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)!
