Blowin in the Wind from the upper deck of the Canyon, DestiNY USA
Great acts are hard to follow, especially a well-loved band like Blowin’ in the Wind. The band played a Concert in the Canyon (DestiNY USA) last week to the delight of hundreds of their fans, shoppers and visitors to the area who poured into the mall. The acoustics weren’t the best, but everyone seemed to have a blast. Highlights of the show included a salute to military personnel and Charity for Children, Inc., a magical Michael Jackson montage (led by Eric Blackwell) and a public performance of the new DestiNY USA theme song.
Blowin’ was also joined for this gig by ultra-talented Dequan Bowens (aka Killer Keys),who we’ve seen jam with many local bands over the past few years.
It’s great to see a hard-working band get some more exposure and build their fan base. We’re not sure who the next schedule group to play the canyon will be, but Blowin’ has set a high standard.
Packed house.
