Septimius The Great's Artscape performance video
Though Nikc posted a link to this video under the original Septimius the Great thread, I thought it deserved its own special little spotlight.
Septimius The Great did indeed perform at this year's Artscape Festival, and what a spectacle it was.
There were three -- not two, not four, but three -- dancers who performed a choreographed routine. Septimius himself was front and center, in a body length white cape, singing (lip-synching, perhaps?) one of his singles. Check it out ...
I love how, near the beginning, he asks, "Y'all ready, Baltimore?" and you can practically hear the crickets chirping. They were just cowed into silence by his magnificence, I'm sure.

I actually did contact this dude to play our CD release on 10/8 and am really disappointed that I didn't receive a response. On the other hand, he is busy doing interviews for Spanish radio according to his facebook page. Good for him.

How many sets did he play at Artscape. He's got several cuts on the video.
