Music Monday: Tyrone Wells

One day about a month or so ago, I was driving home from work and someone on the radio mentioned something about Tyrone Wells coming back to Boise. I was annoyed because by the time I got home they still hadn't announced any of the details.  I hopped on the computer and found out that he was going to be in Boise on March 21st.  I instantly tweeted about how excited I was and heard back from Tyrone a little bit later.  Heather and I ended up being able to do merch for him again.

It was nice to be back at The Knitting Factory because there's a lot more room for the merch.  We met some great people.  Joe Brooks opened for Tyrone. He was great and we ended up getting his cd.  Tyrone's set was amazing. He played a little bit of something for all of his albums. It was great to hear him play from his new album and share about the different songs. We were able to chat with him before we left and congratulate him on his new baby girl. He's such an awesome guy; it's always great to see him!

Be sure to check out his tour schedule and see if he'll be in your city anytime soon.

Check out a couple songs from his new album Where We Meet.

Music Monday: Tyrone Wells

You may have already seen Heather's post HERE about when we went to see Tyrone Wells, but I couldn't NOT post about it too. I knew for a month or so that Tyrone was coming back to Boise so I sent him a tweet asking if he'd need help with merch again. He said yes and Heather and I couldn't wait! It's a great way to see a show for free, especially being very broke right now.

It was great to see Tyrone and Mark again! They're both so friendly and genuine. It's always refreshing to meet people like that. The show was great and the merch table was close to the stage! It was at a bar, so unfortunately there were the annoying drunk people that got too loud. Tyrone ended up stopping one song because no one would quiet down, which was unfortunate. Heather and I were just glad we had the merch table as a barrier from some of the crazies because I don't like dealing with crowds like that. Anyway, Tyrone played some new songs and I'm really looking forward to his new album coming out, in hopefully the near future. I look forward to attending many more of his shows!

Stand Alone

Yesterday on What I Wore, Jessica's post really spoke to me. It was a reminder to herself not to try to be anyone else, to stand alone. I've been struggling over the last year with trying to find who I am as a photographer. I've always been extremely self-conscious and worried about how other people perceive me. Throughout college and after college I gained confidence and have become more outgoing. Although there are times when I feel like I slip back into that awful feeling of not being comfortable with who I am and I feel incredibly anxious about it. This post is a reminder to me that I shouldn't compare myself to anyone, including other photographers or artists. God created me for His glory and I want to use the talents and gifts that He has given me to glorify Him. As Jessica said, "You are you. Stand alone."

Whip It

This is one of the many new movies that is coming out that I really want to see. I'm really bummed because there are two free pre-screenings in the LA area, but they're both full. No free t-shirt for me. :( I think one of my new things will be trying to go to pre-screenings of movies. What's better than a free screening of a movie when you're totally broke??
