therapy” for his mid-life crises.

“Pure entertainment” is the best way to describe the experience that was delivered last night. His stories, band banter, and changing costumes all were signs of a musician(s) enjoying being on stage. His original lyrics were witty, simple, and eloquently woven with music notes that hypnotically held your attention. I was never distracted with other “things” on my mind. I eagerly awaited his next song. Richard,” job well done.” Thank You for notifying me of your performance. You were the “shot” I needed.
