I have watched different private session music events on television. The personal vibe of these events helps you to want to be there, to go see a show for yourself. All of those emotions watching those television shows were surpassed tonight at the Ignition Music Garage in Goshen, Indiana. This is the best and most appropriate venue that I have seen and been to. A must for any music lover.
It was nice to be out with the fam again too. I look at Jeff Massey as my younger brother, Joe Winters, Eric Saylors, and Joe Bishop as my cousins. When the band opens up to you as these boys do, you cannot help but feel a connection with them. Each in our own way. Perhaps some the same as me. You care about them and want them to succeed because you are so proud of them, like family.
The Steepwater Band took Goshen, Indiana on a beautiful journey through their musical talent this evening. Goshen's first. Sort of "The SteepGoshenWater Band" experience. This was also the second time that I saw the audience's eyes and ears glued to the stage. After The Steepwater Band's second song I heard someone behind me say, "Yea, there coming back."
One song, and one part of that song, The Steepwater Band really puts their talent down. That song is Shift, and the part is the song is when Jeff and Eric lay down identical notes in harmony with each other. That shift from individual talent to this combined masterpiece of play always blows me away.
Here are some photographs of the evening. Enjoy!
Wes, the lighting in there was difficult but I knew if anyone could handle it, you could. Bravo!! Your photographs are terrific. Thank you.
