concerts

It seemed like years ago when I attended my last concert. It was country artist Jordan Davis at the Knitting Factory last year. At the time, we were looking forward to a great concert year in the Treasure Valley that included big names like Cher, the Backstreet Boys, James Taylor, Kenny Chesney, and…

For 80's music fans, hearing the news about rocker Eddie Van Halen's passing was terrible. In a year that has seen so much loss, sadness, and pain, his death just adds to the awful year we're having. Van Halen was always a band that I loved hearing on the radio...

2020 was supposed to be an EPIC year of concerts in the Treasure Valley. The Backstreet Boys. Matchbox 20. Cher. The Goo Goo Dolls. Lifehouse. Lauren Daigle. James Taylor. Journey. But then COVID-19 took it all away from us.

My iPhone calendar broke my heart this morning. It reminded me that I'm supposed to be on vacation today. I'm supposed to be getting on a plane to Denver this afternoon. I'm supposed to see my favorite band at the most beautiful venue in the country tomorrow night.

It's right there in their song lyrics! "As long as there'll be music...we'll be coming back again!" A week after announcing they were postponing their DNA World Tour, the Backstreet Boys have announced their new dates dates.

Another one bites the dust.

When 2020 began, we certainly didn't think that everything that we were looking forward to this summer should've been written on the calendar in pencil.

If you're anything like us, you're sitting on a pile of concert tickets you bought for 2020 wondering if you'll get to use any of them. If tickets for James Taylor's joint tour with Jackson Browne are in that stack, here's what you need to know.

Has anyone else found themselves getting hit right in the feels by songs that you've heard 1,000 times?

Before you pull out your pitchforks and torches and start lecturing me about how selfish and irresponsible I am, hear me out.
