Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/12-2/18

Listening to Morgxn’s new album, Beacon, after his glorious return to Los Angeles at the Hotel Cafe Saturday night. It was one of those shows where the rapt crowd was one with the artist, crying or singing along in multi-part harmonies.  Everyone left feeling a bit more connected, both to those around them and to themselves.

I can’t imagine a better Valentine than a Morgxn show, but next week being the actual holiday we’ll continue to feel the love with Bailen, Rooney and friends, Ber and more:
