Concert Reviews
Hunter Hayes was the first person I saw in concert; he was the first artist I really connected with and now it’s all come full circle. Hunter announced his Flying Solo Season 2 Tour in February of 2024, a 21-date tour.
Fall Out Boy has been on tour with their new album, So Much (for) Stardust since Summer 2023. Fans couldn’t get enough, so Fall Out Boy took their tour out for part II, “So Much For (2our) Dust”.
I grew up listening to the Jonas Brothers, so each time I see them, it’s like the ultimate dream for my seven-year-old self. It’s also really satisfying and a whole other kind of experience singing songs from 2008 with tons of other fans.
Christian - Rock band Skillet announced their Rock Resurrection tour in November of 2022. The band brought along Theory of a Deadman and Saint Asonia.
Seeing Thomas Rhett has been on my concert bucket list for a long time now. I’ve been a huge fan of him since he let out his EP in 2012. Rhett brought his tour to Irvine, CA and I bought tickets right away.
I’ve seen this band three times in person and one time during a livestream during COVID times. This is one band I will never grow tired of seeing live. It’s as if each show is so different from the last and their tours are always so personally crafted.
What a fulfilling show and a wonderful tour. I came home just wanting to go back and do the same thing the next night. I unfortunately missed their last tour and the fact they were going out on tour again with country powerhouse Kelsea Ballerini made me clear my schedule.
Being able to see a live show after two years was incredible. Surrounded by hundreds who love the same artist, adding some normalcy back in your life and just to go out and have a good forgetting everything that had happened in the last two years.
It’s been too long since I’ve seen Miranda live so I was really happy to get tickets to her Ontario, California stop of the Wildcard tour. I’m a huge fan of this album so I was really looking forward to hearing it sung live.
Calling the tour this was spot on, Hunter played smaller venues in a bunch of different states making it easy to connect more with the audience and for us to connect more with him.
If you’ve been here awhile you know how huge of a Swiftie I am seeing her on her Reputation tour was inevitable. I purchased tickets six months in advance which I think is the longest I’ve ever waited for a concert.
My friend and I attended Echosmith’s VIP Hang Around experience before the show in Los Angeles, CA. This is by far the best VIP/Meet and Greet I have been to.
Amazon Style announced their partner ship with Echosmith with a FREE show at the Americana at Brand which is located just outside of Los Angeles in Glendale, California. I couldn’t pass up a free show especially since it was two weeks away from my first Echosmith show.
Known as the multi-platinum selling alternative/pop band, Echsomith announced a long awaited tour by fans and music lovers alike. The sibling band consisting of Sydney (vocals) Noah (bass/vocals) and Graham (drummer) hit the road for six weeks playing from coast to coast.
“Heartbreak” is my all time favorite album by this legendary country group. When they announced they were going on tour in 2017 I was thrilled and the fact that they were bringing Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young along was just a huge bonus!
I had never been to a Christmas concert before and since it was for KING & COUNTRY I was not going to miss out. The boys brought Lauren Daigle with them for this tour so I was really excited to see her too.
This being Sabrina’s first headlining tour meant it was special - I knew when she announced she was going out on the road I had to grab tickets.
July 27th of 2016 I bough ticket’s to see Miranda Lambert for the very first time. Lambert has always been a really special artist to me so I was over the moon to see her live.
I bought tickets for this show as fast as I could. Rascal Flatts has always been my number one country band and I wasn’t going to pass up seeing them for the first time. Being a fan of Ballerini also this was too good of a tour to miss.
Granger Smith announced his thirty nine date tour back July of 2021 on his Instagram. The tour was named after his most recent album, “Country Things”. I purchased tickets to the second to last date on the tour, in Bakersfield, CA. The show took place at Bakersfield Historical Fox Theater which is a gorgeous venue.
Kelsea Ballerini was announced as a special guest on the Jonas Brother’s Remember This tour back in May. Since then the Jonas Brothers have covered 44 tour date spanning across the states. Ballerini joined them on 40 of those dates.
Luke Bryan’s tenth studio album, “BORN HERE LIVE HERE DIE HERE” was released back in 2020, a full tour to follow with special guests Morgan Wallen as the opener and Caylee Hammack on the first half and Runaway June and the last half of the tour. Due to COVID the tour was cancelled and pushed to 2021 where Morgan Wallen was taken off the tour and Dylan Scott was added. The tour was renamed the, “Proud To Be Right Here” tour.
Lady A announced their eighth studio album “What A Song Can Do” would be released October 22nd as they were already gearing up for their tour they had announced months before the album announcement. Lady A were hitting many places on tour starting in Uncasville, CT and ending in Gilford, NH. The band had invited fellow country artists Tenille Arts, Niko Moon and Carly Pearce out on the road with them.
This past weekend I went to the Irvine, CA stop on Lady A’s What A Song Can Do Tour. I also splurged for M&G’s for Carly Pearce. I absolutely think Pearce is nothing more than a legend and with her third album, “29: Written In Stone” being released the day of the M&G I couldn’t miss the chance to meet her.
I can still vividly hear the echo of fans screaming and shouting, I can hear the words, '“Hello, I’m Taylor and Welcome the 1989 world tour!” It was something I’ll remember forever - who forgets their first Taylor Swift concert?
Bassett recently released his debut album of the same name of his tour. The eleven song record gives fans a glimpse into Bassett’s life from the last few years. Bassett endured breakups, rehabilitation from addiction, and a newfound relationship with his faith and God.
