I never realized how much I loved live music until I went to Lollapalooza this year. It was absolutely my favorite weekend this summer!

I then realized something else, I realized how much I loved non-headliners. I enjoyed the big names like Eminem and even Coldplay but there’s something so contagious about the energy coming out of the newer acts in music. They’re always so happy and appreciative to be performing and are always giving it their all. Again, I’m not saying that the bigger names don’t but this is different.

I think the reason I am starting this section of my blog is because great music is a huge part of the many wonderful experiences that Chicago offers and I would love to share a little bit of what I encounter with everyone else. It won’t be long reviews- just a few sentences here and there along with a video to get you started.

There’s so much energy coming out of her and you can’t help but get infected by it and before you know it, you’re dancing around and singing along with her. Her biggest talent might just be doing acoustic. A truly magical.
