Starting
us off on the Long Road to awakening is Minnesota-based musician, singer and
songwriter Chastity Brown with the soulful bluesy roots rock title song to her
2014 album “Long Way”. Our journey begins by revisiting the past where
experience and memory can well up over each mile travelled back in time…it’s a
long way, but a necessary journey to help clarify life going forward.
Following Chastity Brown is
UK legend Eric Burdon with “27 Forever” taken from his 2013 album “Til Your
River Runs Dry” A conscious conversation with ones self looking back in time
with what would have been if we had taken the other path at the fork in the
road. Eric Burdon bares his soul in 27 Forever.
Detroit’s
own, Michael on Fire follows with “Cadillac Beach” taken from his 2014 album
“The Artist, the Dreamer. The Lover and the Fool”.
Cadillac
Beach, is beautifully expressed through poetic lyric and soothing acoustic
guitar reminding us to appreciate life because it can change in an instant and
leave us with unforgettable, painful moments. Wise words to remember when
running around at 200 miles an hour trying to check off all the things on an
endless to do list. Don’t miss out on what’s really important…
Burlap to Cashmere closes the
set with the title track to their 1998 album “Anybody Out There” an empathic
song of reflection and awakening as one finds themselves alone in searching for
answers to life. A powerful moment on our long road.
And
so, we begin a mindful journey to overcome the hurdles of life on the road to
clarity, and all through the best music of today, on the minstral show.
SET: 02
Chris
de Burgh starts off the second set with “Waiting for the hurricane” taken from
his 2012 album “Home”
“Waiting
for the hurricane” is a robust, energetic filled song that lifts the adrenalin
levels, much the same way his classic tune, “Don’t pay the Ferryman” does. The
energy and flow reminds us that, sometimes in life, there’s no escaping the
storms that come our way, and so the best thing to do is brace yourself and
stand up for what’s to come.
Following
Chris de Burgh is Steve Hackett with the title track to his 2015 album “Wolflight”
“Wolflight”
is a song that tells of community’s endless fight for survival from sinister
forces while trying to preserve our existence. We stand our ground and fight
back for our very survival…and its at this point where the awakening grows
exponentially…a great tune by Steve Hackett and band.
Following Steve Hackett is
“Different Light” from the Czech Republic with “In Love and War” taken from
their 2016 Album “The Burden of Paradise” The song takes us through the
aftermath of battles fought and down the emotional road that is left in their
wake, to confront, the memories that have become scars in the game of love and
war.
And so, we brace for the
hurricanes that descend onto us in life and battle enemy forces to win our
freedom, on the Minstral show.
SET: 03
Leading off the third set is Matthew
Perryman Jones with the title track to his 2015 album “Cold Answer”. Poetic
lyrics describe feelings of being spiritually grounded, when waking up in the
middle of a war and seeing for the first time the cold reality of wars purveyors.
Great empathic music by Matthew Perryman Jones
Deep
Purple follows with “Blood from a Stone” taken from their 2013 album “Now
What!?”
The
peoples voice screams out in this song by Deep Purple as the community is
always under attack by economic predators that often call themselves our
governments. An excellent blues tune that packs a lotta truth.
Dream
Theater closes the set with “Our New World” taken from their 2016 album “The
Astonishing”
Hope
cries out to build a new World, one that’s better and made for all and not just
the few. And all we have to do, to make our dreams a reality, is to just go out
and make it happen. The world is ours to build, and so freedom awaits in “Our
New World”…a great tune to unite people in creating a better world.
