Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, fur children included! I’m currently sitting with my dog next to me after a chill day at the barn. It seems like I’ve been running around too much but if you ask me what I’ve been doing, I’m not sure I could give you an answer. I’m trying to take it easy this week with a trip to Disneyland thrown in for fun. Music-wise, I’ve mostly been planning out my October since a ton of bands announced good things. Meanwhile in May…

This week I attended a different kind of show, I went out and saw a friend perform a show at her aerial studio. There were people on ropes, silks, hammocks, trapeze, and so much more! It had a wild west theme so there was some good country music thrown in there. It was a fun experience and a nice break from the usual music scene. This week, I might try and brave the crowd to see Hunter Hayes. He’s on my country music list. We’ll see if I have the tolerance for drunk people or not come Wednesday.

This week, I ventured to Brick by Brick for the first time in my entire life to see Every Avenue. I recently discovered them thanks to a Tidal mix and the band had been on hiatus for 10+ years, until now. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to see them, and while I hadn’t been waiting as long as some fans in the crowd, I still had a great time. The rest of my week and weekend was entirely too short and I’m feeling exhausted for a Sunday but, c’est la vie.

This has been a truly amazing weekend. It reminded me of the community and friendships that music is capable of creating and how it can bring people together from all over with one goal, to share in a moment, an experience, something so unique and memorable that is not likely to be forgotten.

But now it’s time to look at what’s on the horizon for this week. Lots of exciting options!
