Joshua Creek

writes music about faith, love and family with a decidedly country feel. They are tight performers with a show that is a nice blend of their original music with a friendly, humorous discourse with the audience. Some of the three-part vocal harmonies could have used some tightening up, but other than that it was an excellent concert and the audience was obviously having a blast.

The set included music from their first two albums:

• Life’s Like That - a catchy celebration of the random bad and good events that just seem to crop up in life. I’ve heard this before on the radio.
• A sentimental song about a quilt patched together from the silk of a wedding dress, the denim from grandpas dungarees, etc.
• Honey Do List - a humorous, good-natured look at all the things our wives would like us to do after hours.
• Mary You Again - probably one of the most poignant love ballads ever written for married people. I’ve heard this on the radio and in the bookstore and I can’t help but get emotional when I listen to it.
• She’s my Everything - another song I’ve heard before, nice up-beat love song.
• What Kind of Car - I find it amazing that a group of LDSs from Utah could have a number one song on southern country Christian radio for 2 months, but this is that song. Very funny, but also has a kind of undeniable logic to it, concluding that Jesus would choose a pick up truck.
• Chart a Course/Set me Free - strong folk rock inspirational tune.
• I Love You Son - this song has been around for quite a while, I heard it years ago at an LDS musicians fest. It is a great song that you just have to listen to in order to feel the poignancy in it. I won’t try to describe it here.
• Encore : Sand Lot Stadium - fun.
• . . . and more.

Dixie and I had a great time. Check them out at their website to see where they’re playing next.
