Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 02/02-02/08

There was a moment last week at the Luca Fogale show where the entire front row seemed to have glistening cheeks. It was difficult not to be overwhelmed at the power and beauty of his music as Luca and his band played mostly new songs off the album Challenger, which was released that very night. But this is the kind of overwhelm I live for and there is nothing quite like group therapy in music form.

Up next we have the rescheduled Jacob Banks and a mini Truth & Salvage Co. reunion with Tim Jones of Whiskey Wolves of the West and Walker Young highlighting my music wish list.
