As I slowly build back up to my regularly scheduled concert program, I have been reminded of all the amazing things that come with live music and discovering new artists and songs in the live setting. On the eternal quest to see your next favorite band for the first time, however, you end up seeing…a lot of bands that will not become your next favorite. I was reminded of that particular joy last week, but honestly, I’ve never been so happy to sit in the back of the room listening to a band I never need to see again.
Next week brings with it some very special shows, including the one and only Frank Turner coming all the way from England to play The Echo and a mid-week trip to San Diego to see Dear Boy!
