Heath Wright is one of many South Plains College, Commercial Music Department, graduates who have gone on to some big accolades.
As the lead singer in Ricochet, Heath has performed on some of the biggest stages in the country, as well as having numerous Country top-40, top-20, and top-10 hits, including a #1 hit, “Daddy’s Money”. He has also performed as lead singer in top band, Restless Heart.
Heath returned to West Texas to headline the 17th annual Scholarship Gala at South Plains College on Saturday February 28th, and thanks to our mutual friend Cary Banks, we have were given the opportunity to host a very special, intimate house concert for Heath on Friday February 27th! What a rare opportunity to be in this environment, face to face in our living room, with a performer who is at home headlining concerts for thousands of people.
In spite of the biggest snow of this year on the morning of the concert, a good-sized group of people braved the weather to enjoy an energetic performance by Heath, Cary Banks, and percussionist and vocalist Chris Hempfling. These three blended their talents beautifully!
