Concert Throwback: Declan McKenna

Since I just reviewed Declan McKenna’s newest musical release, Zeroes, I figured I’d throw it back to the time I got to see him live! And at an incredibly tiny, local venue for that matter! Bliss. This guy is a true talent for his youth and I enjoyed every second of the performance. Even my friend who I dragged along with me had a great time! Once we’re out of this quarantine hell, go catch him in concert!

Concert Throwback: Phantogram

These past couple weeks I’ve been jamming almost non-stop to Phantogram. If you follow me anywhere on my socials, and even here, I’m sure you already know that I really like them a lot. They are one of the few bands I’ve seen in multiple states (on purpose), and they are truly amazing live (and recorded, obviously). My first opportunity to see them was in Pittsburgh, and I’ve also seen them in Cleveland, Columbus, and Las Vegas at the Life if Beautiful festival. Each time was fantastic, but at the Pittsburgh show my friend and I were able to snag the front row and it was fabulous! I was also introduced to another great band at that show called Jagwar Ma (check them out!!). The Columbus show was also really memorable because I snagged a setlist and was able to meet the band and gift them with a drawing! One of my favorite concert moments of all time hands down.

Award Season: American Music Awards

Just like the People’s Choice Awards, the American Music Awards really aren’t that much better. They are both voted on by the fans, but the nominees are obvious and repetitive among so many categories. Despite me not being a huge fan of top 40 music, I was pretty entertained by the musical performances, and there were a ton of them!
