Due West


Last night I went to a musical performance at the tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

It was spectacular.

Billy Dean, Thurl Bailey, Due West, Nashville Tribute Band, David Osmond, and many others sang and shared their musical talents.

I met a wonderfully kind woman there, her name was Nancy and she introduced me to the members of the Due West band.

They were so kind and humble.

I love their music.

Matt Lopez is from Wyoming and his song writing abilities helped him break into the the music business. He helped write the song "Love's Lookin' Good on You", which the popular Country band Lady Antebellum picked up.

Brad Hull's roots are in Arizona. He started learning to play the guitar when he was eleven years old. He studied the music business a lot and learned what to look for in a songwriter and about songs and how they make money.

Tim Gates was born and raised in Utah. He started out as a social worker and made his way into the music business. He feels that music is another way he can help people.

They all work hard on their music, and they bring real emotions to the people who listen to them.

I, personally, go my first laugh line last night. I didn't stop smiling the whole time they were on stage.

Help support them in their endeavor.
