MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS – RICK CRAN

HIGHLIGHTS

Destiny has a way of putting you at the right place, at the right time.
Here are a few examples of those artists/bands that were so memorable, I’m still listening to their music today.

ROBERT PLANT

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA

Only one word to describe this concert and the opportunity to meet Robert Plant – EPIC! The man is bigger than life and changes the dynamics of a room when he walks in. He spoke like you knew him for a lifetime; casual, compassionate and interested in what you had to say. One cannot begin to explain that evening, but … it was unforgettable.

COLLECTIVE SOUL

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA
Outstanding musicians and a concert performed like they were giving it everything they had! The energy in the stadium was insane. When you hear 25,000 people singing parts of a song, you can attest to how that bands music impacts their fans. Great night and an awesome concert.

MATCHBOX TWENTY

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, USA
Imagine meeting a great band, months before hearing them on the radio locally and a year later all over the world. Well, I did. I met Matchbox Twenty, bought a CD from the band, in a club! That was a great night, not a big crowd, but the house was packed! The only regret, leaving my signed CD on my computer because only days later, it was stolen. Just goes to show how good their music is.

CHARLIE MAJOR

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA
There are some unique opportunities that can happen, this was one of them. It was at a music conference and Charlie Major was preforming a new single and we got to hear it for the very first time, days before it’s release. It was an incredible to see the emotion come through the performance because it was only Charlie, his guitar as he sat on a stood and gave a performance that has been the benchmark for me when I watch musicians without “all the gear”.
