LUBBOCK TEXAS REVIEW

Anthony Kearns April 25, 2003, Lubbock, TX Concert


On the night of April 25th, 2003, in Lubbock, Texas greatness was witnessed by over 800 grateful fans...




A few months ago, Lynn Kennedy asked me to write a review for her website after Anthony's concert here in Lubbock, TX. I was honored that she asked me but felt that I should decline because I know there are others out there who are more qualified than me to write reviews of Anthony's concerts.

But, I feel as if I should take some time to express to all of you what a truly magnificent performance this young and gracious talent by the name of Anthony Kearns delivered to our town last evening.




The list of songs he performed consisted of some of his usual ones and some new ones which were all breathtaking, sending chills from head to toe at times, bringing tears to my eyes as well as others and plenty of joy to our hearts...bringing the audience to their feet many times, and leaving us wanting more.

It was truly a night that I, my family, friends, and his fans will not soon forget.

I cannot, unfortunately, tell you each song that he and Patrick Healy, another true and genuine, gentle man, performed but I can tell you that they are songs I pray we will be fortunate enough and privileged enough to hear him sing many, many more times in years to come.

If anyone reading this can ever in their lifetime find a way to see clear a chance to attend one of Anthony Kearns' concerts do so for I can promise you, you will forever remember this magnificently, hauntingly beautiful, and purest voice ever. He is truly a "Tenor of Our Time" and we are most thankful that he was able to come to Lubbock, Texas and we are proud to have him as an "Honorary Citizen" of our town.
