Concert

So I went to the concert at Good Beans Cafe on Friday night. It was really fun. There were lots of people in all sorts of different costumes. There were four different artists that I got to hear including Arlow Xan, The Loose Ties, and Chris Russell was the headliner.



I really enjoyed this concert. It was a lot of fun. I even saw a couple people that I knew who weren't playing in any of the bands. I of course know the people in the bands because I've seen them more than a few times.

Everyone played really well. It was kind of weird to see the people in costumes while playing on stage. It was cool, though. There was also the added bonus of poetry, also. It was good to hear.



I also was able to wear a costume. I wore my pirate outfit which included a sword, a vest, a frillyh blouse, and an eye patch. It only cost me less than ten dollars for both the sword and the eye patch. I was pretty happy with my purchases, let me tell you.



I'm excited because I've decided that I'm going to go to a concert on the 30th at Churchill's. Arlow Xan is going to be performing which is awesome. I'm a big fan of them. If you've never heard their music, I would really recommend you check them out. They are a local band that performs around the Flint area. I'm sure you could catch if you really wanted to.  You can go to their website for more information.



I also enjoyed hearing Chris Russell. He's a really good guitarist and I also really like his singing voice. It works for him. I also was able to request "Daughters" by John Mayer for him to play. It's a good song and the version he plays is good, also. The only thing was that he could have used less reverb on that particular song. It would have sounded better. He's a really good musician, though, and you can check his music out here.



Support your local artists!

  1. I would prefer to see an up and coming local artist anyday before paying big bucks for a big name artist. My husband and I like to go to Ferndale and Ann Arbor sometimes to check out new, local artists, and have yet to be disappointed!
