One of the best things about hosting these house concerts is all the friendships that have been born and strengthened through this experience.
This includes each of you who have attended these concerts and become either new friends or closer friends, and it also includes those musicians who have shared our time and space and food and drink, along with their music and personalities.
Our friend Washuntara is one of those special relationships. So when he completed his last concert of this tour and it was time to head back to California, he decided to take a little detour along the way to spend some time with us in Lubbock. This visit was not for the purpose of a concert, but since he was here anyway, he wanted to share our time and space by hosting an impromptu HubCityMusic.com house concert for all his friends and fans in Lubbock.
It was short notice, but all our friends who attended can attest that this was perhaps Washuntara’s best HubCityMusic.com house concert yet. Although a bit weary from his recent tour, he ended this chapter on a high note, literally , as his voice soared with an edge honed sharp from all the recent concerts, and his guitar work reflected a precision perfected by practice.
Having written literally hundreds of songs, Washuntara was able to pull out fresh material that we have never heard, as well as a few familiar favorites. And we were treated to the first-ever performance of a new song that he just wrote, ” Step Into The Sun”. Click the link below to see this awesome new song!
The result was an engaging performance that was decidedly low key and intimate, and yet full of energy. Here is what one attendee, Terry Johnston, wrote on her Facebook wall about this concert: “What an AWESOME Concert I went to last night!! WASHUNTARA did a house concert for HubCityMusic.com at Paul Johnson’s house. Washuntara is an Australian Singer/Songwriter and he is one of the BEST I’ve ever heard!” All we can add to that is a hearty “Amen!”
