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)!

The Unexpected Temptation

I know. . . It's been time for me to write something new.🙈 However, coming across this video from Jackie Hill Perry to prompted me to actually get this post out. One line pierced my heart. "When you have a gift that involves words, one of the ways the enemy will tempt you is to be silent." Wow!  I hone stly think silence is one of the last things that comes to mind when people think of temptation. According to Oxford Languages, the definition of temptation is  the desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. I can hear someone asking, "How can silence be wrong or unwise?"  Oh. . . Hold on for just a minute and it will come together. There are times when our obedience [to speak] may be the key to someone else's blessing . Your words and actions could essentially provide healing for your brother or sister in Christ! In the book of Revelation, we read, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.....

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 Can't Buy It!

"They are trying way too hard." Have you ever watched a tv show/movie or had a conversation with someone and thought that?  Sometimes it could be a matter of trying to create a sense of chemistry that isn't there or maybe one person is trying to impress another.  It's quite interesting to me. . . I remember having a conversation with my uncle, a few years ago.  We were discussing the various ways that people may treat PKs (preacher's kids).  Sometimes people feel extremely comfortable talking to me- when they find out that my father is a pastor.  ( At times, they become a little too comfortable and I start to feel like their therapist. . . I love to offer encouraging words though.  And I appreciate the fact that they trust me enough to share things with me. )  Other people seem to close up.  It's as though they think I'll scrutinize their every move :-/.  I promise- I'm a sweetheart :-). THEN. . . we have those people who end up being ...
