I was looking at my calendar today and noticed that I have some HUGE concerts coming my way that I am fortunate to have tickets to. If you know me, you know that I LOVE concerts. All kinds. Yes, even the symphony.
I was really fortunate to grow up in a family who loves concert, which is probably where I get it from. My first 
concert I ever saw, at least that I can remember, was Billy Joel-River of Dreams concert when I was in 5th grade. I remember making myself learn all the words to “We Didn’t Start the Fire” before I went so that I could sing-along when Billy played it. I actually had to get my parents old Billy Joel cassette tapes out and play them on my karaoke machine to learn the words. Rewind…Rewind…Rewind.
Since then I have seen some pretty incredible shows and have made a promise to expose my kids(when I have them) as much live music as possible. In the next couple months I have some great concerts to attend , both very different in style and crowd type, but equally exciting (OK maybe one a little more than the other).
March means it’s Rodeo time in Houston and this year I am going to see Lady Antebellum. Now, I would not call myself a country music fan because I KNOW country music fans and they are diehard. I mean they bleed country music, but there are a lot of country bands that I really like and Lady A is definitely one of them. While I would call them more of a contemporary country group bordering on the line of pop rock, they still have the heartfelt, yet gut wrenching lyrics that accompany a good country ballad. They have great chemistry too! I actually thought the two lead singers were married, but I have been informed otherwise. Ooops! but kudos to them for making us believe they would actually “Run” to each other.
Next up, in March and what I am most excited about…..drumroll please….MUSE!! AHHHH! My parents gave my sister and I an early Valentine’s Day present last weekend when they informed us that they bought us tickets to see the fabulous British group. I am simply ecstatic. I have seen the group once before at ACL a couple years ago and they blew me away with their sound and incredible showmanship. It’s chilling how great they are. I am really looking forward to their show at the Toyota Center and will hopefully be able to post some pics of my sister and I.
Did anyone catch their show when they came with U2? I wanted to go then, but I can’t stand U2 so I didn’t spend the money…Bono..uggh! *shudder*
Here is a preview of the show: Squeeeeeeal! Check out the crowd!!
