Soundings event feedback: Woods Tea Company, Aug. 29
Question: Music is a form of communication. What did tonight’s performance communicate to you?

“Tonight’s music communicated many thoughts and feelings. The tone of the voices and the instruments sometimes sounded lively and happy. Other times the feelings were sad and mournful, especially in “There Were Roses.” There was deep joy in the song written for the grandchild born in Paris. There was an overall feeling of profound friendship shared by the band and pride they all held in each other’s talent. I felt very relaxed and peaceful and enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere and lovely music.
Larina Steinke

“The music played tonight had many different ideas and themes. First off the Irish and Scottish based music rang close to my heart because I am Irish and Scottish. It was beautifully crafted and made me feel as though I was there. One really got a sense of the different musicians’ personalities. The song towards the end, ‘December Child,’ was very moving and really gave me a warm sense of family–you could tell that he is a great dad and leader.”
Lindsey Lyle

“The Woods Tea Company is to manufactured popular music as a winding country road is the freeway.”
Brad Lussier

“It was fun. I would like to set up a dance floor and some strobe lights.”
Ken Murakami
