The Pavilion
From as early as I can remember, music and live performances have been apart of my life’s fabric. Up until I was about seven years old, every Sunday night during the summer season would be a closed out with a live performance at the beach pavilion, known to locals as “The PAV” with the sun slowly setting in the background. Those evenings were magical, listening to the music carried by the breeze, while the sky transformed with the colors of the setting Sun. I’d let my imagination weave stories, inspired by how the music and nature seemed to harmonize perfectly. Of all these performances I had seen, only one song really stuck with me, “Soul Man” by The Blues Brothers. Something about the horns coming in as a strong intro to the song, always felt like someone legendary was going to appear the same as a WWE wrestler making a surprise entrance. These were some of my favorite childhood memories growing up & I hope to come back to “The PAV” later in life with a big artist to give back and inspire the next generation.
