7th Annual Harvest Moon House Concert

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR EFFORTS to bring great music in a wonderful atmosphere to Lubbock!

Because of the cold, windy weather and threat of rain, our good friends Van and Leslie Shaw generously offered to let us move this 9th Annual Harvest Moon concert from our back yard to Uncle Bill’s Music Barn, located behind their house. It’s such a great venue for this type event, and as a result we were able to accommodate a significantly larger audience than if we had moved the concert from our backyard to the family room inside our home. Thanks Van and Leslie!

Our 9th Annual Harvest Moon Concert was held Friday September 21, 2018, and a wonderful time was had by all.

It’s hard to believe this was our 9th Annual Harvest Moon Concert! It marks an anniversary of sorts for Claire and Paul, as the first one was about the one-year mark from when we started dating. Who knew that all these years later, we would be married and still celebrating love and life with our friends every Harvest Moon?!

And, of course, it wouldn’t be the same without another outstanding performance by our dear friends Mike Pritchard and Mark Wallney, who got this whole thing started in the first place with their better-than-original performances of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon”, which they would always play with a dedication to Claire every time Claire and Paul went on a date anywhere Mike and Mark were playing. Their performance of this romantic and seasonally appropriate song sets the stage for a relaxing evening of undeniable musical and vocal talent.

So here we are at our 9th annual celebration of life, love, and friends, at the time of each fall’s Harvest moon – the full moon closest to the Autumnal equinox. Often, the harvest moon seems to be bigger or brighter or more colorful than other full moons, so it’s a great time to enjoy a romantic concert.

And it marks the beginning of the change of seasons, reminding us of the passing of time, and how important it is to share our time with those we love. There are a lot of special things about this 9th Annual Harvest Moon concert. Considering that our very first Harvest Moon concert was a surprise party for Claire, it’s nice how things have come full circle.

As with all of our previous Harvest Moon concerts, this concert played to a SOLD OUT audience.

Thanks to all who shared this special evening with us!
