Music Monday

Last Thursday night Heather and I saw Joshua Radin at the Knitting Factory. See Heather's post here. It was amazing and we had a great spot front and center! His music is amazing and I'm so happy I got to see him perform. It was also great to see and MEET(!!!) Laura Jansen (FINALLY- see my first blog post) and Cary Brothers. Here's a music video by each of them.

Joshua Radin: I'd Rather Be With You


Laura Jansen: Wicked World


Cary Brothers: Ghost Town

Music Monday: Andrew Belle

If you haven't checked out Andrew's music yet then get on it! He's pretty awesome and seems like a down-to-earth guy. It was great to see him perform last Wednesday at The Knitting Factory. I knew Tyrone was going to be in town but didn't actually find out until the night before that Andrew was opening for him. It was a wonderful surprise!

Music Monday: Tyrone Wells

Heather walked into our room last Tuesday night and was like "Heyyyy, Tyrone Wells just tweeted that he needs merch help tomorrow night." I was like, "Um, what's the email address?" So I emailed that night and got a response on Wednesday saying that they'd love our help. We left work early because I (stupidly) scheduled two photoshoots for school that afternoon. We got home I did one shoot, took a 30 minute nap, showered, did another photoshoot, ate dinner and then we headed downtown to The Knitting Factory.

We had a fabulous time! We'd never seen Tyrone before because the timing was never right. He is amazing to see live and tells some great stories. His voice is incredible; it's so smooth and it just cuts right through you. You just want to wrap yourself in his music. We were able to meet him afterwards and he was sooo nice! We were also able to meet his drummer and tour manager, Mark, who set us up at the merch table. It's great meeting genuine people who are doing what they love. Enjoy this video of Sea Breeze (one of my fav songs) and be sure to check out his website for more of his music!

P.S. Tyrone and his wife, Elina just released an album called Different As Can Be, and it's absolutely adorable. Like, so cute and barfy that it physically hurts. Their relationship is beautiful and one that I dream of. They sang three songs together at the show and they were so great! Check out Tyrone and Elina here.

Music Monday: Hanson

Last Tuesday night, Heather, Jessica and I lived out a preteen dream of ours. This dream was 13 years in the making. We saw Hanson!!! Please don't laugh or mock, we had enough of that in middle school.

I can't even begin to explain how much fun we had! Every single girl in that room was transformed back to her 12 year old self. We were dancing, singing at the top of our lungs, screaming and laughing with the boys we loved many years ago.

I felt like I flashed back in time: I'm in my bedroom, walls COVERED in posters of Hanson, music blaring, dancing and dreaming that one day Taylor would be mine. Haha! But seriously, every girl in that place was exactly like me. I wanted to laugh at the girl who was crying or dancing like a weirdo, but I couldn't, because that was me too. I'm so thankful I was able to experience this with Heather and Jessica. It couldn't have been a more perfect night....well, except if Taylor proposed to me. Maybe next time...

For posterity, I have to included one of the funniest quotes of the night. I'm sure it's only going to be funny to Jess and Heather. :) "I want to be Taylor's tambourine."
