Lubbock is seeing great success with a new innovative concept taken upon by well known Lubbock musician Junior Vasquez. Junior's new Listening Room event is hosted each Thursday by Caprock Winery and has just completed its third week.

Each week has overwhelmingly attended, and actually the first week left many guests out of the listening room due to standing room only. (but, it was ok, there was wine and a great patio party atmosphere) Those inside, embraced the intimate atmosphere that the listening room offers between them and the performers.

Rather than being overwhelmed with the ambiance of a nightclub or club, the listening room offers the opportunity to be engaged with the musicians and their personal written material. The concept is the same as a house concert, taken on successfully by Paul Johnson of Hub City Music. 

Junior and his wife Miki perform the first set with a wide range of acoustic music, then they introduce their featured artist to finish out the evening. Sometimes they join in and create something new and exciting.

The first week's guests were Andy Wilkerson and his daughter Emily. The next week Kenny Mains hosted the night due to Junior's prior commitment. Kenny performed his personal favorites then he introduced Ronnie Eaton, an award winning song writer and performer. This past week's guest artist was Caleb Jude Green.

Next Thursday May 21st for "Music Meets Wine" Justin Robinett and Jenni Dale Lord will be Junior's esteemed guests. They are two more of Lubbock's rising stars. The Food Trucks start serving at 6pm, Music starts at 7pm and goes till 9pm.

And did I mention great wine as well? Now - add a different food truck each week serving delicious food and it's worth a little country drive to 408-E. Woodrow Rd, for Junior's Listening Room.
