What an amazing concert this was! Junior and Mickey set the most intimate mood,
and the songs were amazing! Even the most loyal Junior Vasquez fans have never
heard a concert like this one!
Well-known musician Junior Vasquez has spent the past year or so writing a cache of all-new original music. Before considering a second CD of all-original music, Junior has been looking for just the right venue to introduce this all-new original music to his fans.
So for Junior Vasquez, HubCityMusic.com’s House Concert format is just the right environment at just the right time.
“It’s a musician’s dream,” Junior says, “an intimate environment without the smoky, noisy distractions of the bar scene. A place where both the audience and musician can be comfortable.”
Junior will be introducing not only all-new original music in his June 17th house concert in Paul Johnson’s home, he will also be performing original tunes from his first CD, “It’ll Turn Around”. (available on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/itll-turn-around/id359346482)
He will also be sharing the back-story behind each song. It’s an opportunity to get to know Junior at a personal level, to hear the life-stories that have brought him to this new musical beginning, after having traveled such a long and winding road to get here. For Junior Vasquez, these original songs have come from a fresh creativity and enthusiasm, and mark a contrast to the homogenous “standards” that the usual venues in the Lubbock scene seem to demand.
Of course, with two sets to fill, there will still be a place in this concert for some of Junior’s favorite covers to be woven in with his original songs.
“I’m really excited about this opportunity to introduce this new, original music in this environment,” says Junior. “This will be the first time this music has been played in public, so not only is this a great opportunity for me, it’s a great opportunity for people to hear my new music for the first time.”
BYOB – complimentary Hors D’oeuvres will served between sets.
