Introducing. . . Kara's Concert Chronicles!


According to my father, I have a problem. . . He calls me a concert-holic lol. In actuality, I think I just really enjoy the live music experience. It's one thing to have a CD and listen to your favorite songs but it's a totally different thing to hear the artist and see and feel the emotion behind the music that they're singing or playing. I LOVE that!

If anything- my parents are the ones to blame for my love of music. If you know my family, you already know that many of my relatives are musically-inclined. And my parents first met in a band when they were in high school ;-).

Anyway- lots of times, my friends and family members ask, "How do you know about all these shows/events?!" So I've decided to give y'all the inside scoop haha!

I'll let you know what venues I enjoy, tell you about artists to follow and maybe I'll even suggest some decent restaurants (in addition to good music, I love good food). . . with pics and/or video clips from (some of) the shows that I attend.


Feel free to comment below and let me know what shows you're looking forward to or artists that you love! Maybe we can trade ideas. . .

To start things off, I'm going back to September 28, 2013. As part of my Birthday Celebration, my parents, girlfriends and I went to World Cafe Live (3025 Walnut Street ~ Philadelphia, PA) to see the now-> Grammy Award-winning group. . . SNARKY PUPPY!  My dad introduced me to their music a few years ago and I have been a fan ever since.

Here's a video of them playing a remixed version of one of my favorite tracks, "Binky" as well as some other surprises. . . And I'm apologizing in advance-> I got excited so the video's kinda jumpy in the middle haha!



And here's the song that got them a Grammy. . . Something (featuring the incredible Lalah Hathaway)!

7 Revelations for 37

I really was trying to get through this birthday- well- get away with not writing anything specific, but all of a sudden, ideas started flowing. So. . . Here are 7 Revelations that I am trying to be mindful of as I go through Year 37. 1. Proverbs 4:23 is a command (not a suggestion). It reads, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life (AMP)." Other translations say to keep or guard  your heart. . . In other words, be selective and protect it. Watch what you allow to enter your heart. Seeds may be planted by various circumstances, people with whom you interact, etc. but you do not need to allow everything to take root. Things like bitterness, frustration, and envy will try to find a home within you.  Beware: Whatever you allow to take root in your heart will be reflected through your actions! 2. This goes right with Point #1. Be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Clearing the air can also help to keep your heart [and spirit] c...

Let It Go {One Year of Freedom}

"...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." - Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)  **If you don't get anything else out of this post, I pray that you realize. . . you really can do all things through Christ - especially when your desire is to please Him! He will strengthen you to walk uprightly before Him.** ---------- Believe me when I say. . . Knowing what you need to do is very  different from actually doing it. Sometimes it is difficult to do what we know is right. That's where I found myself, in November and December of 2022. Let me take you back. . . As a single woman (just in case anybody needs clarification 😉), I was opening myself up to meeting guys and getting to know them when I crossed paths with  Royal . Initially, we seemed to have quite a few things in common: faith, a desire to serve our communities, a strong love for our families, and. . . a way with words. (*insert face...

I Almost. . . But I Didn't!- October 11, 2011

I almost forgot what I was worth. . . almost forgot that He loved me first but He reminded me. Things almost got out of hand. I almost walked out of His Will. . . His plan for me! Yet, He loved me! So much so, that He sent messages to me. Whether it was through a still, soft voice Or a gentle nudge to make the right choice. I heard it.  I felt it. I heard Him say. . . Don't listen to the world’s sweet nothings. Everything's not gold- just because it glistens. I've created you for myself . I want to be your love, your joy. . . your help. When will you realize how much I  love you? What more do I have to do?! I've given you strength, health and life. I can take what’s wrong and make it right. Don't sell yourself short! How I feel for you is in my Word. You’re wonderful beautiful fearfully made The love I have for you will never fade. Don’t let the world distract you. Simply set your affections on the things that are true Lovel...
