I’m not sure that I’m going to handle this review the same way that I have my previous music reviews. I think I would prefer to give credit to the people who played and quick kudos and thanks for the music. The show Saturday night at Bend Studio was a little bit different because it wasn’t just a show, it was a tribute to a friend of Bend Studio who recently passed. So this show was about more than just the music and I don’t want to detract from that.
If Ally or anyone else would like to elaborate on Anju, please do so in the comments of this post. I was not fortunate enough to know her; all I know is that she was a friend of the studio and a tremendous supporter to the artists. Ally put together a bill of three of her favorite performers to come and play “Anju’s Dream Bill”.
The show opened with Salim Nourallah , followed by Kacy Crowley, and concluded by Billy Harvey. All three performs entertained the crowed as they shared their craft. The audience requested songs, sang along, snapped on queue, and had a fantastic evening listening to the dream bill. Salim made sacrifices of his own just to be there (including the promise of sleep), while Kacy proved that big voices hide in little women, and Billy Harvey kept the crowd smiling with his music and his antics. I enjoyed the night very much, and I think that the show achieved its purpose of celebrating the life of a friend who has passed with music and friends.
