Recreating a 1994 George Strait concert
- Derek Spense channels icon Sept. 11 at The Bender -
Imagine performing on stage in Kansas City in front of 25,000 screaming, adoring high school kids. And you are only 18 years old.
“We rocked the house that night,” recalled Derek Spense, “and that was a change maker for me. Up to that point, I hadn’t really taken my music seriously, but think of it, 25,000 kids screaming at you. You are 18. You are the center of attention. You want to do this forever.”
