Valentines weekend was a fabulous success! My parents came into town for the long weekend and we had the opportunity to take them to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center to see Wynonna Judd in concert. Here is how it went down...
My office has been offering concert series packages for our top clients at the Schermerhorn this year. The valentines weekend package was set for an evening for Kenny Rogers which everyone was super excited about. However, at the last minute Kenny got sick so they had to find a quick replacement. You guessed it... Wynonna stepped in. A lot of our clients were pretty disappointed so they gave up their tickets. So, taking advantage of a free show, I grabbed a set of 4 and planned our evening.
It goes without saying that many of the patrons that did not hear about the cancelation were pretty disappointed when they arrived at the Symphony Hall that night. But, the Symphony Hall itself is gorgeous so many of them decided to stay despite their disappointment and good for them because it ended up being a phenomenal show!
Wynonna took the stage with complete control, understanding that many of the people in attendance were expecting someone else. She commanded the audience and truly gave everyone in the building the time of their lives. The show stopper for me would have to be "Is It Over Yet", a very dramatic song written by longtime songwriter Steve Dorff. She was funny, witty, and just plain lovable and her voice was the icing on the cake. The line up featured songs like "Ain't No Sunshine", "At Last", "I Can Only Imagine", and "I Wanna Know What Love Is" giving the night a little something for everyone. Wynonna's vocal range was very impressive and her versatility was a strength she played to. All in all I think everyone left a big fan... I know I did!
