Danny Gokey and members of his band performed an impromptu acoustic concert livestreamed by Boston country radio station WKLB Country 102.5 earlier this week. Danny had come to Boston to headline an open-air concert at Boston City Hall Plaza, closing out Boston Mayor Menino’s 2010 Concert Series.
When weather-related safety issues required cancellation of the outdoor public event, Danny performed six songs on a WKLB livecast and was interviewed throughout his set. Among newsworthy items, Danny shares that he is now house-hunting in Nashville, and relates a childhood anecdote that may be rather disturbing to Smurf fans :shock:
Danny also discusses performing Tuesday for the fourth time at the Grand Ole Opry, and being invited to sing two songs that same evening at a special gala event honoring Wynonna Judd. Wynonna was the first secular artist Danny listened to at home as a youth.
“There was electricity in the air as Danny Gokey sang to Wy, one of his idols, and a lump in the throats of the audience throughout the evening as we had the honor of celebrating one of Nashville and the world’s most beloved stars, this time not for her one of a kind talent, but for her one of a kind heart, ” said event Chairperson Pamela Davis Needham.”
