Dyer Highway

I know it's been awhile since I've written.
I've been meaning to share my new find, Dyer Highway.
I've been so excited to write about them, but every time I try to I have no words.
So I will stutter and stumble through this and hope it conveys what I feel.
Sometimes things are felt with the heart and nearly impossible to say with words.

On December 19, 2011 my family and I went to Wheeler Farm to see a Charley Jenkins concert.
The excitement in the air was tangible and I knew something great was about to take place.
The concert was in the barn, it was comfy cozy, and since it was a Christmas concert I couldn't help but think about the birth of Christ.
He was born in a stable and I thought the setting of the concert was perfect.
The lights dimmed and the first band was announced.
Dyer Highway, a young family band from Delta Utah.
I sat back in  my chair ready to take it all in.
Tel Dyer (lead singer and guitarist) and his sister's Tiann Dyer (bass)  and Mady Dyer (fiddle) started singing acapella.
Their voices mixed perfectly. I was instantly intrigued.
I was no longer relaxing in my chair, I was sitting on the edge of my seat and smiling.
I couldn't stop.

Good sound and good lyrics make a band good.
What takes a band beyond being good is if they can create emotion in their listeners.
If you can make the people in the crowd feel something you're golden and you've done your job as an artist.
This band did just that.
They are better than good; they are what Country music is all about.
I was blown away with their performance.

Tiann Dyer shredded the fiddle.
She was truly amazing; there is no other way to say it.
She has a beautiful voice that is captivating; I could have listened to them play for hours.
At the young age of 16 she has the opportunity to play with Charley Jenkins band.

Mady Dyer is 14 and played the bass.
She was a ton of fun to watch.
She had a spunky personality that seeped through onto the stage with her performance.

Tel Dyer is 19 and is a phenomenal entertainer.
Being an entertainer is more than singing a few songs to some people and calling it good.
It is making the audience feel like they are a part of something more.
Making them feel included, which he did with his witty comments and fun presence.
I had the chance to meet him and shake his hand after the show; he was a real gentleman and very kind.

The Dyer's are all very talented and I believe they're going places with their music.
Join me and jump on the fan wagon.

Again my words do no justice...
