I love to see/hear live music, who doesn't? This has been a phenomenal week! Richard & I got out to see three shows. Three sitters in one week; that is unheard of for the Currans. Three sitters in six months is more our pace.
We started out Monday at Humphrey's with Chris Isaak. I love him and Humphrey's is one of San Diego's best venues. Chris puts on such a wonderful show. I have seen him 4 or 5 times now and I aways leave filled with joy and looking forward to our next meeting. If you are not familiar with Chris, do yourself a favor & download some of his music. He's timeless. I love him...oh, I said that already. Check him out here doing Roy Orbison.
No, I did not get to photograph Chris, maybe next year...
On Wednesday, with camera in hand, we headed out to see Fitz & the Tantrums at Birch Aquarium Green Flash Concert Series. This spectacular venue sits atop the cliffs of La Jolla overlooking the Pacific. The stage is set up over a tide pool. Fitz & the Tantrums (FATT) have had quite a year and, after seeing them live, I don't think they are slowing down anytime soon. This band has a bit of a retro-funk, Motown sound. Front man, Michael Fitzpatrick with his David Byrne-isque moves, & beauty Noelle Scaggs interact energetically to put on a fantastically entertaining show.

Then last night we headed out to Bernardo Winery for a KPRI private listener concert featuring Lissie. I have heard 2 of her songs on SiriusXM, the Spectrum & really liked them both so I was quite excite to get to see & photographer her up close. She did not disappoint, I am a huge Lissie fan now. She is a pretty & feminine, tough & rockin' chick with a bright future!!!

In closing I must tell you I am not a music critic, nor do I wish to be one,
but I will say this....
shootin' music is sooo much fun !!!
Kim, These are absolutely delicious. I love these three as well. But even if I didn't I'd fall in love with them because of the photos. You rock...get it?
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Great shots. I totally thought that 'Fitz' looked like David Byrne! lol So Cal is the best place to see bands outdoors in Summertime. I wish I had more time to enjoy those things while I was there. So great to see you guys! Thanks for putting up the pic and the link! Enjoy the rest of your Summer! xoxo
