You mention John Gorga. He was here in our little burg a couple of years ago and I got to meet him. What a great guy. Really regular. No pretenses at all. He told everybody how much fun he always has when he comes to Moab.
But the concert to end all concerts here was David Wilcox. If you haven't given Dave a listen, I suggest you do. Best story teller this side of Gord in my opinion. He blew the doors off the concert hall here. People are still talking about that concert. My best friend ran the sound that night and has a DAT tape of the concert which he guards with his very life. We gave it a listen last week to see if two years had taken the edge off. NO WAY!!!
Also, Moab is home to Cozy Sheridan. Here is somebody else that deserves a listen. She is magnificent. She is totally broad spectrum. Her funny songs are very original and include subjects from trying to retrieve the two week old banana from the back seat of the car while drive between gigs, to the delicate handling of the rigors of feminine yeast infections. Her serious stuff deals with subjects like sexual abuse to The Course In Miracles.
It only points up the fact that this little town, has more talent than is decent. It's turned into an artists community, where they all come to create and tour from here.
Come to my town and see what I'm talking about.
