How I did it: I kept an eye out for concert dates on the websites of my favourite bands, as well as having a few friends (who were quite into live music) tell me when they're planning to buy tickets. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A friend started dragging me out to local bars. That meant being exposed to new bands almost every weekend. Some of them I fell in love with. My original goal was to see more live music from the bands/singers I know and love, but I feel blessed to have learned that I can have an even better time seeing smaller bands with real talent.

How I did it: I always loved music, but never saw many live shows. I think in my life I've gone to three concerts, and a few small dinner theater plays. I got a job working banquets at a casino boat and get to work concerts at least once or twice a month for the past year. Now I get paid to see live music ! Read how I did it…

Donna hello November
During October 2009, my husband and I saw a jazz show and a blues show. Two shows in a month! I love supporting local musicianship.
I have tickets to see them at the end of the month. I’ve seen a pretty good amount of live music this year, methinks :)
Heart at the Ryman
Chuck Leavell at a 300 seat hall here in town
Local songwriter’s showcases, writer’s nights, etc.

The gig on Friday was great but was made fantastic by the fact I dicovered a new band I liked too!
Ann Wilson isn’t sexy. In fact, she took the stage in what appeared to be sweat pants & a pair of white bedroom slippers… But that didn’t seem to matter to anyone at last night’s PACKED show. Every time she stepped up to the mic, the audience ROARED. The Ryman was actually VIBRATING from the applause. It went on & on & on, and even though it was the most outrageous applause I’ve ever seen ANYONE get at The Ryman, I’m sure we all left wishing we could’ve given them more.
Alison Krauss, one of Nashville’s favorite singers, made a guest appearance to sing Nancy’s part on These Dreams… I hate to say it because Alison is wonderful, but last night she stood in Ann’s shadow…
Ann showed everyone that she still has the pipes on Mistral Wind, one of my personal favorites. Barracuda was right on, as well. They did a lot of 80’s Heart songs, which I suppose might be kind of satisfying for them, but honestly, Ann could’ve been singing nursery rhymes & I think she’d still have managed to hold us all captive. They did some tremendous covers of Led Zep, of course, and a version of The Who’s Love Reign O’er Me that brought down the house.
The new band is tight & high-energy. Nancy is still gorgeous as always. But it was Ann who held the real power, even in sweat pants & bedroom slippers.
