anthony green commands summit music hall 1

When entering the Summit Music Hall on Friday, I knew that I was in for a treat. With Anthony Green known for his untouchable stage presence and two impressive recent releases from both of the opening acts, my expectations were set pretty high, and from the moment I walked in the venue, the sense of camaraderie between the each musician on the tour and all the fans in the room was like nothing I had ever experienced before.

Probably because of the simplicity instrumentally and vocally, but in all honesty there is no way you that can’t get lost in it.
