just a tribute: to outdoor summer concerts

The ideal outdoor summer concert venue of choice for me is definitely WolfTrap! If any of you DC/NoVA folks have not been, I highly recommend it. Why do you ask? Cause you can bring in your own booze! At the risk of sounding like an alcoholic, let me also mention that you can bring in a whole picnic of different foods as well! But, it is so refreshing to be able to enjoy a concert without spending $8 for one beer or small glass of wine. John and I have had the pleasure of seeing the 3 wonderful concerts this summer:

Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw




A staple at any summer concert is always 1,2 or on occasion maybe 3 bottles of wine (depending on how many people are going, of course), a large assortment of cheeses, and a delicious entree! Colbie and Gavin put on an amazing concert! My favorite song performed was Gavin DeGraw's new single "Sweeter"!


Hot Chelle Rae and Demi Lovato



We took Shannon to go see Hot Chelle Rae and Demi Lovato as a gift for finishing up Elementary School. That's right the baby of the Kelliher Squad is entering middle school (pause for tears). Lucky for us, John went early to get us good seats, and in doing so I don't think he has ever felt more uncomfortable in his life waiting in line with a mass crowd of tweens. Here is my current favorite Demi Lovato song (don't judge, I got to keep up with the little sis)!


Jackson Browne



The last WolfTrap concert we went to, and potentially for the rest of the summer :(, was Jackson Browne. John and I bought tickets for my Dad's birthday, but I kind of feel like I bought myself a present I enjoyed the concert so much. It was the perfect weeknight concert and I would go again in a heartbeat. One of my favorite songs performed that night was "These Days". I am neither confirming nor denying whether or not I shed a tear during the performance...



What concerts have you gone to this summer?
