I
wrote Monday about "crashing" the Class of '89 reunion. Among the
many good parts of that reunion was the music, and I wanted to write a little
about that.
The
band booked at B3 that night was Hyatus. They are primarily a cover band,
though there might have been some original material later, or they sang songs I
didn't recognize.
Hyatus
had a wide repertoire of songs from our youth, and did a good job with them. I
can see them doing well at lots of different types of events. There were a few
things that they did to bring people more into the performance. One was traveling
the space, with guitar players walking through the dance floor, circling
tables, and keeping things lively in that way. I made a joke about a walking
bass line, but I think it was only 6-strings who did it.
The
other thing they did for audience involvement was to invite people up to sing
with them. There is no way that they could have predicted getting Candy.
Candy
Wilson (formerly Freeman) is an Aloha Class of '89 alum, and she is a singer
and songwriter. And she has an amazing voice. Hyatus kept calling her back, and
it really did add to the fun.
I
do have one point of disagreement. At one point the band said something about
her having the voice of an angel. I get it. Her voice is beautiful and she was
dressed in ethereal white. Still, there is something a little more earthy than
angelic about her voice. I think she might be up for some deviltry, is all I'm
saying.
I
am treating the two together because right now there is not a lot of
information on either. Both Candy and Hyatus have Facebook pages, and Candy has
some Youtube videos of her performing at the fair, but should be releasing an
album soon.
Great
night everyone!
