I have been super psyched up for the past handful of months over a show we are going to this Summer, Arcade Fire. I am a huge fan to say the least. As I have been squealing like a teenage girl since we got the tickets, seriously, this got me thinking about my concert bucket list, and how I have seen some great shows and WANT to see some great artists before I get too old (which isn’t a thing right?!).
When I talked over this list with my husband last week, you know to get him up to speed on who I want to see. next..ahem… he was surprised at some of the artists I wanted to see or have seen..so I thought to share them. Some of the artists on my list are there because they are just legends of music and, well, I want to see them!
So here it is…
