Within a 3 day period I attened 2 shows; Pink at the SoFi Stadium, and then Joshua Radin at The Troubadour.  Each was a great show in it's own right and completely different from the other.  I have put off recording this episode for some time because I had other creative focus, but I still want to share with you these amazing experiences I was able to have with live music.

7 albums, 2 ½ hours, a circular stage that rotates, 81,000 of my closest friends, and 1 epic performance from the front row. Ed Sheeran's Mathematics Tour came to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood CA so I had to attend. This was a ticket I purchased almost a year ago to be sure I didn't miss it and I am so glad I did.  After watching the documentary The Sum Of It All on Disney+ the songs Ed sung on this setlist were even more impactful and more meaningful when heard live. You could clearly see the emotion on his face during a couple of them.  Press play to hear all about the 4th or 5th time ..read more

Janet Jackson (Miss Jackson if you nasty) brought her Together Again tour to FivePoints Amphetheater in Irvine, California and it was everything I expected it to be. For only having 4 background dancers, a live band, not touring in 3+ years, and being almost 60 years old this was an amazing show.  Opened for by Ludacris who took us back to our high school days, I couldn't have asked for a more fun night. Tune in to this episode where I dive all into being Together Again with Janet Jackson ..read more

Ok this episode is a little overdue but I still wanted to talk about Stagecoach 2023. The festival took place a little over a month ago from the time of this episode in Indio, California just after the Coachella festival in the same location. This year's headliners were Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, and Chris Stapleton but there was so many other great acts performing as well.  While I didn't attend the festival I did watch the live stream and there is plenty to talk about. Tune in, subscribe, share with a friend as we dive all into Stagecoach 2023 ..read more

Caochella 2023 was....interesting to say the least.  Full disclosure, I did not attend the festival in person this year, but I did watch the live streams all 3 nights both weekends, and I am in 3 very active groups around the festival. This episode was originally going to be a review of weekend 1, but as I was recording it so many things kept developing with Coachella as a whole and the lineup for weekend 2 that I just decided to wait and review both at the same time. I am glad I did. I said it last year and I will say it again this year; next year, all 3 weekends for sure.  Tune in ..read more
