PUEBLO, Colo.—Randy Bennett blended a few original songs with some covers, on Oct. 17. He was the opening act, along with Black List Books. The Redheads Britta-N-Brooke was the direct support and The Widowhood Effect was the headliner.
Bennett provided vocals and played the guitar.
After the venue’s announcer had announced Bennett’s name, he made his way onto the stage. After adjusting his seat closer to the microphone, he began his performance with Ron Pope’s “If You Were A Stone”.
Upon readjusting Bennett’s guitar and placing the capo at the head of his guitar, he received a round of applause and continued his recital by covering Seether’s “The Gift”. During the song, he transitioned from passive to aggressive with his vocals and strums.
Prior to the start of “Be Near”, Bennett noticed a familiar face in the crowd. The spectator and he spoke briefly. The audience member apologized for being a little late and finished by saying he had finally arrived. After completing the conversation, he continued on with his concert.
Bennett continued his performance by performing “Change Me”, after he had a change of heart for another song. For his first choice, he said he would attempt to try his best and to see what would happen. He stopped during the instrumental of his original choice, spoke of his displeasure of how it sounded and how he would change it up.
While Bennett performed “Change Me”, the vibration of the sound on the stage caused the slanted and top-heavy microphone stand to fall towards him. Keeping his composure and remaining professional, he powered through the mishap. While he did so, the house announcer ran up the ramp to readjust it. The onlooker who spoke to him ran from the back, hurdled his way over the wooden barricade near the front of the stage and assisted the house announcer.
Mayday Parade’s “Your Song” brought an end to Bennett’s showcase, after the same spectator made a request for his last song and declined his request. Prior to reciting the song, Bennett admitted to the audience how he feared how the song would turn out but he continued to go forth. He began his finale with an instrumental and sang his last song. After the song came to an end, he received another set of applause. After he was reintroduced by the house announcer, he received one last set of applause.
