Walking On Water - The Band

I attended a concert by a band called Walking on Water this evening. One of the band players is a talented, charismatic friend from our small group. She is only 26, and has been working as a full time musician for a number of years. She plays for a local celebrity who found international fame, but at the same time holds her own concerts where she plays 3 types of instruments and sings to Jazz, R&B, Rap & Rock.

While Walking on Water consists of 4 members where the drummer is the leader, I'm decidedly biased and think that my friend is the most talented, and has the most potential, among all of them. All four members are amazingly talented. And all show true mettle & character. But for me, my friend has this quality of strength around her, the X factor that differentiates the true star from among performers. If she read what I were writing now, she would be greatly uncomfortable as she is such a humble, down to earth gal. But that is truly what I think, and look forward to where her talents will bring her.

Tonight is the "last" concert for them as one of their members is leaving for a 2 year study program in Perth. As such, without a bassist, they are still trying to figure out what their next steps will be. The 4 of them have great chemistry, and it will not be easy to replace her. Which precisely makes up their theme tonight - Walking on Water - into faith. Tonight, their repertoire consisted of original songs written and arranged by themselves - every single song. And all of them are R&B & rock gospel songs. First ever concert that I have attended on such a theme. After tonight, I am a true convert to their band and wish them all the best - no matter what the future holds!
