Brilliant Musician! Bahamas at Park West (October 15, 2023)

A Bahamas concert is not just an audience watching a band perform. It is an interactive celebration of music. The band is fronted by the lead singer, Afie Jurvanen.

Midway into the set, he plays “Lost In The Light”. It’s a beautiful song that features his slick guitar playing along with the Felicity Williams’ magnificent voice, which is pure delight for the appreciative crowd. Afterwards, he says that his favorite part of the show is watching people dance to this song. It’s a tricky one to move to. He also says he wishes he wrote 10 songs just as good as this one. It could definitely be argued that he has.

Soon afterwards, they play “All The Time”. “I had all the time in the world; you wanted none of that.” Afie has captured that melancholy feeling perfectly with the tone of this song.

Alfie comments on how silly the encore process has become in that it is now expected. So, instead of going to stand over by the trash cans for a minute, he’ll just say “Goodnight” and the audience can pretend they left the stage. Sure enough, after the next song, he does this and it works like a charm. 

To close out the night, they play “Caught Me Thinkin’”. “Caught me thinking / What it might be like / To be alone for a while / Or alone for just one night”. This is a beautiful song that encapsulates his soft rock sound. This brilliant musician is a master of his craft and he puts on a fantastic show! Catch him live whenever you can!
