Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 12/30-1/5

Happy New Year!! I can’t believe another year has already come and gone. This year has been filled with new friends, major highs, some definite lows, more crying than I’d like to admit, great concerts, unexpected surprises, and a whole new version of myself. A friend of mine asked if I’d change anything or do anything different and I can honestly say no. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead next year and I hope you all feel the same.

I wish I were in the Philadelphia area this week for the return of one of my absolute favorite bands. Philly legends, Jealousy Curve, are taking the stage for the first time in nearly 8 years at Ardmore Music Hall on December 26^th for what will surely be a night to remember. They have been teasing new music and I am having a very hard time acknowledging that I will not be there to hear it live for the first time.
