Music is filling the air in Goodyear since the city’s sixth annual Spring Concert Series started March 11. “The concerts bring an opportunity for making new friendships at the parks, for enjoying the beautiful weather, listening to live music and bringing the community together,” said Deanna Ortiz, Goodyear’s recreation coordinator. The bands chosen to perform were selected by a committee, which was looking for specific genres, Ortiz said. The first band to kick off the series at Goodyear Community Park was the Pebble Rock Band, made up of four PebbleCreek residents who play hits from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. “We are all retired professionals,” said Steve Jensen, bass player in the Pebble Rock Band. “Two doctors, an engineer and a Coastguard guy, but we’ve all done music throughout our lives.” Pebble Rock Band has performed at numerous city events, and keeps playing in the West Valley because of the atmosphere, Jensen said. “They have a nice venue, it’s a nice event, it’s free for the community,” he said about the Spring Concert Series. “The community gets to come out and hear good music, and so it’s something that we enjoy and the community enjoys. It works out well for everybody.” The Pebble Rock Band members saw their March 11 performance as a great (USPS 004-616) is published weekly by West Valley View Inc. Mailing Address: 1050 E.

“Put on the best show. Make sure you’re well prepared. Go out and enjoy it and give the audience something to enjoy,” he said. The next band to hit the Goodyear stage on March 25 is SunKissed — three Buckeye sisters who perform past and current hits with instrumental twists, in addition to original music, said Kayli Sundin, 19, the band’s guitarist. “You’ll have the feeling of wanting to get up, dance and sing along,” Sundin said. Sundin and her sisters, Kari Sundin, 18, and Kassi Sundin, 14, have been playing together as a band for almost seven years. They all sing, while Kayli plays the guitar, Kari is on the violin and Kassi plays percussion, whether it’s a drum set or the cajón, a box-shaped percussion instrument. “Music is important to our family because it brings us together. We will always have music,” Kayli said. “Playing music together has helped us become who we are, playing in front of large crowds or even small crowds. Music has given us the confidence to get in front of people and speak out.” With one sister now attending Arizona State University, the band had to come up with a new style of practicing. “The first thing we do is make a set list,” Kari said. “We pick out the songs

we want to perform for a concert from our repertoire and then we time each song to make sure the songs we have picked will fill up how much time we are set to perform.” The sisters determine the set lists and songs weeks in advance since rehearsals are limited to weekends only, and they have to practice on their own the rest of the week, Kayli said. “We are most excited for having the opportunity to share our music with others and having a platform to express ourselves,” Kari said. Although March 25 is SunKissed’s first time performing at Goodyear’s Spring Concert Series, the band has played other city events. “Music is important to our community because it’s a universal language,” Kayli said. “We may speak different languages and come from different backgrounds, but everyone can get on the same page when music plays. It helps us create our story, share our experiences, cause certain emotions or speak certain ideas that we can all identify with. We hope that through our music that we will be a part of that story and create that experience — one that we all can share.” Keeping the beat The April 1 concert will feature New Destiny Band, which was created in the

late 1970s and plays a variety of music, including rock, country and R&B. “This is our first time to be part of the Goodyear concert series, and we are really looking forward to it,” said Mike Espinoza, the band’s original guitarist. “Concert-goers should plan to be on their feet dancing to the beat. All of us were born and raised in the West Valley, and our roots are deeply planted. We enjoy the opportunity to get out and engage with the community at these types of events. We have been very blessed over the years to have had the support of the community, and we are very grateful for the love they have shown us, which in turn has allowed us to do what we love most — play music and entertain.” New Destiny has opened for various performers in the past, such as Tower of Power, The Isley Brothers, War and DeBarge and Tierra, Espinoza said, adding that the band’s most recent performance was at the Sundance Film Festival in Fort Worth, Texas. “Because we have been together so long and are so in sync, we can literally independently learn new songs and run through them together just a couple of times to put it all together,” Espinoza said. “Back in the day, we met at [drummer] Gary’s house a couple of times a week and practiced till the wee hours of the morning. Technology has changed all that, but we still enjoy time together to just jam.” The final performance in the series will be Highway 85 on April 15, which plays

a variety of dance music, including popular country and rock hits. “There’s nothing like performing for a live audience — that is where our real pleasure is at,” drummer Jim Bates said. The band is made up of four Buckeye multi-instrumentalists, including female and male lead vocalists, Bates said. Female vocalist Brenda Rhodes is married to bass player Keith Rhodes. “Having a husband and a wife playing in the same band always makes it fun,” Bates said. Highway 85 often performs at weddings, so having people get up and dance is the band’s standard, Bates said. “If they’re not up and dancing, then they’re sitting there singing the songs along with the band and dancing with their hands,” he said. All concerts begin at 7 p.m. at Goodyear Community Park, 3151 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. Parking and admission are free. Take lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. “[The concerts provide] an opportunity for a family-friendly, free concert with beautiful weather in your community where you can enjoy a picnic dinner on a blanket, sit in a lawn chair or dance the night away,” Ortiz said.
