Daniel Joe Armstrong

Taking the stage with Green Day's "Angel Blue" and his original "Rattlesnake," Daniel Joe Armstrong delved into the imaginative realm, embodying characters from literature and comics. Romeo from Romeo and Juliet appealed to him due to his intense romantic infatuation, while Superman/Clark Kent fascinated him for his noble use of power and intelligence.
Tonight's question, "What are you letting go of?" led to a profound revelation. Daniel revealed his desire to be liberated from the constraints of getting up late and seeking approval from his parents. Previously, Daniel felt the need for their validation and permission in musical pursuits. However, he’s now realized his independence and no longer lets their opinions dictate his choices. Regardless of their approval, Daniel shares his life with them, reclaiming his autonomy in his decisions and pursuits.

Offering an array of delectable flavors including pulled pork, chicken, beef, cheese, and lactose-free options, Eva ensures there's a delightful empanada to satisfy every palate.
Her journey in the empanada business began in July of last year, initially taking personal orders before swiftly expanding to cater events and handle larger orders. Eva has become a cherished weekly vendor, a fixture not only at OBJX's Sunday Sessions but also at Open Concepts every Tuesday.

Closing the night with soulful melodies, I decided on performing "Daddy's a Psycho" by Charlotte Cardin and my newest heartfelt original track "Sometimes."
As a character I would like to embody in real life, I chose Patrick Star, because I need to be more unapologetically goofy and joyful.
Reflecting on the night's question, I am to let go of vices and people who drain me. I am to be more committed to self-care and surrounding myself with positivity, signifying a journey toward personal growth and renewal.

Another night for the blogs!
Thank you to everyone who came out, our jams always make my heart full and, because we were so prompt, we were able to jam for a full hour. I love to see how people experiment with others and their own ideas, and especially friends dancing along.
Love always,
