I had the pleasure of watching my first Stageit concert last week and it was an awesome one. Stageit provides live broadcasts of performers and you get a front row seat right to watch it all without even leaving your house. It was a great experience and even more so since it was Will Turpin and The Way performing the complete song list from The Lighthouse as well as a couple extra surprises. Will Turpin, known for being the amazing bassist for one of my favorite rock bands, Collective Soul. I have probably seen Collective Soul over 25 times and I look forward to many more shows of theirs in the future.
With Will’s solo project, he embarks on a journey of incredible song writing and plays multiple instruments and vocals. His style reminds me of Ben Folds, Jason Mraz, and Paul Simon. He in no way imitates since his own style is a fusion of all the best and he is truly a talented musician that shines through his music. It is wonderful to see him as the frontman of the band and deliver such amazing and touching vocals.
With Will Turpin providing the keyboards and vocals, you also have the collective talent of his band to include Jason Fowler on guitar and vocals, Scott Davidson on drums and Calvin Kelley on percussion. Together they were just plain magnificient and you can see that they are just having as much fun as we were. The performance was professionally done and they really put a lot of attention to detail even providing the drum sound shield, band placement, etc. They put a lot of attention to detail in their performance and it was appreciated by all. From what I have heard about other StageIt performances, sometimes the sound quality is all determined by the band setup, cameras, etc. Their entire concert provided the studio quality sound in an intimate environment. It was as if we were right there with them in the room.It was great to be able to interact with the other viewers as well. I am hoping Will has more shows planned so we can all make sure to watch. How about checking out their performance of “One and Done” at the Park Tavern which sounds so good!
Right now, the band is completing their first full-length CD, Serengeti Drivers, which is set to release in Spring 2013. We will keep you updated as to exact release dates. For now, make sure to head over to Itunes or Will Turpin’s bandcamp page to purchase The Lighthouse. Also be sure to follow and like Will’s social media pages so you can stay up to date and know firsthand of the next performance they will have. I don’t want you to miss it!
~ Enjoy, Marisol
