Well, I had the good fortune to see two amazing shows this week! I’m still in a tizzy over one of them in particular because I was not expecting to be as floored as I was. On Friday I hopped over to Pour House to see an awesome full band Creature & The Woods set. I found out about it at the last minute through an instagram post and I’m so happy I made it out. There were lots of friends and familiar faces and that made it all the better.
The second show was Aaron Tveit at the House of Blues. It was everything and nothing like I expected it to be. There was a mash up of Braodway tunes, 80s hits, Queen, and girl pop. The whole thing lasted an hour and a half but did not seem to go nearly long enough. I came out of that show completely buzzing and between the double whammy of good music, I’m still abuzz.
This week, I head up to LA to see You Me At Six (!!!) but there’s lots to get you through down here too!
