\nConcert For The Cause:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Featuring Carla Ayala and Jonathan Fleig<\/span><\/div>\n
Avenue A Park<\/span><\/div>\n
Hutchinson, KS<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a9 Lydia Lowe 2013<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Saturday’s concert took an interesting turn with a variety of different musical styles represented.\u00a0 There was hip-hop and rap provided by Skyylow, who had all ages on their feet and dancing in their seats.\u00a0 His tunes were irresistible and whether you had rhythm or not, on Saturday night it was hard to sit still.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Next up was The Guthrie Brothers Band.\u00a0 Primarily a Christian band, their style was a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll.\u00a0 A couple of their songs were familiar and some were not, but their music was a crowd pleaser.\u00a0 I’m sure they will be performing at a lot more locations around Hutchinson in the upcoming months.\u00a0 The crowd seemed to enjoy the constant change up of musical styles.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Back for a second week and after a grueling mini tour, The Soapbox Troubadors returned to the stage at Avenue A Park.\u00a0 Last Saturday, there was a song “Washed By The Water” that they played during their sound check that got lots of crowd pop, they played it during the concert and it got pop again.\u00a0 Saturday they played it once more and once again, crowd pop. This is an amazing song.\u00a0 I imagine it may be their signature song at some point because no concert featuring them should end before they play it.\u00a0 The Guthrie Brothers Band sang this very same song during their set.\u00a0 It was interesting to hear two different versions.<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then it was time for Carla Ayala to step on stage.\u00a0 Carla owned the stage.\u00a0 She sang soulful ballads while seated at the side of the stage, connecting intimately with the audience and then jumped up on stage for faster paced songs.\u00a0 She had incredible energy and range to her vocals.\u00a0 Her lyrics and music were spot on.\u00a0 The crowd had really settled in at this point and were very tuned in to the music, the overall stage performance, the whole experience of the evening.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jonathan Fleig wore two hats on Saturday.\u00a0 He performed as the sound engineer and the headliner.\u00a0 He made everyone’s music sound great.\u00a0 So, of course, when Fleig started his performance it was fitting that off in the distance there were the booms of fireworks.\u00a0 (By the way, I believe this was planned in advance.)\u00a0 Fleig’s music is just what it is.\u00a0 Jonathan puts it out there and the audience gets what it gets out of it.\u00a0 I’ve heard Fleig play several different places and I’m always amazed at the comments afterwards.\u00a0 One of his songs can mean so many different things to different people.\u00a0 That’s a gift very few performers have.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Salvation Army was the featured non-profit this week.\u00a0 Last week they raised close to $300.\u00a0 I was a little concerned this week that with a rival music event across town that the crowds might be smaller and that the charity featured might not raise much money.\u00a0 But there was no need to worry.\u00a0 The crowds were bigger this week than in weeks past and the Salvation Army did very well in their fund raising efforts.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 New acts are added to the card every week, so if you miss a week, you miss a lot.\u00a0 In the next few weeks, I have it on good authority that a 14 year old singing sensation will make her debut on the Avenue A Park stage.\u00a0 You’ll want to be there for that one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
